Loved this track for a while. for some reason the. longest version I could get my hands on....was 2 minutes long. So got a bit creative with the loops.

Masterworks Music certainly know how to make an entrance, kicking off their new "Bag Of Tricks" series with a star-studded cast of studio wizzards. The young label hand pick four of the best high-end sizzlers from a who's who of the nu-disco scene, providing any jock on the frontline with a whole lot of bang for their buck. First up, Spain's edit master Rayko takes a break from his Rare Wiri imprint to turn out a red hot electro-disco groover based on Chic's "Dance Dance Dance" - scorchio! Next up, Kiu D follows up his impressive release on Special Edition with the housed up heat of italo-funk freakout "New Year", a slick hit of synths and strings which will get everyone on the floor. On the flipside, 80's Child power dresses to impress with the shoulder-padded power-stomp of "Bangkok Nights", the perfect new wave sleazer complete with MASSIVE 80's snares. Last but not least, we bask in the soul-glow shimmer of the disco ball as Dr Packer leads the club into the erection section with synth-soul seducer "Too Much For Me To Take". C'est magnifique!

People who know me will not be surprised to hear that this has been sitting on my list of tracks to do for about 5 years. 
I finally got my act together to give it a go earlier this year previewing it at Mardi Gras in March. 
I ended up using elements from the Extended version, the Instrumental and the original single mix.....ah, but only if there was an acapella out there  as well....just a dream....

Philip Oakey & Giorgio Moroder - Together In Electric Dreams (Butch le Butch One Player Rework)

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!
