Touching on punk territory as early as 1969, The Stooges’ 'I Wanna Be Your Dog' captured the beginnings of the transformation from the optimistic sixties to the disaffected seventies and laid the foundations for the next generation’s sound. Raw and simplistic, yet extremely powerful - it’s incredible to think that this song has been around for forty-six years.

The idea to bring the proto-punk classic into the now with a dance version - aimed at festival audiences as well as the clubs - was one of those crazy notions that somehow works out perfectly, given the right ingredients that is. Kermit was initially skeptical of the idea but once he heard the framework of the reimagined version, he quickly signed up to the idiosyncratic vision and took on the Iggy Pop role with aplomb.

This is the first solo release by Kermit Leveridge of Blind Arcade, one of Manchester’s true groove innovators; helping give the city - and the country for that matter - one of its first breakdancing crews, Broken Glass before becoming a member of one the UK’s most influential hip hop acts, the Ruthless Rap Assassins, then eventually hooking up with Happy Monday Shaun Ryder to form the chart topping Black Grape, who’ve recently reformed for an anniversary tour.

Kermit’s heroin addiction may have taken him to the brink of self- destruction but during recent years he’s been a redeemed man on an artistic mission. This newfound outlook helped yield last year’s mixtape 'Blind Arcade Meets Super Weird Substance In The Morphogenetic Field', regenerating his association with Greg Wilson, who had previously managed Broken Glass and the Rap Assassins, who he also produced.

On the back of a whole series of quality reworks, including Blind Arcade’s The Construct, Wolverhampton based DJ and musician Peza was brought into the mix and has done a great job with programming / keyboards, whilst Greg’s son, Ché Wilson plays a mean guitar, summoning the raw energy of punk’s past in a furious solo courtesy of a Cort X-6 guitar given to Kermit by Joe Strummer - and, by adding their deadpan backing vocals to the fray, The Reynolds tie the track together perfectly.

Bryan Ferry’s most recent musical odyssey came in the form of 2014’s critically acclaimed Avonmore album, now the LP gets some very special remix treatment by a connoisseur selection of disco artists from around the globe . The celebrated and tastemaking likes of Leo Zero, Ray Mang, Prins Thomas, Justin Robertson, Leftside Wobble, Idjut Boys, Man Power and many more all lend their well trained ears and serve up some sizzling new versions of the superb originals.
Bryan Ferry is one of the UK’s foremost singer songwriters, a pop artist and musician whose appeal has spanned five decades. With his elegant virtuoso performances as the front man of Roxy Music and his subsequent illustrious solo career Ferry has achieved numerous accolades and has been a great source of influence and inspiration for ensuing generations of musicians. As such, a project like this allows some of these established and rising talents the unique opportunity to add their own spin to Ferry’s singular style.
A broad palette of sounds, scenes and genres are traversed along the course of this absorbing collection. It kicks off in style with two different versions of ‘Loop Di Li’. Leo Zero’s take is sun-kissed and breezy, with trilling riffs and sweeping synths. UK disco don Ray Mang then offers a more pumping, groove driven effort that wraps Ferry’s unique vocals up in neo-Balearic cool.
Next up, the marvellous ‘Midnight Train’ is offered as a late night and romantic affair by Johnson Somerset, a cosmic chugger by Man Power and a characteristically left of centre house version by the inimitable Idjut Boys, famed for being remix kings.
Fans of dubbed out and slo-motion disco will love the brilliant Beard of Concern mix of ‘Soldier of Fortune,’ before five fascinating versions of ‘Driving Me Wild’ take in lush 80s nostalgia, swaggering dub, mechanical psychedelic disco, horizontal grooves and elastic kosmiche from Johnson Somerset, Leftside Wobble, Justin Roberton’s Deadstock 33s, Leo Zero and Ray Mang respectively.
The latter half of the album finds nu-disco pioneer Prins Thomas masterfully flip the title track into a broody affair with corrugated bass and tense, scintillating synth lines, whilst PBR Streetgang work ‘One Night Stand’ into a deep and synthetic disco bomb that will have dance-floors in raptures. Elsewhere Idjut Boys, Ray Mang, Leo Zero & Johnson Somerset offer more expert reworks. Hidden Orchestra layer grand instrumentals and sweeping strings into a dramatic and theatrical remix of ‘Send in the Clowns.’ Leftside Wobble then brings us back down to earth with an intoxicating brew of molten synths, woozy chords and smeared pads that sooth mind, body and soul. Finally ambient pioneer Ulrich Schnauss offers up a supreme adaptation of ‘Johnny & Mary’, Ferry’s timeless collaboration with Norwegian man of the mo- ment Todd Terje.
The rich source material here, along with the wealth of stars chosen to remix it, all make for another fascinating chapter in the life of one of the UK’s most cherished artists.
A selection of Avonmore Remixes are also available now on 2 limited bespoke 12” vinyls from The Vinyl Factory:

Giorgio Moroder - Einzelgänger (1975) - Aus (The End)

It's the tenth anniversary of my Nude Disco Mixtapes. Not quite the upfront nu-disco promo packed affair that they used to be in 2010, but more where I am at musically at this particular moment in time. When I feel disconnected from any of the current dance music genres,  I start digging back into what I consider the most inspirational decades; the 80s and 90s. Tunes I would have turned my nose up at the time, have now become little time capsules, that inject some positivity into my creative life. This mixtape is an hour longer than the usual offering, simply because I got lost down so many musical rabbit holes, discovering tracks that had to make the final edit. It's not that these mixes rack up millions of streams, far from it. But, the people that press play feedback to me, and that keeps me keeping on...

Big thanks to @foreignboy for the ace artwork.
