In light of the passing of the great luminary Gil Scott Heron, I have decided to give this one up to the world.   
This is my take on my favourite track from Gil's final album, I'm New Here( which is available to buy here:  http://www.amazon.co.uk/New-Here-Gil-Scott-Heron/dp/B002ZBT84G )
I made this rework as a companion to the original - which for me evoked classic blues, New Orleans flavours, voodoo and mortality.
A few shady characters have this track on their hard drives already, and I've been playing it out to great acclaim. 
I've made it available for download as a WAV so play with respect and love.


MA006 Gil Scott Heron - New York Is Killing Me (Modern Artifacts Space Blues Rework)

Afrikanz On Marz add their trippy vibes to this rare Studio One classic to create an afro/reggae/drone/psychedelic monster. It pulls you in and does not let you out. This is an essential rework for all the true heads out there.

MA004 - Addis Ababa (Afrikanz On Marz Kozmik Rework)

Flight is joined by Droned to make up the first release from the vinyl-only Modern Artifacts edits label.

In a market which is flooded with re-edits, these tracks stand out as complete and full reworks of the original tracks.

Flight is a rare orchestral disco track - with a feeling of an epic movie-soundtrack - from Martyn Ford, again given the Afrikanz On Marz treatment.

Droned & Flight will be released on limited edition 12" vinyl on 13th September 2010

Flight (Afrikanz On Marz Re-Edit)

Ashley gets low down and dirty with the southern rock giants The Black Crowes. Their 'I Ain't Hiding ' track was a real marmite moment for their fans. Ashley (being a fan) turns the Stonesy disco rock track (think Miss You) inside out to create a psychedelic dancefloor wig out. Already a big fave with the Horse Meat Disco crew this has been one of Mr Beedle's most requested edits/reworks over the last couple of years and he has decided to let this one out the vaults. It's a monster.

MA003 The Black Crowes - I Ain't Hiding (Heavy Disco Edit)

Running Up That Hill (Heavy Disco Edit)

Ashley Beedle and Yam Who? take the Annabel Lamb version of The Doors classic into dark, electronic territory. Originally issued in 1983, this sounds so now. One for those grimy basements and illegal jams.

MA005 - Riders On The Storm (YamBee! Rework)

Now for those heads who might think 'what's this version of The Whos leftfield disco classic?' take a deep breath.  Ashley dubs out and extends a private pressing cut from a unknown London band, which was recorded back in the early eighties. A fine compliment to the A-side. Keep on tripping!
