What a joy it is to listen to your rework!!! TOP!!!!

Teenage DJ aka Greg Wilson ‘Time And Place (Disco Break)’

124 bpm

Previously limited vinyl only 2005.

Another of the Acid sketches I put together in the years prior to my DJ return(more detailed lowdown here: http://soundcloud.com/gregwilson/teenage-dj-aka-greg-wilson-i), this time drawing on the groove from Oliver Cheatham’s 1983 release, ‘Get Down Saturday Night’.

My working title for it was ‘Twister’(Twist via Oliver) and, having immediately spotted its commercial possibilities, I resolved to develop it further . However, I left it on the backburner too long, my plan biting the dust good and proper when I realised that someone had well and truly beaten me to the punch - an Italo-Belgian DJ called Vito Lucente, who’d score a #1 hit in 2002 with the Room 5 single ‘Make Luv’, which also featured part of the original vocal to great effect. There was no point pursuing the ‘Twister’ idea now, so with a ‘such is life’ shrug of the shoulders I resigned it to the ‘what might have been’ file.

However, when I started deejaying again I realised the ‘Twister’ would come in handy, so I began to play it here and there. The Room 5 was too housed-up for me to consider using, not to mention the fact it had been played to death, but ‘Twister’ retained the early 80’s feel that fitted my vibe – it was a useful track to drop when you needed to give the dancefloor something familiar, but with your own twist. Subsequently, it was an obvious candidate for the ‘Teenage DJ Disco Best’ 12” EP I pressed up in 2005 – with ‘I Was A Teenage DJ Pt 1’ providing such a strong lead track, it could play an important subsidiary role, which is exactly what transpired. It was at this point it became 'Time And Place (Disco Break)', referencing some of the samples I'd dropped in.

I actually met Oliver Cheatham when ‘Get Down Saturday Night’ was released in the UK back in ’83. His record company, MCA, brought him to my night at Legend in Manchester, where he made a personal appearance, performing the single on the club’s dancefloor. Wigan Pier and Legend hosted numerous PA’s in the early 80’s, none of which we paid the acts for, their record companies footing the bill as part of their promotional budget, wanting to get their artists exposure in the most influential dance venues.Other PA’s included Gwen Guthrie, Imagination and David Joseph (it was a consequence of the David Joseph PA that I was invited to demonstrate mixing on the TV show ‘The Tube’:http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=77sjud0zLJY) .

Hot R.S was a disco-rock band from Johannesburg, South Africa, running from 1977-1980. They were actually a “phantom band” that was made up of only studio recordings. They had no live performances, and no photos of the band. The name Hot R. S. comes from the acronym House of the Rising Sun.

Teddy Pendergrass-Hot Love (G Prajekt Remix)

If ever there was someone who the phrase “How does he find time to make that?” was about, serial editor and remixer Pete Le Freq is it. His reworks have been played on BBC Radio 6 regularly by Craig Charles, and DJs the world over, and the sheer number of tracks he produces have caused people to suggest he doesn't sleep much.

Pete started producing over 12 years ago, and made a bit of noise with his house label Llama Farm Recordings. He's been remixed by Jay-J, Eric Kupper and Kenny Summit, appeared on compilations with Joey Negro and LCD Soundsystem, and played alongside  the likes of Crazy P, Inland Knights, CagedBaby and a few others. 

Since discovering the things he was sampling were better than the things he was making, Pete found that retouching and reworking the originals gave him his producing mojo back, and soon after Alpaca Edits was born. 

The York based edits label has since become home to disco superstars such as Dr Packer, Chuggin Edits, and Mannix. He’s been resident DJ at Sotano in York for the last 7 years, and this has fuelled his productions to greater heights. He’s known for playing 5 hour sets that incorporate both his new productions and others versions of serious disco action.

2019 has seen Pete get a vinyl release alongside the likes of Fingerman, Al Kent and Sleazy McQueen on Samosa Recordings, produce remixes for the likes of Hot Digits and Midnight Riot, as well as having 4 eps of his reworks on his own Alpaca Edits. He’s also debuted at Tramlines Festival in Sheffield, and made a return to rock the Toil Trees stage at Beatherder for the second year running. 

November saw him support Michael Gray and Fingerman at Distrikt in Leeds and Derek Kaye in York. The year ended with him beating the likes of Mousse T and Ray Mang in the Traxsource Nu-Disco Top 100 Artists of the year. 

Lockdown saw Pete go into rework overdrive, running a weekly Thursday night stream, as well as starting a regular show on Street Sounds Radio. He also worked with Ashley Slater of Freak Power on some original tracks.

2021 has seen the return of Pete’s That Needs An Edit nights in York, and will culminate in December with a guest slot from Shaka Loves You.
Roll on 2022!
