'Bring Down the Walls' was a nod to Raze's 'Break for Love', Robert Owens' 'Bring Down the Walls', and Ritchie Hawtin's use of the Roland 606 throughout 'Sheet One.' We gave the tune a Californian psychedelic twist with conga laden drums, a moody synth, low pulsing 303 patterns + Benjamin Zephaniah's patois call to 'Move the Body Rhythmwize!' The first PCH releases had dropped Worldwide to International acclaim from DJ's far and wide across the Globe with support in London, Paris & New York. However the local scene here in L.A that preached 'Love, inclusion & Unity' was anything but that. L.A at that time was very tribal & divided up into 3 camps. If you weren't affiliated with any of them (aka independent) then you were pretty much locked out of getting any kind of gig support or the Dj's from those camps actually playing the music. The local feedback from Dj's was that what we were making wasn't 'house,' but 'Techno' which was absurd to me. 'Bring Down the Walls' was a mantra to 'move the body' and in doing so 'bring down the walls' of separation not just in L.A but throughout society in general. Thank goodness for support from people like Terry Francis, Eddie Richards, DJ Deep, & Philly Stalwart King Britt. After years of copies going for upward of $100+ on Discogs the now freshly remastered copies by At Jazz's Martin Iveson are finally hitting the platters in 2026. Jesse Outlaw 'Let It Go'. I met Jesse at Beatnonstop Records on Melrose Ave with Miguel Placencia in the late 90's. Miguel (RIP) was a mainstay in the Underground scene and had always been very supportive of my endeavors. He had had success with a huge release on Yellow Orange and was working with Jesse under the moniker 'When Worlds Collide.' I signed 'Brighter Days' & 'Set you Free' from them and released the tracks on my Seductive imprint. They told me that they were making the tracks on a Sony Playstation 'Music Now' program and I was like FFS 'What's more Underground than that!?' Later Jesse gave me some of his solo work. The track 'Let it Go' was never mastered & only ever cut to Dub-plate and featured on my 1st PCH mix 'Pacific Coast House Sounds.' It has now been mastered by Martin Iveson and is available in all it's glory. The dreamy vocal 'You need to let it go' beckons over the top of driving percussive Latin beats and church organ which is a great compliment to the flip side of 'Bring down the Walls.' All in all two West Coast stompers now finally available remastered on PCH in Orange vinyl. Tracklisting: A. The Coastal Commission - Bring Down The Walls B. Jesse Outlaw - Let It Go
