Late 2014 saw Leftroom drop Contexterrior and Tuning Spork’s main man Jay Haze’s new project ‘Finding Oriya’ alongside ESB, which picked up support from the likes of Dave DK, Breach, Mr.G and Massimiliano Pagliara. Here the imprint returns to the project and highlights one of its lead cuts whilst enlisting the services of old school house head Nail, and the ever on-point Cottam on remix duties.

First up is the Nail remix which takes a typically groove-led format bringing hooky bass stabs, bumpy rhythms and an amalgamation of swirling atmospherics and vocal murmurs into the limelight. Next up Nail delivers a second remix under his new Smoke guise, and this time strips back the original track into a swirling, seven and a half minute dubbed out interpretation with snaking stab echoes and robust sub lines running throughout.

Cottam takes the lead on the flip with his ‘Club Dub’ of ‘Refine To Deepness’, delivering his signature rugged dropped tempo house style with crunchy drum sounds, stuttering arpeggios and an infectious stab sequence. The original of ‘Refine To Deepness’ then shapes up the package, bringing Haze & ESB’s mesmerizing and hypnotic original number back into focus.

The resplendent vocal versatility of The Reynolds has been indispensable to Greg Wilson's Super Weird Substance label over the first four releases and, as such, they have duly been awarded their debut solo release, mixed by Greg and Peza. Although only young, The Seacombe-based twins perform like veterans and in this case they have masterfully taken on Bessie Banks' 'Don't You Worry Baby The Best Is Yet To Come' - a cult Blackpool Mecca classic from the mid-70s. 

By playing contemporary disco alongside 60's soul rarities the Mecca was at the centre of the famous Northern Soul schism which put the venue at odds with the music policy of Wigan Casino. Whilst the Casino is remembered as the more famous venue, it's arguable that - via its most influential DJ's Ian Levine and Colin Curtis - more classic tracks were unveiled in Blackpool than anywhere else. 

The Mecca operated during normal club hours, closing at 2am, whereas the Casino was an all-nighter from 2am-8am - subsequently a number of people would leave the Mecca around 1am to get to the Casino for opening. This led to the final hour at the Mecca becoming more experimental and compilation albums have been made focusing purely on records that became popular there during this timeframe - 'Don't You Worry Baby The Best Is Yet To Come' being one, a Colin Curtis special.

It's such an obscure track that - unless you were there in Blackpool in '76 - it's unlikely you'll have ever have heard of it, having never been issued in the UK. The original vocalist Bessie Banks is best-known for her early 60's hit 'Go Now!' - later covered by the Moody Blues, gifting them their breakthrough hit.

Written by Clyde Otis and Banks' husband of the time, Herman Kelly - legendary in hip hop circles for 'Let's Dance To The Drummer's Beat' - 'Don't You Worry Baby The Best Is Yet To Come' was released in 1976, two years before Kelly's heavily sampled break.

Lending his hand to the recording and mixing once again, Peza cements an ever-fruitful association with producer Greg Wilson, as the Wolverhampton-based DJ and musician takes on a international focus, working with Chen Shi-Zheng in Shanghai on a project opening in New York - on the back of a mutual association with Damon Albarn.

The Reynolds are currently recording further tracks with the intention of a debut album release in 2016. The diversity of sound and nuanced vocal ability of the twins first surfaced on last year's 'Blind Arcade Meets Super Weird Substance In The Morphogenetic Field' mixtape and has become a hallmark of the label since.

Kiu D & MKV - Funky People (Labor of Love dub)

HB017: Kiu D - Love Player EP feat MKV

Following recent excursions on Masterworks Music and Rebel Hearts, Kiu D returns to Hotbox Boogie, a label he's graced multiple times over the years. As usual, the four tracks on offer - three of which were co-produced by pal MKV - blend extensive samples from original disco and boogie records, with original musical elements. He begins with the clipped guitars, familiar vocal samples, and throbbing nu-disco synth bass of "Funky People", before delivering a breezier chunk of cheery disco-house in the shape of "Love Player". "Spank" puts a heavyweight disco rocket under the backside of Jimmy 'Bo' Horne classic "Spank", before the package is completed by the Bohannon-in-dub throb of "Funky People (Labour of Love Dub)".
