Kano's 'It's a War', a guitar and Clavinet-laden throb-job from 1980, is one of Italo-disco's most celebrated moments - a gorgeously over-the-top affair whose bleeping lead lines, sequenced synths, rubbery bass guitar and spoken word vocals are instantly recognisable. Here it gets brought bang up to date thanks to new mixes from Kano themselves, and Purple Disco Machine and Lorenz Rhode. The latter pair delivers vocal and instrumental takes on side A, eschewing the guitars, beefing up the beats and giving more prominence to the driving bassline, bleeping melody and sequenced synths. Kano's 2022 mix of the track restores the elements they left out, adding a touch of low-end weight, while their accompanying light-touch rework of 'I'm Ready' (arguably the trio's greatest moment first time around) is a body-popping, life-affirming delight.
