NEW MUSIC! ‘My Life At 45 - Part 2′ is out now in all formats, with a vinyl run selling fast (the Limited Edition Bandcamp version sold out in a few days) so don’t delay if you want some wax!

Joining me on the A-Side is saxophonist and all-round musical genius Ben Castle, bringing ‘Canvas Cathedral’ to life with tumbling solos and 90s hip hop style loops, whilst the B-Side sees soul star Izo FitzRoy follow up our work together on her debut LP ‘Skyline’ with another killer low-slung funk cut ‘A Little Blahzay’.

From The Collection - Remix Interlude #1

Whilst sorting out tunes for the next part of the riveting ‘From The Collection’ autobiographical odyssey that you’re avidly following here, I stumbled across this curio from the Rubberfunk Remix Archives.

I’d done a few remixes before this, some ‘on spec’, and at least one commissioned mix, but this was the first one to make it to vinyl. In fact, it was the first thing I’d had released on a ‘proper’ label - pre-dating ‘Harry The Guitar’ on Southern Fried Records by a good couple of months.

The Space Channel 5™ ‘Mexican Flyer’ 12″ is a proper oddity - a piece of 60′s big band library music, originally recorded by Ken Woodman and his Piccadilly Brass, with additional production then added by Dan The Automator, to be featured in a Sega Dreamcast game about a dancing space reporter from the future, and then remixed by me for the Silver Label imprint that Tommy Boy had just set up to release everything they liked that wasn’t hip hop. Needless to say, I was VERY excited to see my name next to Dan’s on the artwork. Tommy Boy and Dan The Automator?? Big-time fanboy business for me right there.

Props to Stuart Winterton and Glen Newsam at Tommy Boy for going out on a limb with an unknown producer. And paying me.

Check out the reply card - that ‘fix stamp here’ box was like a QR code for analogue emails back in 2000...

I didn’t ever get a Sega Dreamcast, or even a copy of the game, but the whole project was an interesting first excursion into the world of video game music tie-ins, more of which in a later post!

Here’s a newly released remix from me, tackling the massed horns of Sheffield’s Renegade Brass Band with a whole bunch of drums and a razor blade. It’s available to buy as part of their new album RBB : Rhymes, Beats & Brass (Remixed)
