Pretty bonkers house track from 1988 that I found on a Virgin Records compilation called 12 Inches of Virgin lol. From Gordon Laing Matthewman aka DJ Edge, founder of Edge Records. His techno and acid experiments are occasionally really cool, and I love the transitory enthusiasm of something like "Culminatr Mix"; this other track as Blow is just as saucy as this one, if less urgent, and this bootleg remix of "Compnded" channels the frazzled-ness into another critical hit. He was also a live trumpeter at the time apparently. Was he playing trumpet on this? I want to believe.
Other Edge Records notables from later on: this nice hardcore track from Space Cube, aka downtempo guy Ian Pooley meets funky-house guy DJ Tonka, and this Mike Ink one that got an awesome Autechre remix I'd never heard before. None of this stuff is as good as "Go" but it's worth linking for rabbit-hole purposes. An '80s house V/A comp has never really steered me wrong.
