Dave Clarke ‘s Red 2 gets a remaster, featuring the infamous duo of tracks, Wisdom To The Wise and Gonk

Cult classic and blueprint for all techno music to follow, Red 2 gets a remaster, featuring the infamous duo of tracks, Wisdom To The Wise and Gonk.


I do not believe I actually ever heard a DJ even play ‘I Am House’ by The Elect on the dancefloor, but the lyrics and deepness of the track struck something within me (it still does) and the lyric “Wisdom to the Wise” always stayed with me. Fast forward to the end of 1992 / beginning of 1993, I had this track that had no title and the eureka moment came, the two just fitted together hand in glove, the title meant to me “for the heads” “for those that know the difference”. It was a different scene, nascent, on the peripheries of sub culture, a wink wink with other heads, and Red Two for me was a book end from when House Music like The Elect was for the “weird” people, then bouncy castles and raves and money took over, then club culture came back and Techno started to credibly flourish.Dave Clarke
