The Beard Science crew - an invite-only group of secretive scalpel fiends - first made their name with the excellent Razor Sharp Edits series of limited 12" singles. Here they venture into the digital domain for the first time with a typically eccentric selection of clandestine reworks for Australia's Superbreak imprint. Highlights are naturally plentiful, from the loose-limbed stoner funk of "Dance Moves (45 Badger Edit)" and glassy-eyed disco-soul of "Ready (Ceramic Condensed Re-Cut)", to the Clav-happy stomp of "We Got That Big Ghetto Vibe (Tokyo Editsu)" and dancefloor-beating funk breaks hustle of "Break It Down (Amiga Amigos Cut & Paste)". In short, a great selection of floor-friendly edits of obscure gems. What's not to like?

Lyrics :

Sex Machine 

[Verse]
Got a rhythm in my bones tonight
Electric pulses taking flight
Can’t stop moving
Can’t stay still
My body’s a rocket
Bending at will

[Chorus]
I’m a sex machine
Oh yes I am
Built to groove
No master plan
Turn me on
I’ll never cool
I’m a sex machine
Breaking every rule

[Verse 2]
Sweat’s dripping
I’m a blazing fuse
Every step’s got nothing to lose
Heart’s pounding
Beat’s in control
I’m a locomotive with a burning soul

[Bridge]
Push the button
Feel the heat
Crank it up
Can’t take a seat
Wheels are turning
Never rest
This machine’s built to be the best

[Chorus]
I’m a sex machine
Oh yes I am
Firing up like a battering ram
Turn me on
I’ll never cool
I’m a sex machine
Breaking every rule

Sex Machine

“The Ice Song” is about resilience. How to bounce back after a difficult situation. And it questions the depths of our strength as human beings. Is it possible to get back to our innate human nature a little bit again? Even with, or thanks to, all the conveniences and technology surrounding us?

Tropical Dutch music productions are often co-created with a film, and “The Ice Song” is no exception, as it's written for “THE ICE”, a VR short produced by Tropical Dutch Play and Production. For more info about "THE ICE" project, visit: https://www.lafp.nl/the-ice/

Funk Hunk - Heaven (Labor of Love dub) HB016

AND003
Side A: Arise (Sophie Lloyd Edit)
Side AA: Love Making Love 2 U (F.A.M.E. Edit)

Following the immediate success of the first two releases on A&R Edits, issued side by side back in May, comes the third instalment, a split 12” with transatlantic reworks served up by the UK’s Sophie Lloyd and the USA’s F.A.M.E. collective.

First up under the re-edit razor is Herb Alpert's 'Rise', a track that reached number one on the US chart upon its release in 1979, making Alpert the first (and only) artist to reach Billboard’s Hot 100 with a vocal ('This Guy's in Love with You', 1968) as well as an instrumental performance. ‘Rise’ was also famously played on import by DJ’s on the UK Jazz-Funk scene at 45rpm (rather than the correct speed, 33rpm). In 1997, the track found a new lease of life when sampled by Sean 'Puffy' Combs, becoming the instrumental bed for Notorious B.I.G.'s hip-hop classic, 'Hypnotise'. Now, 16 years on, London-based producer and DJ Sophie Lloyd breathes fresh life into this infectious groove, crafting a timely dubbed-out rework that's been a highlight of Greg Wilson's sets this summer.

On the flip, the Detroit collective F.A.M.E. don their disco guise for 'Love Making Love 2 U', an edit of the cult 1981 Boogie cut, ‘I Love Makin Love To You’ by Mel Sheppard, another choice tune for Wilson this festival season. The edit first came to his attention when he went to Detroit in June to play the Movement Festival Appreciation Party at the TV Lounge and, during the afternoon soundcheck, heard DJ Mike Petrack playing it. After enquiring, Mike gave Greg a copy, which he played that night to great response. It was also at this same event that he first played Sophie’s ‘Rise’ edit: Gregwilson – Movement-appreciation-party-tv

So both tracks, with their Detroit connection and raw-edge in common, seemed a solid combination for an A&R release.

AND003 is released on Monday 14th October on 180g vinyl.
