Ali from OOFT provides this months mix. Recorded live at Glasgow’s Tronicsole party late last year, the mix includes exclusive OOFT remixes and edits, as well as some other gems.

Check out the dope L.E.S.S. Productions compilation which collects the hard-to-find disco and funk edits from the OOFT lads (Ali and The Revenge). Also, for anyone who’s gonna be in Miami for WMC, The Revenge will be playing at Harvey’s Sarcastic Disco and the Om party.

The Tube - A Night In NYC

Tuesday, July 28th, 2009 | Vision | 2 Comments

More vintage footage from The Tube - this time Leslie Ash and Jools Holland check out New York’s nightlife. It’s quite apparent how different NY is these days compared to the 1980’s. A small slice of NY culture including interviews with Arthur Baker, The Peech Boys and footage from The Roxy and The Paradise Garage. Oh, and why would you let Leslie Ash anywhere near your records?

BBE Business

Tuesday, June 16th, 2009 | Sounds | 4 Comments

BBE have been on form in recent months with some great releases. First up is Night Dubbin‘ - a fine collection of disco, boogie and proto house, compiled by Dimitri from Paris (and with one of the discs mixed by The Idjut Boys). The compilation focuses on dubbed-out (re)mixes from the likes of Francois Kevorkian, Larry Levan, Paul Simpson and Shep Pettibone. The Idjut Boys do a great job on the mix cd but the reason to own this compilation is the 21 unmixed songs - all of them complete gems. Given that the original 12″ versions of many of the tracks collected here are quite sought after, this compilation is essential for anyone that has even a passing interest in disco and the roots of house. Included in the liner notes are interviews with Francois Kevorkian, Paul Simpson and John Morales, who give the back-story and explain their techniques used in creating the dub mix.
