For The Kids



After a couple of original OOFT trax and remixes have recently come out on vinyl, next up is the one a lot of people have been asking for - the Dexter Wansel edit. Originally I wasn't going to release it as it's a pretty straight edit but seen as all proceeds from House Is The Cure go to charity (no profits for the label or artists) then I thought, ok then :)

Pick it up here.

This is his first mix to see the light of day, containing the the next single Machine Code plus two exclusives, as he ramps up on the DJ scene.

RJA27 : Hotel Motel



Hotel Motel are checking in for the latest Ruff Jamz to coincide with their release on Home Taping Is Killing Music.

A joint collaboration between a certain Bill Brewster and Alex Tepper, the pair met 16 years ago when Bill signed one of Alex's first productions to a New York label he was running and continued over the years to plough the sonic fields for audio potatoes. According to their press release, some of their work is already being described as "like Salvador Dali with his pants down being fellated by Deirdre Barlow" ... a very fair and vivid comparison in our book.

Since then he's continued to wow us with releases on Still Love For Music and Universal Vibes, with more new material forthcoming on Jacques Renaults On The Prowl Recordings, so ears peeled.

FOTO-002



After a slight delay the second FOTO Recordings 12" is here. I'm really excited to release an EP from Liverpool's Andy Ash as he is one of the most underrated house producers out there. The A-side "Dance" is a loping Detroit inspired house number, whilst on the flip Andy get's all choppy on some 80's soul to create the banging pitch-down "Mason in my Basin".

Buy at Juno this week. Everywhere else from Monday 1/11/10

Asya Gorbacheva aka DJ Sandra is a Moscow based vinyl lover and dj who is well known for her eclectic music selection aswell as being the resident of two famous spots - Denis Simachev Bar and Solyanka.

The next Odyssey night takes place on 29th August and it's their end of season party, so you'd be a Moscow Mule to miss it.

Having pricked-up ears over at OOFT towers due to some tracky pitch-down groovers it only seemed right to ask Reset* to provide a mix for our little podcast.

Dirk has been one of the main players in his homeland for many a year. Whether running his world-renowned Eskimo and Mindless Boogie labels or DJing in the just-as-famous Culture Club, he's responsible for digging up most of todays superstar editors. Next on the hit list is building up his new label Abracada, so keep the eyes peeled. The mix itself comes across like a lost hour on the white-isle. Roll on summer ;)

New Rework Comin' At Ya



Yip, we've not posted up any new edits for a long time, mainly because we've been busy on original material. Anyways, I had a half finished version of this Melba Moore rework in my crates for a wee while which I was just keeping for personal use but since everyone is using it for samples these days (Tiger & Woods, Reset* etc...) I thought I'd update it and give it out :)
The original is great; with Kashif twiddling the knobs in the studio it came out a bit like The Evelyn Champange King track that Mark E sampled for RnB Drunkie.

Weekend party action ;)

Usual script, downloads will be for a limited time only.
