Hillside - For Daniel (Bosq Remix)

‘Eighty Three’, a sumptuous slab of slow-motion gorgeousness smothered in sun-splashed synth sounds and warming electric piano motifs, was one of the undoubted highlights of Mudd’s critically acclaimed sophomore solo album, In The Garden of Mindfulness. Now the track has been given a makeover by Conrad McDonnell, a long-time friend of the family and Claremont 56 contributor.

 

McDonnell is famous for his wild and effects-laden dub mixes, both as a solo remixer and alongside long-time musical partner Dan Tyler as the Idjut Boys. Together, they provided deliciously wayward and mind-altering takes of tracks from the Claremont 56 catalogue as part of the label’s 10th anniversary triple-CD compilation back in 2017.

Now McDonnell has gone solo to deliver an album of dubbed-out revisions of In The Garden of Mindfulness, a set that will land next year. To get us all in the mood, he’s laid down a trio if reworks of ‘Eighty Three’ in his distinctive style.

McDonnell first offers up the ‘Le Cidre Dub’, a slowly pulsating rendition in which lightly echoing and tape delay-laden guitar, synthesiser and Rhodes riffs drift across a throbbing electronic groove and low-tempo dub disco drums. The veteran DJ/producer has effectively given the track a more cosmic and spaced-out spin whilst retaining much of Mudd’s intricate and densely layered instrumentation.

Those seeking even wilder and more out-there acoustics are catered for by McDonnell’s two alternative dub takes. He successfully strips back the track to its most skeletal form on the ‘Uppity Dub’, bringing the sparsest of beats in and out of the mix whilst focusing on ambient synthesiser sounds, bubbly electronic patterns, echoing electric piano notes and Mudd’s squelchy and addictive bassline. His favoured effects are all audible in the mix but never dominate the sound space.

This celebrated side of McDonnell’s audio output comes to the fore on the EP-ending ‘Uppity Again Dub’, in which waves of trippy and picturesque electronics lap against a locked-in, delay-laden dub disco groove and flashes of reverb-heavy bass. It’s effectively a heady, mind-altering ambient dub interpretation of a sun-splashed Balearic treat. Like the other revisions on the EP, it offers a mouth-watering appetiser for the album of dubs still to come.

Duff Disco - Always On My Mind [DRAFT v1]

It's been quite a while since I've done something new. Or should I say, put out something new? Believe me, it was by design. The world's been kinda crazy lately, so music wasn't so much of a focus for me. But, then something comes along that gets you inspired again. This is one of them! 
https://soundcloud.com/robjamweb, (https://www.waxadisc.com) a great dance music producer and remixer, made this track about 3 years ago but I came across the stems only recently. Suddenly, I got into "cook mode"! 
Already a great track, I added some nice boogie elements to help make it groove. 
Enjoy this Underdog Edits exclusive!
And yes, there's more to come! 
Stay tuned.....

[SPA381] SUNNER SOUL - Don't Stop

There’s something timeless about Robot 84—something about the way Scott Ferguson distills sun-drenched nostalgia into dance-floor immediacy, where past and future collide in shimmering waves of rhythm and melody. With each installment of the much-lauded Promo series, he’s sculpted a space where house music and Balearic dreamscapes don’t just coexist but thrive together, expanding in all directions. Volume 5 continues that tradition, an exercise in refined, blissed-out euphoria, perfectly tuned for both sunrise reveries and deep-club pulses.



“Beats from the Far East” carries the weight of history, a successor to Volume 4’s “Dreams from the Far East,” and, like its predecessor, it operates on a different frequency-fluid, effortless, a low-slung rhythmic odyssey that speaks to the soul of Balearic music. A rolling trip-hop-style bassline underpins delicate flute phrases, pads unfurl like distant tides, and the whole track moves with a measured, intoxicating ease, never rushing, never overstating - just breathing.

PREMIERE: Robot84 - Beats From The Far East [Robot84]

Liftoff

“La Dolce Vita Z – Roman Nights” revives the timeless decadence of Fellini’s Rome, reimagined for nightlife. Blending lo-fi house, dream pop, and sensual R&B with cinematic orchestral textures, this album is a soundtrack to forbidden romance and luxury excess. From moonlit Vespa rides to champagne-fueled rooftop affairs, every track drips with erotic glamour and nocturnal seduction. A modern love letter to passion, chaos, and desire under the Roman moon.

BILL BREWSTER presents Electric Eighties
@billbrewster

"When disco crashed and the recording industry rejected dance music in the United States, the party didn’t stop, it just moved to a cheaper neighbourhood. The drummers mostly got laid off, the big recording studios started to close and the sound of disco changed completely. No more string sections, no big budgets. In its place came the sound that pre-dated house music: electronic disco (in Europe, a lot of it got another new name: Italo-disco). This mix is the sound of those records. All but two were made in north America, the others in the UK. It’s what happened when soul and disco met synthesisers and drum machines and it still sounds great today. Enjoy."
