For the next installment of Manc institution El Diablo’s Social Club’s ‘To Rack & Ruin’ edits series comes from local Manc lads Out of the Basement who bring us two late summer bombs.
These tracks have both been kicking around for over a year now in slightly different forms but now we bring them to you fully refined and suitably mastered heavily for the dancefloor.

Out of the Basement are Steve Leggat and James Ellis. Both have been involved in Manchester's colourful music scene - amongst other things Steve has been running legendary Beat Club with The Stone Roses Mani and James is the founder of Manchester's now defunct deep house label ‘Drenched’.

Side A is a splendid edit of lost soul classic with beats and instruments added for full effect. Side B is a sleazy slo mo cut up of the Brothers Johnson version of the Shuggie Otis anthem 'Strawberry Letter 23'.

300 ltd handstamped vinyl available from all good record stores late September.

This is the full length Luxxury club mix, you can hear the radio version on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MynCxEQ4DyI

Having been one of his biggest festival tunes in the summer of 2014, the Luxxury mix of Greg Wilson’s 'Summer Came My Way' - which originally surfaced on last year’s 'Schooled In The Classics' 12” - was put on the back burner throughout the winter in readiness for a full 2015 release. Juxtaposed by Walter Ego’s equally sublime take on the track, the release marks the first of eight records to be issued over the summer months.

Sometimes composition is a long and arduous process, other times a song arrives fully formed. The latter was the case for Greg when he imagined 'Summer Came My Way' as a vehicle for hitherto unknown vocal forces of nature, The Reynolds - twins Katherine and the song’s lead singer Carmel - who, by beautiful serendipity happened to live within a mile of Greg’s Merseyside home.

Bursting out of LA with a lavish twelve-part re-edit series last year, Luxxury’s brand of hazy, slo-mo reworks - a West Coast Balaeric fusion - has catapulted him onto the world stage. Opening his mammoth eight- hour Berghain set in 2013 with Luxxury’s 'Hotel California' rework, Greg helped bring his Los Angeles vibes to wider attention, bolstered by his subsequent support of other reworks; 'Night Fever' and 'Riders On The Storm'.

A victim of his own success, 'Hotel California' gained Luxxury a little too much notoriety and, after a Wall Street Journal interview began circulating, Warner came down on him like a ton of bricks on finding out he’d used The Eagles’ multitracks. All was resolved however and he’s currently recording his forthcoming album, with great things expected for 2015 and beyond. The Luxxury approach perfectly fitted Greg’s vision of the song and the result is a glorious nine-minute epic, just in time for the summer.

With releases on the legendary Ninja Tune, San Francisco’s murky Symbols and Kerri Chandler’s jackin’ MadTech, Walter Ego’s appeal stretches across the board; from forward thinking house to rough and ready grime. Having got to know the Sheffield musician during recent years, Greg was impressed by what he heard, especially an as yet unreleased project he was working on in collaboration with London singer, Obenewa. Inviting him to remix the track, Walter returned an ethereal yet mechanical take on 'Summer Came My Way', his delicately decaying synths and cold hydraulic rhythm giving the track a brooding quality and placing The Reynolds in an entirely new context.

Greg Wilson Featuring The Reynolds 'Summer Came My Way' - Luxxury Club Mix

Twilight Frequencies

A chunky nu-disco track with hints of Metro Area and a catchy vocal hook, the seeds of Elisco were planted in the early 2000’s when label founder JKriv and http://soundcloud.com/tigersonaleash were sharing a loft space in Williamsburg, Brooklyn.   After an afternoon of cowbells and synths, the skeleton of the track had its shape, and their other roomate’s girlfriend was enlisted to sing the hook.  She had no singing experience to speak of, but somehow it all worked and Elisco was born!  Although it’s always been a personal favorite of the producer duo, the song remained shelved for almost 7 years until they dusted it off in early 2011 and readied it for release on the newly minted Deep&Disco Recordings.

Providing remixes for the vinyl release are the legendary http://soundcloud.com/leftside-wobble, who turns in an extended and bpm’d-up version quite true to the original, taking the machine vibes to the next level with added loops and fx.  Brighton’s Alphabet City (http://soundcloud.com/blacklodge) brings the disco-boogie sensibility to the package with a deep mix that features JKriv on live bass, and Whiskey Disco regular http://soundcloud.com/sleazymcqueen rounds it out with an indie dance stomper.

Vinyl is out on October 17th 2011...pre-order from Juno Records now!

The digital release to come in November will also include a live guitar’n’bass-heavy mix from the one and only http://soundcloud.com/discomunga, and a balearic synth exposition from Germany’s nu disco kings http://soundcloud.com/spaceranger.
