The legendary Pleasure of Love reissue imprint New Islands returns with a meticulously restored edition of the highly sought-after “Oh Boy” by Venus II. Originally produced in 1987 by Paul Robb of Information Society, this rare gem emerged from the Minneapolis scene as an otherworldly girl group with a distinctive sound that continues to captivate Balearic DJs and collectors.

Venus II was a mysterious duo who wrote, programmed, and performed everything live both in the studio and on stage, creating a unique blend of new wave, house, and Balearic influences. Their local hit “Oh Boy” has gained cult status over the decades, and now, thanks to New Islands, fans can experience a lush, high-quality reissue sourced directly from the original multi-track tapes.

This release features the original 12″ mixes alongside two remixes by Justin Strauss, a revered figure in dance music known for his deep house and Balearic productions. Whether you’re into Nu Shooz, Tom Tom Club, or Torch Song, this vinyl offers a timeless sound with both downtempo and organ-led deep house vibes.
