To celebrate the release of NICK PRIDE & THE PIMPTONES' album "Midnight Feast Of Jazz" and launch second single "Lay It On The Line feat. Zoe Gilby", RK recently partnered with Giant Step, Blues&Soul, Funku, InZona Mag, Soul Kombinat, Acid Jazz Hispano, Iyezine and Popcorner (Radio Rai 2) to put together a remix competition of "Lay It On the Line". Now, after 2 months of submissions and a truly remarkable amount of great remixes, the winner has finally been chosen! And it is......some suspense please.....a tie!!!! Both DJ/producer from San Diego Danny Massure with his latin-funk inspired remix and UK duo James Beige with their bossanova flavored version came out with top notch work we could not chose between. So now, exclusively via Digital Download here at the RK webshop, we proudly present the "Lay It On The Line EP", with the original album version (watch the VIDEO below!), alongside the 2 remixes. Congratulations to the winning producers and thanks to everyone that participated!

As musicians, DJ's, producers and before all else, fanatical music lovers, we have many strings to our bow. From performing live to DJ-ing, writing and recording our own material, mixing our own and other peoples' stuff, hunting through the record crates in Charity shops, doing street gigs, and always keeping an ear cocked for a new slant on a rare groove, music pretty much occupies most of our lives.
James Beige is the man we've named as figurehead of the original recordings produced in our own home studio that morph many styles and sounds into one. Latin, soul, bossa-nova, trip hop, samba, afro, breakbeat, cha-cha, exotica and gypsy all find a voice in the technicolor World of James Beige. As the latest album 'Crossanova' suggests... we're crossing over into any- and everything. No sound too far-out or too far-in.
