Originally submitted an earlier version of this 80s tinged indie remix for the Beatport / Grand Theft Auto competition... it was a bit rough around the edges... thanks to some feedback from Lea Porcelain themselves (thank guys!) I changed the vocal timing and now I quite like it - hope you do too - enjoy! x

Wow... what an absolutely incredible experience... first absolutely gorgeous sunset of the year, I started in a t-shirt!!! The 1st Anniversary of Music.je (thanks for the support MM!) was not without its trials and tribulations. Some way off the beaten track; a WWII gunsite on the South West corner of Portelet Common in beautiful Jersey, where the internet was poor but with some creative cabling and power solutions managed to get just enough to broadcast an epic sunset!!! Thanks to all who tuned in live or were one of the lucky few to witness it live... if you missed it, or fancy a re-listen, here is my set in full. Enjoy! x

Gus F - Secret Sunset 9 - Live from Portelet Common Gunsite

A broad range of music I've been loving recently from a longer-than-planned live stream session with @the-beat-laundry crew broadcast from my studio featuring several from Framewerk, Richie Blacker, BICEP, Luke Brancaccio, Monkey Safari, Natascha Polke and sneaked a few unreleased ones of my own in too :-)

Gus F - The Beat Laundry Sessions Vol. 10

An absolutely incredible evening at the foot of Mont Orgueil aka Gorey Castle in Gorey, Jersey. One of my favourite ever sets, the energy in the air was just magical, everybody was having such a great time; a really mixed crowd reflected in the range of music I ended up playing! I love the challenge of trying to engage everybody at an event like that, aged 16 to 60+... the first time I'd played after dark for a long time! When the fog rolled in it was still really warm, epic scenes as the floodlight from the pier reflected on Mother Nature's amazing smoke machine as seen in the cover pic (thank you Lorraine for the amazing photos!!). Just couldn't stop grinning from ear to ear! Big thanks to Jason & Nick for organising 🙏🙌. 

For the lucky ones who were there in person, thank you for coming and for all the great energy you brought; ended up playing a lot longer than planned because of you, hope you enjoy listening back! 

For everybody else, you really had to be there but you can listen back too - hope you enjoy it! 😊 x

Gus F - Live from Mont Orgueil

A return to the foot of 13th century castle Mont Orgueil in beautiful Jersey on a balmy August Thursday evening, this time for a Secret Sunset, with about 50 people turning up to enjoy a dance... recorded live from a minimal setup with interesting echoes & acoustics; far from ideal for mixing seamlessly -  I'll just leave it at that! An unprecedented 11 white label edits & remixes in this set to try & counter the FB algorithm police, but also to keep the mixed audience engaged & moving! Starting off nice & gentle in the daylight it was fun to get into some after dark music too... I was delighted with the feedback from my very own first release coming out on @strippedmusicmgmt on 9th September; a remix of @darkersound1's Through The Night 🥰 Thanks to all who watched the stream or came down!

Try not to abuse your power
I know we didn't choose to change
You might not wanna lose your power
But havin' it's so strange

She said you were a hero
You played the part
But you ruined her in a year
Don't act like it was hard
And you swear you didn't know (Didn't know)
No wonder why you didn't ask
She was sleepin' in your clothes (In your clothes)
But now she's got to get to class

How dare you?
And how could you?
Will you only feel bad when they find out?
If you could take it all back
Would you?

Try not to abuse your power
I know we didn't choose to change
You might not wanna lose your power
But havin' it's so strange

I thought that I was special
You made me feel
Like it was my fault, you were the devil
Lost your appeal
Does it keep you in control? (In control)
For you to keep her in a cage?
And you swear you didn't know (Didn't know)
You said you thought she was your age

How dare you?
And how could you?
Will you only feel bad if it turns out
That they kill your contract?
Would you?

