Let’s set the time machine back 20 years to 2002. New York’s Ursula 1000 (AKA Alex Gimeno), DJ/producer/multi-instrumentalist, started working on his sophomore album after the success of his debut, The Now Sound of Ursula 1000. His steady diet of ’90s lounge revivalism, UK big beat, German club pop, European library music, spy soundtracks, and Japanese Shibuya-Kei sharpened his skills in producing his own take on this melting pot of retro grooves and futuristic electronic beats.

This vision would be more fully realized for this new album. Ursula 1000 had an idea of a travelogue collection of songs, every track like a new stamp on a passport. For the opener, he originally had iconic model Verushka in mind for vocals. Locking her in became elusive and so he had a re-think. Swinging ’60s London. Groovy mod scenery. He needed a fun voice for this. Enter Rebecca Mader, who at the time was an up-and-coming model and actress, later to star in the hit series Lost and Once Upon a Time. A mutual friend connected them and she nailed the perfect cheeky, sex kitten delivery!

Inspired by the 1966 film Lord Love a Duck, featuring Tuesday Weld — where her character goes sweater shopping and runs through a laundry list of exotic color schemes — we riffed on that idea and made it our own kaleidoscopic palette. This song had it all: sitars, Hammond organ (performed beautifully by Brother Cleve of neo-lounge act Combustible Edison), big beat drums, and some acid house tweaks to make it into a nice retro/future cocktail.

Originally released on Thievery Corporation’s 18th Street Lounge label and now on Ursula 1000’s own Insect Queen Music imprint, this song would be called “Kinda Kinky” — as would the album on which it was featured. Ursula 1000 was able to score world-renowned contemporary artist Shag to design the cover in his distinctive space-age bachelor pad style.

For the 20th anniversary of the release of "Kinda Kinky," Ursula 1000 decided to revisit this classic cut and give it a re-rinse, adding some tasty flavors of today but keeping its original kitschy vibe. For the flip, we have the one and only breakbeat legend A.Skillz transforming “Kinda’ Kinky” into a funky, disco house groove monster. An unadulterated sonic delight!

Steve / Fort Knox Five (Fort Knox Recordings) – “Congrats on the anniversary! Seems like just yesterday when we were just foolish young DJs making the scene. Love the repackage and updated mix and the A.Skillz remix is a surprise bonus. Top notch today like it was top notch back in the day! Need this 45 for the collection to be complete.”  
Soul of Man (Finger Lickin’ Records) – “Great release and A.Skillz puts a rocket up it too!”  
Tal M. Klein (Aniligital Music) – “A great remix of one of my favorite Ursula 1000 staples. I like the A.Skillz sendup as well!”  
Quincy Jointz (Timewarp Music Radio Show) – “I like the new mixes of this big classic.”  
Bruno From Ibiza (Ibiza Global Radio) – “Ursula’s remix is amazing.”  
Jon Fugler (XLNT radio show) – “100% smiles guaranteed - sometimes it’s easy to forget dance music should be fun - outstanding remix and with the dubs you are really just spoiling us.”

Kinda' Kinky (20th Anniversary Remix)

Ursula 1000 - Kinda' Kinky (20th Anniversary Remix) [Insect Queen Music]

The story behind the track goes something like this. For some time I have wanted to produce a track that features the vocals of Diane Charlemagne. She is more well known for her incredible vocals on many of Moby’s tracks and of course – Inner City Life by Goldie as well as providing vocals for numerous Drum and Bass tracks in the early 00’s. 
I met Diane way back in 1999 when I was studying for my degree in music in Bath. She had come down to lead a vocal workshop. At the time I was working in a club in my hometown in Salisbury – my boyfriend and 2 of his friends had rented a building and were trying to make the impossible possible in our quiet medieval city of Salisbury and create events that focussed on the UK Garage, Drum & Bass, House and Breakbeat scenes that we all loved. It was a risk in a small city such as Salisbury, but we were all passionate and determined to try and make it a success. 
I spoke to Diane about the club after the vocal workshop and she offered to come down from London one night with some friends and support it. I didn’t think for one minute she would actually come – but she stayed true to her word and came a few weeks later.
Very sadly, she passed away from Cancer in 2015 at the age of 51 and for a few years I have wanted to produce a track that pays tribute to her. I searched for an accapella and found one that inspired me to make this track. 
I have used the vocals of ‘Why’ by Carly Simon sung by Diane and produced a track that is entirely different from the original song, but hopefully keeping the melancholic, soulful and balearic feel that the original had. 
She was a truly wonderful, down to earth and supportive person who was taken far too young and I hope I’ve done her justice with this production.

Info:
After the wide ranging acclaim and success of their single, Shaka Loves You return with their much anticipated four track EP. The Glasgow duo have delivered on their promise big time here! Kicking off with 'So Funky' which explodes into action like a funk bomb and features the legendary turntablist JFB! Next comes title track 'Boogie' which includes the super smooth vocals of Fullee Love (AKA Soup from Jurassic 5) and has already had the Craig Charles (BBC Radio) seal of approval for its infectious groove. Ant Thomas delivers a masterclass in refined and exquisite delivery on 'Flipping Ya Mind' which marches on continuously driven by plucked bass and an almighty horn section. Finally 'Livin for Tonight' sees NattySpeaks and Profit flowing powerfully over super tight production and a vocal hook that will be with you long after the track has finished. An outstanding Ep and just a start of things to come!
