The Bassheads ‘Is There Anybody Out There?’ (greg wilson edit)

124 bpm

Never previously shared.

‘Is There Anybody Out There?’ was one of the all-time Rave classics. It was particularly interesting for me to witness its runaway success given that I knew its creators, Desa and Nick Murphy, who lived on the Wirral. Desa used to come to some of the local clubs I deejayed at as far back as 1977, before he started out as a club DJ himself (he remembered me switching between the Harold Melvin & The Bluenotes and Thelma Houston versions of ‘Don’t Leave Me This Way’ at the Golden Guinea in New Brighton), whilst I’d done some recording with Nick, who had a home studio, a few years before The Bassheads formed.

The name, The Bassheads, had come from The Bassment, a night Desa started in Birkenhead in 1988 (in a room where I’d deejayed myself 12 years previous, when the club opened as The Deerstalker). Initially pressing up their own white labels, The Bassheads blew up big time with ‘Is There Anybody Out There?’ – exactly the right tune at the right time. They worked on the track with Shaun Imre, who I also knew from my time living in London during the late 80’s, which took its title from the Pink Floyd recording it sampled, whilst other well-known acts sampled included Talking Heads, The Osmonds and Afrika Bambaataa. Having seen me use mine, Desa bought himself a Revox B77 reel-to-reel, utilizing it in fine style to help bring his ideas to life (as fate would have it, I bought this very machine from Desa a few years back, and it’s one of two I currently rotate for my DJ appearances).

Having been huge on white label during 1991, DeConstruction Records signed 'Is There Anybody Out There?' up and scored a top 5 hit before the end of the year. Prior to issuing the single they had to remove the Floyd sample though, and although the overall track still sounded brilliant and was now somewhat cleaner (Bam was still there, and the other key samples had been replayed to great effect), it was a shame the Floyd was missing for all those who knew the original.

Moving forward to 2009 and I thought it’d be the perfect track to kick off with at the Big Chill Festival, opening up with the atmospheric Floyd ambience. I dug around for the white label 12”, but couldn’t find it, so I got in touch with Desa to ask if he could burn me off a copy. His turntable was broken, so he was unable to do this in time, so he sent me a wav of the DeCon mix instead. I decided to see if I could re-create the original intro myself, so I pulled out my CD of ‘The Wall’ and set about reconstructing the beginning of the DeConstruction version. However, unlike the original, I also added the acoustic guitar section, which provides a great mellow prelude before the in-your-face ‘Crazy Horses’ guitar enters. Suffice to say that it worked a treat at the Big Chill and brought the house down.

I subsequently went back to it and did some further tinkering, most notably extending the aforementioned acoustic guitar section, whilst doubling the length of the euphoric piano breakdown, and building the tension before Bambaataa’s rap to add extra impact.

This year marks the 20th anniversary of this bona fide dancefloor anthem, so it presents the perfect moment to make this edit public as we move deeper into the summer months, whilst acknowledging how Desa, Nick and Shaun stamped their indelible mark on Rave culture.

About =>
Italian trio Re-Tide get their disco-loving mitts on Todd Terry’s Keep On Jumping. The result? An essential reworking of one of the greatest house records ever made. 

Featuring live additional vocals, life-affirming keys and live instrumentation galore, Re-Tide’s disco remix is a joyous ode to both classic 70s disco and Terry’s masterful original, with Wash and Brown’s vocals sounding more glorious than ever before.  

For music lovers with even a passing interest in the origins of house as we know it today, neither Todd Terry nor his seminal record Keep On Jumping should need much introduction. Keep On Jumpin’ was Todd’s first release on Mercury Records and featured a vocal workout from super-divas Martha Wash and Jocelyn Brown, brought together for the very first time. The rest is history: the song became a top 10 UK crossover pop hit, worldwide smash and is still dropped on club dancefloors around the world to this day. 

When a track is still being remixed more than 20 years after its original release, it’s a sure bet that it’s made a sizeable impact on the scene. Often it’s all too easy to do a quick, cheap remix of a timeless classic: something that does no favours to either the original record or the artists involved. In Re-Tide’s case however, you can put any such fears to bed.

Formed almost a decade ago in 2009, Re-Tide are Italian producers and DJs Patrizio Mattei, Danny Omich and Andrea Prezioso. Melding their love of the underground music scene of the 70’s and 80’s the trio infuses elements of disco, funk, and soul with a definitively modern house mantra that has resulted in them establishing themselves as one of the top house, nu-disco, and indie dance artists in the world. 

In their native Italy, Re-Tide are approaching household name status. Patrizio and Danny are presenters and DJs on m2o based in Rome with 1.5 million listeners daily and host WAVES every Saturday at 7PM, and Andrea is a presenter, DJ, and programmer for Radio Capital with 1.7 million daily listeners. The trio, under Re-Tide, also host, produce, and DJ one of the most popular on air shows on Radio Capital “Capital Party Nu-Disco” every Saturday night at 11PM where they showcase a unique blend of disco, funk, Philly soul, and rare groove of the 70's all the way to upfront nu-disco and house.

In other words, thee guys know what they’re doing; a fact that becomes only too clear on experiencing their magnificent reimagining of Keep On Jumping.
