Where did the time go?

199 releases and 10 years after label owner Tomcraft released the label-founding anthem Great Stuff with Eniac, Great Stuff Recordings proudly presents its 200th release. One of Resident Advisor&#8217;s Top 20 Most Charted Labels of all time, they&#8217;ve had countless underground and overground successes alike, blending the two sides of the commercial coin in a way few others have managed for such a duration.

Harking back to a funkier time in house music, its hard-grooving bassline and chunky beats provide the perfect counterweight to its euphoric melodies. Those Depeche Mode-esque, trance-tinged breakdown chords pointed a finger to the future of stadium-sized house, while gliding orchestral and sampled strings alike added yet more class. Epic &#8216;80s rock style guitars completed the package, all woven into nine minutes of electronic epicness. Remastered in all its glory here, it&#8217;s sounding fresher than ever.

Three killer remixes bring this 2002 classic up to date. D-Nox &amp; Beckers keep things simple and respectful, with delicate synth arpeggios and the original&#8217;s glorious strings paired with a warm bassline and consistent rhythmic energy. Alex Kenji &amp; NKDj up the bounce factor with offbeat stabs doing battle with those string blasts and seriously pumping beats, while all manner of huge FX and builds bring the track up to fever pitch. Prince Club round off with a more demure effort, skippy classic house beats and rugged low-slung bass building a dark atmosphere around the sampled strings. All three remixes bring something different to this classic and make this milestone package an unmissable piece of house music history.

Look out for another two special celebratory releases, coming soon.

Here&#8217;s to the next 200!

Fedde le Grand & Funkerman - 3 Minutes to Explain

Jason Herd (aka Juan Kidd) is no stranger to House Music.  He has gained worldwide acclaim with numerous releases on Defected, Subliminal, Circus and Toolroom alongside a whole string of soulful and underground labels. 
With his feet firmly rooted in the Manchester soulful and vocal house scene he’s the first to say it was hard whilst the next generation of clubber delved straight into the underground or “EDM scene. “I had to keep making Soulful, vocal and piano house even though I wasn’t releasing it”.
This is the reason for releasing and re-mastering those tracks in his “From The Vault” series on his label Weirdo Recordings. Going over these tracks re inspired him to just make the music he loves for himself and there is a whole new set of soulful and piano tracks coming this year.
“I went back to my roots and hooked up with Andy Hickey who has done a lot of my keys over the years and did some of the tracks with him so they have the original magic from my early soulful house days. I’m not trying to get signed to any labels just finish a record I know I would like to dance to. My reasons for making house music have returned to the original ones that got me here and that is for the love, not the money or the gigs”.
“I’ve had a Beatport No1 for weeks with Juan Kidd & Felix Baumgartner “Now Your Gone” on Defected, a global hit with Herd & Fitz Feat Abigail Bailey “I Just Can’t Get Enough” on the mighty Subliminal alongside many more records that stand the test of time, all these were made from the love of that music, not trying to get gigs or pay the bills. This is why I am going back to my roots and put some of what I call the magic back in my music.”
He has DJ’d at the world’s finest clubs and festivals including Global Gathering, Creamfields, Space Ibiza, Pacha Ibiza, Amnesia Ibiza, Stereosonic Festivals Australia, One Love Australia, Redlight Paris, Space, Toolroom Knights and Pacha Brazil and many others. He was famous for his warm up sets back in the day for the like of David Morales, Frankie Knuckles, Erick Morillo and Joey Negro to name a few and to this day believes it should always be a journey which is why you will hear soulful to uplifting piano releases from him which represent the journey from the beginning to the end of the night.
Jason adapts his sets to the crowds but expect lots of his own personal edits, loops, mash ups, Acapella’s and fx, but most of all expect a set full of energy, soul and hands in the air.
