If I Gave You A Party (Extended Version)

Syrup recorded If I Gave You A Party as a contemporary version of Sexual Harrassment's 1983 track for Gomma's Anti NY project. The group was a German funk ensemble connected to The Poets of Rhythm, with Jan Krause, Jan Weissenfeldt, Max Weissenfeldt, Boris Geiger, Michael Treetop Voss and Wolfgang Schlick among its core members. If I Gave You A Party appeared in the early-2000s revival of New York underground dance and no-wave material around Gomma's Anti NY releases. The Syrup version recast Sexual Harrassment's cult electro-funk original for a European club audience. If I Gave You A Party remains one of Syrup's most visible tracks through its later digital circulation as the Extended Version. Its link to the Anti NY compilation connects it to the broader rediscovery of early-1980s New York underground dance music.
