Alongside Sueno Latino's self-titled debut and Don Carlos's 'Alone', Key Tronics Ensemble's 'House of Calyposo' (and its similar but slightly different B-side take, 'Calypso of House') did more than any other record to define the Italian 'dream house' sound. It was swiftly followed by a lesser-celebrated remix EP, and it's that 1990 release that's been given the remix treatment here. It's led on side A by the organ-rich, classic Italo-house flex of the 'Remix' version, which replaces the familiar piano motifs with some fresh - but equally sunrise-ready - keyboard solos. The 'Softhouse Version' follows - think waves of piano solos bolted to a chunky Italo-house groove, before we're treated to the ultimate version of the track: the peerless, life-affirming brilliance of the rightly popular 'Paradise Version'. In a word: essential!
