Bristol disco pets Behling & Simpson﻿ heat it up for Exploited Rec﻿ boss Shir Khan's Black Jukebox series. All four tracks are built for rooftop parties with the deep V crew, from the filtered strings and soul swagger of 'Hurt Me More' to the swinging boogie pose of 'Don't Need U' with Shanti Celeste﻿, and over to the subbass-bugged R&B ace 'Linctus' and the fruity wiggle of 'String 01'.

You may well know Bristol's Behling & Simpson for their chunky, slow-mo releases on Futureboogie, 2020 Midnight Visions, Applepips and Outernational, or their underground edits of Faith Evans, Ciara and Julio Bashmore. And you may have heard their tunes in sets by people like Jackmaster, X-Press 2, Tensnake, Midland, Funk D'Void and Pete Tong, amongst others. For this 4 track EP on Berlin's Exploited Records, the duo continue their run of exquisitely produced, distinctive house music, retaining their unique sound whilst also embracing faster tempos than previously.

A1: Hurt Me More (123 bpm)

Already causing a buzz in label boss Shir Khan's DJ Sets in Ibiza and Barcelona, 'Hurt Me More' works with the classic house-music paradox of 'uplifting melancholy', as a euphoric disco loop is paired with a soulful vocal, deeper rhode chords and that unmistakeable Behling & Simpson drum work. 

A2: Don't Need U ft Shanti Celeste (113 bpm) 
 
Having first appeared on the lead track of their 2020 Midnight Visions EP ('Closer'), Behling & Simpson team up again with singer Shanti Celeste for one of their toughest beats to date. Deliciously warm subs and a tuff metallic percussion section work perfectly with Shanti's life-affirming vocal and classic house pianos. 

B1: Linctus (113 bpm)

Could you call it 'slow speed garage'? Bouncing 808 bass meets New Jack Swing vocals and New York brass stabs over a seriously grooved drum track.

B2: String O1 (118bpm)

Pumping compressed drums, analogue sub bass, filtered techno stabs and an improvised synth string line… Perfect for those eyes down, groove-led moments.

Cole Loves Your Insides Out

This is a little J&D reinterpretation of a stone cold classic by one of house music's founding fathers Larry Heard (aka Mr Fingers). In J&D's own words: "The original is sublime and cannot be improved, this rework is only a tribute to one of our heroes."

Mr Fingers - Can You Feel It (Jakobin & Domino Pump Up The Jam Rework) - Free download

**** DOWNLOADS BACK BY POPULAR DEMAND*********

Just a cheeky little remix of Busta Rhymes - Dangerous we knocked up for shits and giggles..

Mainly born out of a discussions as to why Remixers sped Hip Hop up rather than House down, so we thought we'd do just that.

Anyway, thought we'd chuck it up for free for anyone who wants it and to tide y'all over until the 3rd EP is released.

* this is a fully mastered 320.

Busta Rhymes - Dangerous (Project Tempo Remix)

Finally in store 18 months after I first produced it and part of an ace package of remixes that includes a number of other unreleased (or previously vinyl only) gems. Other highlights for me include both Greg Wilson's & Ewan Pearson's very different takes on 'Cocaine Blues', the two takes of 'Caméleon Chameleon', a stunning instrumental version of 'Forever' and Max Essa's great take on their first release 'Starlight'.

A quick thanks to both the Bionic crew & Dean 'Sunshine' Smith for inviting me play at wonderful events last weekend. Onwards now to this Friday where I'll be playing alongside NYC's Nancy Whang (DFA Records) - so looking forward to her twisted box of tricks! - http://d.pr/hVmy

Humpty Dump (The Reflex VIP Edit)

An ode to those classic Italo tracks of the mid eighties that were a precursor to the early Detroit/Chicago sound. This will finally get a release in mid July as part of the Sound & Vision EP (including my recent Bowie rework).

The sample spotters amongst you will recognise elements from Charlie's 'Spacer Woman' and a couple from Klien & MBO as well as the rather twisted Rick James vocal.