Try not to abuse your power
I know we didn't choose to change
You might not wanna lose your power
But power isn't pain

When I started Secret Sunset in Summer 2020 I didn't have a specific plan, I was just loving making & playing music. One magical evening in June I convinced Georgi Mottram to join me singing Belfast live at the top of a WWII bunker at sunset - it was my musical highlight of 2020. 

As much as I personally love Georgi's incredible vocal, I had a few requests for a dub version.  Previously unreleased, here it is as a free download... enjoy! x

I was excited to close a stage at Full Circle festival back in August; knowing it would be fairly rowdy by that stage of the evening I knew I was going to have to play some fun bangers... made this one especially for it. Thanks for the wicked vocal Missy, love you long time! ❤️🙏🥰

Submitted to Mesh / Max Cooper as a challenge to remix of "A Model of Reality", September 2022. 

Really enjoyed working with a LOT of stems from the original, chopping up the vocals in a few ways (sorry Kotomi!), creating my own percussion sampling elements of Max's original, and adding some melodic layers. 

Hope you like it!

FREE DOWNLOAD: WHAM! - Everything She Wants (Gus F Remix)

I've always loved this song and the vocal; originally written for the movie "She's Having a Baby". The lyrics are about a couple going through childbirth and an unexpected emergency with the mother and unborn child in danger. The father is waiting for news of his wife and his baby's condition. 

I made this for playing at Nude Beach and various other events earlier this year, hope you like it! 

Big thanks as always to Philip West aka the Acapella Guru for once again working his magic on the vocal engineering, much appreciated mate! 🙏

My winning mix for Sasha LNOE x Traktor competition! Thank you Sasha, Last Night On Earth & TRAKTOR! ♥

The brief was "This mix needs to include an LNOE release as well as a 90’s dance track of your choice". A fun challenge! Decided to record a breaks set as I had been collecting a few recently, and didn't want a 90s track to stand out as being obviously old when listening to it. Obviously had to include one of my favourite tracks of all time from Essay - Archangel. So good I stalked him down and made him come to my party 🤣 Thank you Simon, still so beautiful ❤❤❤ I hope the music makes up for the dodgy pun and you enjoy listening as much as I enjoyed recording this 😁 x

Gus F - Secret Sunset 6 - Live From Petit Plemont

Wow... what an eventful Secret Sunset that was... lots of challenges...

Firstly the internet kept dropping from the first location... from my scouting mission the night before I knew that just up the road 50m was a bit better... luckily a quick test and it seemd to still be ok. Moved all the kit and started a bit late but better late than never!!!

Then the rain started, needed to borrow an umbrella (thank you 🙏🙏🙏) - which meant working one-handed... I thought if Black Coffee can do it, I'll give it a good go... decided to drop a BC remix in his honor (did anybody catch that? ) - pic in the comments of that period (thanks Lee - needed the support today!!! 👊)

Then the high tide nearly came and ended it early... meters away from us... we could feel the spray!!! Definitely needed the new SOUNDBOKS to drown out the wind & waves!!!

Finally... it was our old foe the Facebook algorithm police who shut us down just a minute before we were scheduled to end... can't be too upset with that!

Thanks to all who stuck with us and tuned in live! Follow on Facebook for the next one https://www.facebook.com/secretsunsetjsy

Now about the music... This is another piece that was created for Secret Sunset that I've loved playing around Jersey, creating magical experiences from iconic locations. Finally time to share it with the world! 

Thank you so much Georgi for listening to my crazy ideas and coming on this journey; not only recording an amazing vocal, but also climbing on top of a World War II bunker with me to sing this live at sunset with just a few days' notice... an epic life moment for me! 🥰🙏❤️

Full story of this remix follows, digital sleeve notes of sorts! 

