It's My Life

"We're On It" single from the MAN RAY - summer 88 - EP

Band Members:
Peter Hook 
Phil Murphy

Man Ray - summer 88 - EP, Peter Hook and producer Phil Murphy creating acid house tracks evoking the style & euphoria felt during that epic “Summer of Love” at The Haçienda nightclub. Revisiting the staple sounds of the period with a modern twist, the duo used analogue technology to recreate precisely the sounds belting through the summer of ’88. A mixture of classic Roland synths & drum machines were employed to simulate the early acid house vibes with samples only being used for sound effects, making both tracks feel naturally timeless.

“We’re On It” presents itself as a twisting laid back groove, permeated with references to early Detroit & Chicago house music and the classic elements of the lighter side of acid. Hook recalls his memories of the era spoken word style, as the track bobs & weaves and breaks up & down with a pulsating bassline, elegant synths & a cooly defined grace.

MAN RAY - "We're On It"

!!DJ Fast Eddie, Kenny 'Jammin' Jason - Can U Dance (Hatiras Remix)

Apologies for my SoundCloud silence of late; a combination of increased workload and and other general complications has kept me away from any studio projects for the last 12 weeks or so, but hopefully things are back on track.

This edit is a very late submission to the DJ History Trax re-edit/remix project (many thanks to Mr Brewster for his patience). It was Jamie Principles first release back in 1985 on Persona records which saw a re-release on Trax in 2000. It's a simple slice and dice affair, no overdubs or such like but hopefully an apt take on the arrangement for current dancefloors.

Also of note, the Pocket Angel/Find A Way 12"  was finally released a week or so ago (on Autodiscoteque) and has been getting support from the likes of Ashley Beedle, Laurent Garnier, Horse Meat Disco, Popular Peoples Front, Pete Herbert, Red Rack’em, OOFT, Downtown Party Network, Marius Vaareid. So if you haven't picked it up yet it's available at these fine record stores amongst others:

Hercules And Love Affair - Release Me (DJ-Kicks)

I wrote this song with my friend DJ Whitney Fierce. She is a great dj, and very knowledgable about dance music from many cultures. She also rocks food coloring for hair dye, which makes her very tasty in my book because it makes me think of Mink Stole, a great actress from Baltimore in some of John Water's films. This song lies somewhere between Stock Aitken and Waterman and Manchester's Hacienda sound, while Whitney sounds very Bananarama on it. Mark Pistel busted out his E- Max on this recording with some original samples he compiled in 91, so that made us all dance in the studio. - Andy Butler
