Brian's Proper Dun One

Alan Fitzpatrick - Brian's Proper Dun One (Unreleased)

2016 was a standout year for Alan Fitzpatrick, with the Drumcode stalwart racing out of the gates in spectacular fashion with the release of his fabric 87 mix. A substantial amount of high profile shows followed, including appearing at the inaugural Junction 2 festival and closing the car park to a packed-to-the-rafters-crowd at Drumcode Halloween. He returns to Drumcode with ‘Brian’s Proper Dun One’, marking his first appearance on the label since late 2016 when he remixed Moby’s seminal ‘Porcelain’.

The release opens with ‘Brian’s Proper Dun One’, a track which caused a Twitter meltdown on Alan’s profile when he first started playing it at the tail end of 2016. Loaded with sharp and pounding drums, this is an ethereal experience from start to finish and packs a real punch. It’s a no holds barred, certified main room anthem. ‘Wait A Second’ feat. mc r1bbz has been a staple of Adam Beyer’s sets of late and has been getting a lot of air time on Drumcode Radio. This rave inspired track takes a raw, stripped back approach and delivers a real killer blow. Alan sampled the vocals of mc r1bbz from an LTJ Bukem tape pack from the early 90s and the record tips its cap to early jungle raves around the M25. The release closes with ‘Trance, Init?’; A homage to Alan’s days first and foremost as a raver before he became a DJ, with his non-purist attitude when it comes to electronic music shining through. The breakdown is sure to be a hands in the air moment at festivals all over the globe this summer.

Alan Fitzpatrick’s We Are The Brave brand has well and truly landed. Their debut sold-out club shows, held over one weekend at the end of March were preceded by three barmy house parties live broadcast from the homes of fans, and a host of well received singles have now come and gone, setting the tone for followers to expect the unexpected from the label with their self styled motto of We Do What We Want. 

It is then with a nonchalant shrug of the shoulders and poker face glare that We Are The Brave dish out their latest offering, ‘You Got Me’. As Fitzpatrick goes on to explain:

“Brave will always be the most natural home for my music, whether it be a familiar style to listeners or not. The whole point is that we are building an excitement around the music being released by not following a particular pattern or pandering to expectation. Hopefully I’ve made the point over the first three releases that We Are The Brave is about going with a flow and not letting preconceptions limit your experience, so its about time we released a good old Fitzpatrick rave banger, init!” 

Even the most fleeting of listens to the intro of thumping kick drums, precision crafted percussion and thunderous claps will give a strong clue that Fitzpatrick is back at the controls this time out. By the time the cut is in full throttle just after the two-minute mark then you can sense the knowing looks starting to shoot about the room as the familiar feeling grows. Luckily for anyone still unsure, all doubt is cast off at the half way point when the rave pads and breakbeats rip on from nowhere followed in hot pursuit by the "classic" Emmanuel Top "Play It Loud" you got me burning up vocal.

Some more recent converts to Alan Fitzpatrick may not be fully aware of the depth of his catalogues, never mind the 20+ years discography that Slam have behind them or indeed the history of remix collaboration between the two that goes back to 2010. However, despite the heavy dosing of hoovers and horns on their You Got Me rework, this Slam Track Series remix is all about the here and now as Glasgow’s techno kings turn in another example of the fine form they find themselves on right now.

After making his debut on the very first Prospekt EP two short years ago, we are proud to have Gary Burrows as part of the Respekt family, and to welcome him back for his fourth outing on the label.
'Something You Need' is classic Burrows, with a rave-inspired riff and bassline married to a classic vocal snippet and pummelling drums. Hungarian duo Steam Shape take on the mantle of remixing the beast, and do so with acidic aplomb.
Track two is another vocal led cut in the form of 'Keep On'. Slightly (but only slightly!) more laid back than the A-side, this one brings in lush pads to add another layer to the formula. The second remix comes courtesy of Luca De-Santo, who whizzes up the parts with some nasty saw riffs and sharp percussion.

Alan Fitzpatrick’s We Are The Brave imprint continues to blossom into one of the most prominent labels in the industry today, as the latest release sees the founder link up with Grammy Award Winning duo CamelPhat on a pair of massive techno tracks via the 'Kona' EP. Here Mixmag reveals the premiere of the EP's title track, a euphoric and anthemic peak-time techno cut packed with relentless energy. 

Alan Fitzpatrick had this to say on the new collaboration: “It’s always exciting for me to work with new artists and people that I think can bring a different take on things in the studio. As individual artists our styles are fairly different, and that always sparks some magic in the studio. This time round it was techno magic, in the form of 'Kona' and 'Liberation'"

The 'Kona' EP is set for release April 19.

Eli continues to establish himself as one of the UK’s most prolific producers and it’s easy to see why. With releases like his hit collaboration with Solardo ‘XTC’ currently hitting the dizzy heights of daytime Radio 1, and anthems like ‘Brazil’ (Repopulate Mars), ‘Inside My Head’ (Black Book) and ‘BS48’ (Big Beat) causing damage on the international club circuit, his talents have garnered key support from every corner of the dance music spectrum.

This release marks yet another pivotal moment in Eli Brown’s career as he steps into the darker / underground world of Alan Fitzpatrick. Add to this the widespread support from the likes of Carl Cox, Green Velvet, Fisher, Claude VonStroke, Solardo, Black Madonna, Denis Sulta, Calvin Harris, Annie Mac & more and it’s easy to see why everyone is talking about “Eli Brown.” 

The EP kicks off with title track ‘Come Together’. A concoction of solid 909 kicks and snappy percussion which come alive once the rolling bass fires off. Keyed melodics at the break take the track in a completely unexpected direction, bringing the listener to their knees.

Deeper but equally upbeat, ‘Thinking About You’ revels in a warm ‘90s glow with powerful rave stabs that drive the track forward. Pads and extra FX complete a clever ode to the UK Hardcore scene.

‘92 Thing’ opens into a deeply vibey groove-a-thon with “ecstasy” vocal shots for full effect! Tough drums and scattergun percussion keep things grounded into 2019, as the classic Juno pads send the old school crew into raptures.

Outside of the studio, Eli Brown embraces a busy tour schedule with a stacked summer of shows in Ibiza alongside performances for Bodyworks, ANTS, ABODE and Toolroom. The ‘Come Together’ EP falls around an eleven-date North American Tour, and marking just one of the countless trips across the pond for Eli Brown this year, it’s no wonder he’s earned a reputation as one of the hardest DJ’s in the scene.