Orbital's original Belfast is in my top 3 tunes of all time; absolutely love it, as do so many. A beautiful timeless gem. So why remix it at all, when it's so good already? I knew I risked upsetting a lot of fans of the original (including some of my mates who to summarise mostly said "you'd better not have butchered my favourite tune") - it's a big risk taking on an iconic tune; I'd have been happy to simply play the original, if it wasn't for two issues; 

1. It's SO recognisable that in a world where I was broadcasting Secret Sunset around the world on Facebook anything like Belfast is an almost instant takedown

2. The original tempo slows down at the end - so makes it harder to have a deep melodic house flow to a set. I can work around this, but as I was already thinking if I want to play it at all, I'll have to rework it a bit in order for it to not be a instant FB takedown - a ~120bpm track will be easier for me to mix in an unconventional environment (on a little Bose speaker with unfortunate sync/delay in it - mixing on headphones in the wind with no monitor, so less challenging transitions are preferable!) 😄

The first challenge when remixing is typically either needing stems or being able to accurately sample an original. 

As it happens, I didn't use any of the original for this, I recreated any bits that sound like the original. 

I couldn't get a clean sample of the original vocal either (the acapella is apparently available somewhere but all versions of the Emily Van Evera version of O Euchari In Leta Via I found all have an annoying new age backing track after the initial intro = unusable). 

I figured that there would likely be a singer locally in Jersey, perhaps out of work given the pandemic and up for a collaboration. As luck would have it, I found Georgi Mottram who is an amazing soprano, a Classical Brit Award nominee, and persuaded her initially to just lay down the vocal. 

However, I thought it would be a fun surprise for Georgi to turn up almost unannounced during a Secret Sunset & start singing 😄 I'd never done anything like this before; we had a basic sound check before; no additional sound engineer or pro setup, just me checking reverb levels & volume. It was a high risk & high reward situation streaming over 4G with a camper van battery & inverter keeping the lights on 😄Lots of fun for me at least... :-)

This mix uses more of a studio recording from Georgi; I've painstakingly normalised the typically high dynamic range in Georgi's recording (basically the variance in volume). Opera singing is typically overly dramatic vs the more subdued & relatively low dynamic range plainchaint that Hildegard von Bingen would have sung, and I'm finally happy with the result. 

So there you go - a long story about "my" version of Belfast.

Many thanks to John Dalagelis for mastering as always & input on this final version.

I wanna be alone
Alone with you, does that make sense?
I wanna steal your soul
And hide you in my treasure chest
I don't know what to do
To do with your kiss on my neck
I don't know what feels true
But this feels right, so stay a sec
Yeah, you feel right, so stay a sec

And let me crawl inside your veins
I'll build a wall, give you a ball and chain
It's not like me to be so mean, you're all I wanted
Just let me hold you
Like a hostage

Gold on your fingertips
Fingertips against my cheek
Gold leaf across your lips
Kiss me until I can't speak
Gold chain beneath your shirt
The shirt that you let me wear home
Gold's fake and real love hurts
But nothing hurts when I'm alone
When you're with me and we're alone

And let me crawl inside your veins
I'll build a wall, give you a ball and chain
It's not like me to be so mean, you're all I wanted
Just let me hold you
Hold you
Like a hostage
Like a hostage

Gus F is a musician, producer and DJ based on the beautiful island of Jersey. Gus won the global Sasha / Last Night On Earth DJing competition with a popular breaks mix just before the Covid pandemic sent the world into lockdown. He has been busy with productions, mixes and events since; dreaming up and broadcasting Secret Sunset to showcase new music at iconic locations around the beautiful island of Jersey and producing popular bootleg remixes from the likes of Kate Bush, London Grammar and Billie Eilish. Gus's first signed remix reached #1 on Beatport in the Electronica genre; a deep house version of Darkersound's "Through The Night" on Stripped Recordings. A number of other remixes were signed to Emotional Content and Music To Die For in late 2021. A massive remix of Bronski Beat's iconic Smalltown Boy was finally released in summer 2022 with Jimmy Somerville's blessing, almost 2 years and 1 million streams after a bootleg version was first aired at Secret Sunset.
