KeeQ - Denovo

Hooj Tunes! If you were around in the 90s and early 00s this record label will need no introduction; a pioneering imprint responsible for so many seminal dance records, they were hugely influential on us as young ravers and DJs. When we heard they were relaunching we were buzzing. We also knew we had the right record to send them… 

Back in 1992, Paul Van Dyk and Cosmic Baby released a few records under the name The Visions of Shiva. One track was Perfect Day, which we played often. A couple of years ago we decided to cover it, just for our own DJ sets really, but after seeing the reactions we thought it might see a release one day, if the right label came along. This year marks 30 years since the original was released on MFS, so it seems fitting that everything fell in place for Hooj to release our 30 Year Tribute version today. 

Solid DJ support on promo from DJs including Sasha, Job Jobse, Dam Swindle, Justin Robertson and Optimo, who said “30 years since Perfect Day came out?! Oh my! Was such a fave of mine back then. Ace and pleasingly faithful tribute."

It’s out now on a VA alongside new music from Jaydee and Nicole Moudaber, so check it out on Bandcamp, or wherever you buy your music >>>

Tiger Stripes - Sthlm Hustle

"Vince Watson is arguably one of a handful of European producers whose approach to techno matches the original ethos of the sound's Detroit pioneers. It's probably for this reason that Derrick May asked him to "remix and remodel" two timeless Rhythim Is Rhythim classics. Pleasingly, Watson's versions of 1991's "Icon" and "Kao-Tic Harmony" (the latter an early collaboration between May and Carl Craig) are both superb, getting just the right balance between respecting the original versions whilst bringing something new to the party. While the evocative, string-drenched version of "Icon" is superb, it is the fizzing, sci-fi fuelled melodiousness of Watson's "Kao-Tic Harmony" revision that really hits home hard. Naturally, both versions sound like breezy Motor City classics."
