Remixes EP

Sutja Gutierrez - I'm Diggin' (Thomass Jackson Remix)

Here's another one of my personal edits that I've never planned on releasing in the Underdog vinyl series. I must admit that I have a thing for soulful gospel. And nothing says soulful gospel like The Mighty Clouds of Joy. A career that spans over 50 years, they have always pushed the boundaries between gospel & popular music with timeless singing and solid grooves. Though I've done quite a few Mighty Clouds re-edits (Time is available on Underdog Edits Vol. 13), this one is one of my favorites. 
Taken off of the Kickin' album, this track was produced by the late great Dave Crawford, with a little help from Philly Soul legends Earl Young (drums) and the late Larry Washington (congas). Some slight extensions and an inspiration vocal from an unknown "deep" brotha', this one will have you boogying down the aisles come Sunday morning! 
Enjoy this exclusive edit!

The Mighty Clouds of Joy - Everything Is Love (Underdog Edit)

Eddy Grant   Time Warp

Nightlife Unlimited - Peaches & Prunes (Ron Hardy Edit)

Jorge Santana - Darling I Love You (Underdog Edits)

The parts for this were acquired for DJHistory's remix competition but this mix wasn't entered. Instead it's become a bit of a favourite DJ number. Won't ever be released.

Odyssey "Inside Out" (Al Kent Classic Mix)

Running Up That Hill (Heavy Disco Edit)

Now for those heads who might think 'what's this version of The Whos leftfield disco classic?' take a deep breath.  Ashley dubs out and extends a private pressing cut from a unknown London band, which was recorded back in the early eighties. A fine compliment to the A-side. Keep on tripping! 

MA005 - Eminence Front (A Heavy Disco Joint)

Track two Christmas gift ,, for all my friends and supporters..

this is the unedited full version .. get it while you can 

this is for M+M 5 and may change prior to time of release

Janice McLaine - Smack Dab In The Middle M+M Mix

This is one of my personal edits that I've never planned on releasing in the Underdog series. An previously unreleased joint by Ms. Ross, it kinda grew on me the first few times I heard it. Since it wasn't a very disco friendly song, I gave it some slight extensions and a touch of dub, too. I hope that I made it a bit more tastier. 
Enjoy this exclusive edit!!!!

Diana Ross - Sweet Summertime Lovin' (Underdog Edit)

Here's another one of my personal edits that I've never planned on releasing in the Underdog vinyl series. In fact, I released it some time ago as an exclusive download on the great blog site, Dilated Choonz (http://dilate.choonz.com). This being one of my favorite cuts, growing up in clublife in Chicago, I wanted to give it a slight twist. As my man from Dilated Choonz, Kevvy K said, "Leonard has wisely treated this with a great deal of respect and chosen not to take away from the original production.. instead drawing it out to make it even more haunting and hypnotic." Couldn't have said it any better!

Timmy Thomas - Why Can't We Live Together (Underdog Rework)

Here's another one of my personal edits that I've never planned on releasing in the Underdog vinyl series. Kool And The Gang's Open Sesame is an unadulterated disco classic. So why do an re-edit of it, you may ask? I, actually, did it on a dare. DJ Wayne Williams of the legendary DJ collective, The Chosen Few (http://www.chosenfewdjs.com) asked me to do a re-edit set of songs that he selected, for him to debut at their now-famous House Music Festival. To be honest, I wasn't too crazy about the choices, including this one. I loved the song as it was, but he dared me to do a edit of it. So, after a more focused listening, I noticed that even though there was a 12'' version of the song, the mix wasn't that DJ friendly. And sometimes with edits, you add your own vision of the song. So, I gave it a more dubby intro and a new drum outro. I think it didn't turn out too bad! Well, you be the judge!

Brian Eno & David Byrne - Regiment ( La Décadanse Edit ) COV-EDIT01

Here's another one of my personal edits that I've never planned on releasing in the Underdog vinyl series. When you think of the 80's and Jazz-Funk, Tom Browne is for sure one name that comes to mind. From dancefloor classics like Funkin' For Jamaica (N.Y.) and Thighs High (Grip Your Hips And Move) to slow-jam standards like Midnight Interlude, he raised the bar for the R&B/Jazz hybrid that now a part of black music.
This cut, from the underrated album Rockin' Radio, was one of those joints that, I thought, could have stand alongside his other classics, if given the proper opportunity.
Plus, it was a stone groove, man! So, an edit was in order!
With the great Carol Woods on vocals, enjoy this exclusive edit!

Tom Browne - Brighter Tomorrow (Underdog Edit)

As a tribute to my good friend, Dimitri From Paris (dfp), here's something that few have heard in its entirety and many would like! A few years ago, I gave a copy of this great cut from disco legends Gary's Gang to Dim (Dim &amp; I have been trading music with each other for many years). Little that I knew that he would like the edit so much, that he featured it on his great mix compilation, Return To The Playboy Mansion. To say that it was an honor to have my edit on the compilation was an understatement! There was some talk about releasing the edit, but it never materialized.
And at that time, the great Danny Krivit had released his edit of the song. So, alone it sat in the Underdog Edit archives, hoping one day it will be heard. Well, today's the day! Enjoy!
And to Dim, thank you for all the great music over the years and the great friendship that I will always cherish. Bonne Journée!

Helen - WITCH (Hysteric edit)

The Hivern split series was born as a platform for club-ready tracks that don’t require a broader sonic context to express themselves. It’s also as a way of generating an unplanned dialogue between artists in the label’s orbit, connecting the dots amid them in spontaneous and almost unconscious ways. The third instalment of the series brings together Beesmunt Soundsystem and Cooper Saver. Their two tracks share a similar approach, deconstructing ethereal sounds over dark rhythmic foundations to reach the same kind of narcotic transcendence. The visual concept of the series has been developed by London-based design studio DR.ME
