Pegasvs returns to Burnin Music Recordings with “Can’t Get Enough,” a new collaboration with New Zealand-born, London-based musician Willy Delphia that draws from classic 1990s house and the deeper, jazz-influenced productions associated with the label. The two-track release also features a remix from Medlar, whose catalog includes material on Delusions of Grandeur, Wolf Music, and several other established house imprints.
Released October 23, the record is available digitally alongside a particularly limited physical edition of just 50 individually cut 10-inch records.
The original version places electronic bass, recurring chord stabs, female vocals, and synthesizers within a conventional house arrangement, with Willy Delphia contributing the keyboard parts.
Medlar approaches the recording differently, reducing the emphasis on the original arrangement in favor of a more repetitive, rhythm-oriented interpretation. The two versions give DJs alternative approaches to the same composition rather than simply extending the original with additional instrumental passages.
This release also connects to how Pegasvs has developed Burnin Music over the past several years.
The label has maintained a relatively selective catalog since launching in 2017, with releases drawing from deep house, disco, jazz, and the musical traditions associated with early underground house. “Can’t Get Enough” continues those interests while bringing another musician into the original production and giving Medlar an opportunity to reinterpret the material.
Burnin Music Continues Its Focus on Vinyl Releases
One of the more unusual decisions surrounding “Can’t Get Enough” is the physical edition.
Burnin Music has produced just 50 individually lathe-cut 10-inch dubplates, pressed on transparent red material. Each copy is hand-stamped and numbered, with an exclusive artwork insert designed by Cerri Studio.
The edition is priced at £25 through Bandcamp, while the digital release costs £4. Digital purchases are available in standard download formats, including 24-bit/48kHz files.
A lathe-cut record differs from a conventionally pressed vinyl release because the audio is cut directly into the disc rather than manufacturing copies using a metal stamper. This production method can accommodate exceptionally small quantities, although playback characteristics and durability depend on the materials and cutting process.
For independent labels, that presents an alternative to committing to a larger traditional pressing run. It lets labels manufacture physical records in smaller quantities, though per-unit cost and manufacturing considerations can differ considerably from conventional vinyl production.
The approach is especially relevant to a release of just two tracks. Instead of preparing a larger EP or album specifically to justify the cost of manufacturing vinyl, the label can offer the original and remix together in a physical format.
We’ve examined similar decisions in our interview with Toronto Hustle and Sean Roman, whose collaborative EP The Unity was released on vinyl. Their experience with underground house production and vinyl-focused labels provides another example of how physical records remain part of smaller independent music operations.
For Burnin Music, the limited edition also includes a digital release, so listeners don’t need a turntable or one of the 50 physical copies to access the music.
Can’t Get Enough is out now on Burnin Music Recordings, available digitally and as a limited transparent red 10-inch dubplate through Pegasvs’ Bandcamp.
