Glasgow Underground kicks off 2014 with one of its most supported records to date. We've been a fan of Motor City Drum Ensemble since the brooding and eerie "Escape To Nowhere" in 2007 - a track that sounded like someone had listened to "French Kiss" on acid and then tried to recreate what they heard. So when we started re-issuing Romanthony's classics with fresh remixes, MCDE's Danilo Plessow was always someone we wanted to on the project. It has taken 2 years to organise this mix and now it is finally here it doesn't disappoint. Taking on "Trust", most people would head straight for the vocal but Plessow instead eschews that idea for a warm, low slung dub mix reminiscent of Muzique Tropique and early Glasgow Underground releases by Studio Blue. 

There aren't make producers that manage to combine forward-thinking production and interesting musical concepts with a reputation for igniting even the coldest of dancefloors. Audiojack are one of the rare breed of producers that can do just that. Before this release the most DJ-friendly version of this song was Roman's 1995 kick-heavy vocal-loopy "Ghost Mix". Here Audiojack deliver the kind of rhythm-driven, detroit-influenced house workout that should usurp the "Ghost Mix" as the go-too choice for maximum dance-floor love.

This is a new remix of the track "Shame", originally from my Astralwerks album Invisible Airline and featuring the lovely vocals of Lisa Shaw. Orlando-based producer/hotshot Atnarko re-imagined the original vocal into a brand new deep house gem. It's a slick and snazzy remix ... I love it. Let me know what you think ...

Romanthony - Trust (Kerri Chandler Dub)

Originally released as an ultra-limited 12" on Philomena [which are now fetching upwards of £200 on Discogs] Glasgow Underground is re-issuing the classic Dixon edit of Romanthony's The Wanderer. Much in the spirit of the original/Prescription Underground "CD #9 Version" [which Michael Mayer puts in his all time great dance records] Dixon delivers a sun-kissed, bass-heavy groove that is pure Panorama Bar house music at its very best. This will be a limited 500 only hand spray-painted release.

Romanthony - The Wanderer (Dixon Edit)

"Since 2011 and his ubiquitous, monstrous Beatport #1, "Doin' Ya Thing", Berlin's Oliver $ has been a name to watch. There is an art to making records that are so effective yet at the same time so simple, and when it comes to putting them together, Oliver $ is one of world's best. For this remix, he doesn't mess with the formula and fixes Roman's paean to lost love to one serious tribal groove. Add a system shaking baseline and some special fx and there you have it. Simple. Effective. Massive." (Glasgow Underground)
