Just a quick heads up to remind all those in the Glasgow area that you can catch us Djing in the basment of IVY this new years eve from 9pm. We've both been scurrying around finishing some new edits especially so there should be a load of choice cuts aired on the night.
IVY is a lovely intimate venue which is the antithesis of the over-hyped, over-priced club nights that dominate the clubbing calendar at this time of year. So if you're still undecided where to go on Wednesday then you could do a lot worse than come down to 157 North Street...see you there ;)
Tickets are £5 from Tickets Scotland or the IVY itself.

First heard of this over on the DJ History forum, but didn't realise there were so many episodes. If you love your 70's & 80's pop like we do you'll find this hilarious!

If any of you are in the area this Saturday we're holding down the Sub Club with Joe Claussell (Body & Soul NYC). Unbelievably it's his Subbie debut so it may well turn into a sweat-box. We can't wait ...

You Can't Hide From Your...
I was doing some basic edits for my own use over the last week or so, but since we've not been posting too much of our proper works on here recently I thought I'd share this sympathetic DJ-friendly edit of a classic.

We're fast approaching the end of the year and we'd like you lot to give us some ideas as to what tracks you'd like us to re-post for our end of year selection. We'll be doing a 'top-ten' list of 192kbps downloads and you can suggest any of the tracks we've posted so far for inclusion. Just post your 3 favourite tracks (max) in the comments section and we'll use those suggestions along with our own to make the final list.
We'll post the final selection at the beginning of December for 14 days.

The Revenge L.E.S.S. Productions CD will be appearing in the next few weeks, so I thought I'd give you a heads up on one of the tracks which will feature. We hope to get a tracklist to you in the next week or so. (Thanks to Harri for turning my ears on to the original Stevie Wonder track)

Sensual
Here's a quick refix of a classic piece of deep filtered house from ol' Reel 2 Reel's Subliminal label way before it went "main room". Shows that a house track just doesn't need to be complicated as long as the groove is there.

Biggie
Since we've not been posting too much round these parts recently I thought I'd stick up a number I've dug out for recent DJ sets - "Macs & Dons" off the extra versions of the Notorius BIGs seminal Ready to Die LP. Rough East Coast shizz all the way...

Heads
This track from A Night At The Jazz Rooms has been kicking about for a while, and although all the tracks are nice, the obvious one sticks out for me. Alex Wilson does a great version of this Chaka track. I've tweaked it a bit for my sets over the summer.

Hot Club Joint
Here's an old studio track from the Five20East stable which found it's way into my box again recently. Having only appeared on vinyl many years ago on the Hot Club Joints EP we're hoping to get some remixes done at some point and do a full digital release. Our good friend Paul Joseph shining on vocal duties here.

Available at the moment from Five20East and soon through a few specialist stores.

Jisco Biscuits
We are proud to wet you ear channels with news that the lovely Jisco Music have just released Cadillac & Planets together (posted some time ago right here) on one large black piece of plastic. It measures 12 inches and is covered in loads of little grooves which contain some of our work (and the work of others of course). Mark E's got a new one out on Jisco too which is damn fine.

Everedit
Here's one I've been using to finish with recently, but it's also a good one for switching down to some reggae stuff or keeping on with some jump-up jungle if the feeling hits. Whichever way - the original is a fantastic song in it's own right I just wanted to lighten it a bit. More power to Mr Grohl and his foo-crew. (14 days on the download)

Music
It's been rinsed over the years by countless producers, but it's always good to have a new take on a classic I reckon. I've rolled it out again for a few gigs recently so I thought you peeps could use it for some of those summer situations.

Our New Friends Up North
As a pre-emtive strike to our first appearance at the renowned club Snafu in Aberdeen, the chaps at the club asked us for an exclusive podcast showcasing the OOFT sound.
Well as you may know we always find it difficult to fit in our range of toons to an hour long mix, but I tried my hardest in this one-take live mix using my trusty Serato. There's some L.E.S.S. exclusives, recent club bangers and a fair few old faves from the last couple of years. Go seek here.

Although we're not heading out to The White Isle this year, I've always imagined this may suit the sunset / sunrise sessions. Doesn't quite have the same resonance on a wet weekend in Glasgow. Hopefully the sun will shine for us at Rockness this weekend.

Spanky Gets...
Apologies for the lack of posts around these parts recently - we've been working on some new stuff for our upcoming L.E.S.S. Productions releases. With that in mind here's an edit that didn't make the cut but is still pretty good I think. Quantic & Spanky's jazz-funk outing given an old school acid house reworking, OOFT style.

Dub Your Neighbour
We've got Mark E (Jisco / Running Back) making his Glasgow debut alongside DK (Ninja Tune) for our Bank Holiday bash at Ivy this weekend so I thought I'd post an edit I'd done a while back of one of Tata Vega's tracks (Mark famously reworked Get It Up For Love for Jisco). We'll be supporting alongside our good friend Boom Monk Ben who is now taking care of our bookings through his agency Mixed Bizness.

Hit Em' / Hit Em' Back
We've been topping up our studio tans again. This was initially gonna be part 1 & part 2 but they both just seemed to sit well on the same single. After working hard on the edits for L.E.S.S. it was good to make the switch to a straight-up house jam. Representing NYC and the bassline lovers.
This is out now and as usual, you can buy high quality MP3s from the Five20East store where your custom will be very much appreciated. :)

6th Borough Project
We've got two new L.E.S.S. Productions CD's out next week so here's a peak at a couple of tracks from the first (I'll post some more next week).
LESS005 is 6th Borough Project's "On The Rinse" editing some rare and not so rare funk, boogie, disco. 'Nights Over Memphis' is our deepest excursion for a while and is a small tribute to Martin Luther King's legacy (spookily this week is the 40th anniversary of his assassination - RIP). 'So Glad' is a slice of midtempo, beefed-up-boogie-business. Up for your pleasure for 14 days at 128kbps.

Bow Down To Donald Byrd
One thing we don't feature too much on this blog is hiphop, which is mighty strange as both us OOFT cats are always laying down some hippedy beats when we DJ. Anyways in keeping with posting up forgotten gems that get a regular airing round our way, check this (one of my favourite hiphop records ever) early nineties joint courtesy of Black Moon which samples the beautiful "Wind Parade" by Donald Byrd. Smooth.

Back To The Jack
Next up in the lost gems series of posts is this 80's acid house groover from Jack Frost aka Adonis. Clap Me is all about the groove, with basic drums flitting in and out of the seriously funky 303 pattern. Still sounds great 20 years after it was made.
