Collection: WRINGLER

Distangled is dusting off another hidden gem with the reissue of Barfly, a rare and sought-after mid-90s release by Wringler. Originally pressed in the Netherlands, this obscurity has been a favourite among collectors for years, often trading hands for serious money. It's easy to see whyithis six-track offering navigates the boundaries of house and techno with a raw, unpolished feel that gives the music an undeniable edge. There's even a playful nod to disco in the mix, adding some unexpected grooves to the otherwise gritty soundscape. What makes this reissue especially intriguing are the three previously unreleased tracks. Found buried on the original session tapes, these tracks broaden the scope of the album and offer a glimpse into Wringler's studio sessions, revealing layers of depth and creativity beyond what was initially released. Like the best reissues, this one does more than just preserve the past; it reintroduces an album that feels strangely out of time. The sounds, raw as they are, resonate with a contemporary audience, proving once again that Wringler's production has an enduring quality. Barfly is a reminder that the underground can always come back to the surface, offering fresh perspectives on sounds we thought we knew. Big tip for those in the know!
