If you love hunting down major Italodance gems from the nineties, this pressing demands your attention. Released in 1995 on the Italian label Hotline Records (catalog number HOT 124), the "Whatever" 12-inch single by the M.S. Klang project - spearheaded by the duo Manuela and Stefano Ghilardi - perfectly encapsulates the club energy of that era. Recorded at Mela Studios in Verona, the production boasts a heavyweight lineup: Fabio Turatti and Mauro Farina at the controls, driven by the hypnotic vocals of Clara Moroni. Once the record hits the turntable, there isn't a dull moment. Spread across 33⅓ and 45 RPM speeds, the four tracks deliver pure listening pleasure: the hard-hitting "Speed Version" on Side A, the fresh "Piano Version," the raw energy of the "Guitar Version," and a "Sampling Bonus Beat" tailor-made for DJs. The result? The record has achieved cult status. Sought after by hundreds of crate-diggers, this original pressing now commands high prices on the secondhand market. But let's be honest: the moment the stylus hits the groove, you instantly understand why its value has skyrocketed.
