After the release of their collaborative &#8216;BREED&#8217; EP at the end of last summer, Nicole Moudaber and Skin have unveiled the highly anticipated remix package featuring a long list of respected producers. Carl Craig, Fur Coat, Jamie Jones, Jerome Sydenham, Paco Osuna, Pan-Pot and Scuba are just some of the names which have turned their hand to the project. Originally born out of Nicole and Skin ofSkunk Anansie&#8217;s desire to fuse their rock and techno backgrounds, this is a true for a collaboration project with a difference. 
 
First, techno legend and remix master Carl Craig provides the only remix of &#8220;Someone Like You&#8221; featured in the EP. A powerful kick drum alongside the original chords take center stage, whilst Skin&#8217;s vocals come to the forefront in a series of tension-filled breakdowns. The EP includes two remixes of &#8220;Don&#8217;t Talk To Me I&#8217;m Dancin&#8217;.&#8221; Jamie Jones&#8217; take involves a thudding, heavy bassline, including the Zebra Katzvocals sampled over the top, whilst Jerome Sydenham takes the track into faster, heavier territory. 
 
Paco Osuna&#8217;s jacking, percussion-filled remix of &#8220;You Like This&#8221; is currently one of Nicole&#8217;s favorite tracks to play out - featuring a surprise buzz-saw synth drop mid way through, it&#8217;s easy to visualize the effect this would have on a dancefloor. In his remix of the same track, Berliner Hector keeps the strolling rhythm of the original, adding sub bass and synth touches before bringing the vocals in more than halfway through. MJ Hall, Nicki Minaj&#8217;s producer - uses the original as a hip-hop sample, with rapper Luz Wang featured on the track. 
 
Pan-Pot takes on &#8220;These Walls Are Made Of Water&#8221;, adding the duo&#8217;s characteristically stomping touch as well as dramatic new synth melodies. This remix is another Nicole favorite, often featured in her sets and her In the MOOD radio shows. French emotive techno specialist Paul Ritch turns in an atmospheric, driving remix for this track as well. 
 
Lastly we see remixes for the most conventionally &#8220;techno&#8221; track of the original EP. &#8220;Organic Love&#8221; is treated to a melodic yet industrial remix by Scuba, whilst Fur Coat remixes the track into a more dark and dramatic affair. 
 
&#8216;BREED The RMXS&#8217; EP is the latest incarnation of Nicole and Skin&#8217;s collaboration since the original project&#8217;s release in September last year. The pair have since been sharing the stage with each other at high-profile slots such as Space Ibiza and Coachella. Furthermore, the original EP was submitted and accepted into the Grammys for consideration - the remixes ensure that there now is a version of each track to fit into any set.

Vapour Trails
Out now: po.st/vapourtrails

Trance’s hottest artist Simon Patterson signs to Insomniac Records and kicks off the partnership with ‘Vapour Trails’ - a vocal record of gargantuan proportions featuring the uber talented singer & song writer Dave Wright (Nothern Lights etc). 

His first vocal release since January when he topped the charts with the sublime Lucy Pullin sung “Now I Can Breathe Again”, this new future anthem looks set to bring Patterson’s incredible run of consecutive Beatport number 1s to a staggering 22. 

It’s anthemic, it’s infectious, it’s seductive and hedonistic….. 

It’s a genuine sing along anthem fused with tough club techno. A brave fusion to attempt – but if anyone can – it’s psymon.   

Pristine production, heart breakingly beautiful lyrics and a chorus the size of Saturn – this is without question Simon Patterson at his all time best.

Live at Obsession: DJ Sy (1993)

DJ Sy - Live At Obsession 'Innovation' - Battle of the Scratchmasters (27/11/1993)

Ok, this is a good one folks. DJ Sy's Jungle mix from the 'Scratchmaster's Obsession' triple pack. 
Circa '93 I was a massive Sy fan, but wasn't feeling the 4beat route he took, so finding a mix like this in '95 was a rare treat.
I had the CDs back in the day, sold them after a few years but luckily made this cassette recording of CD2, so this is a rip of that. Ignore the mad burn-through sound in the intro, it's generally pretty decent sound quality throughout. I've just listened through the whole thing at work for tracklisting purposes and it really is a fucking wicked mix :) Big up Sy!

There is some mystery here though. I had a quick check on Discogs but the version listed (which I've also seen on mixcloud) is shorter and with quite a few different/missing tracks. 
What the hell is going on? Can anyone shed any light? 
Anyway.... here's my CD>tape rip for your enjoyment, tracklist below :-)

(DJ Sy - Intro)
DJ Sy - Big Time
Omni Trio - Feel Good '95
Formula 7 & Easy Bass - Run From De Soundclash

Spider Monkey - Stakka & Skynet Feat Shimon

Track A1 from my original piece of vinyl.

The female saying "beats time, beats time" was a stunning french exchange student staying with my sisters mate for a couple of weeks, we had some fun together and she cried at the airport when we said goodbye - never to be seen again bless her!)

The tune was made on an Amiga using Noisetracker (a soundtracker variant) At the time I wasn't trying to get the tunes released had no real idea of what I was doing and had just started making tunes for fun. I sampled things from everywhere, off cassette tapes, from TV shows copied on to VHS, talking/shouting into headphones rather than a mic. Crunching four breakbeats into one channel as Noisetracker only allowed you 4 channels to play with and basically just throwing stuff together.

One of my mates Chris (infamous for being on acid at my house for the first time when my parents were on holiday and seeing a picture of me and my sister at Madame Tussauds in the living room stood next to a waxwork of Benny Hill, and saying "fuck me your Dad doesn't half look like Benny Hill!!!) showed me an issue of Amiga Format magazine asking for rave tunes to be sent in to a record label that were made on the Amiga.

I sent a tape off and out of 2000 odd tapes that were received by the record label (Delirious Records most famous for The Moog Jungle Muffin) my one got chosen, mainly I think because one of the tunes that was on the tape (not on this EP) sampled the drums from the guy that ran the label's first tune - Rotor Kaleidoscope (love that tune to death still)

I wanted to call myself as an "artist" Arkham Asylum as in the Batman jail for the criminally insane and really liked the way the letters fitted together , both words starting with an A and ending in M with the same amount of letters inbetween. However the label wanted to use my real name "Simon Harris" so as to confuse people into buying it thinking it was by the Simon Harris as in "Bass How Low Can You go".

1000 copies were pressed and split between two distributors, one of the distributors went bust a few days later and 500 went missing and then because of the really bad sampling quality from me not really knowing anything about production or sound quality, the vinyl was never of a high enough quality to play out loud. The tunes were good but just sounded bad through a loud system.

I never heard the tune out raving (although my sister claimed to hear it once but I reckon she was just off her head!) and it all died a death.

A few years ago I googled the EP and was amazed to find some people talking about it on backtotheoldskool. I put up a few tunes that I had knocking about that were never released, a few people liked them and that inspired me to start producing again.

I'm amazed by the response that my tunes get (I still think most people think I'm the more famous Simon Harris) and feel that I should have put more effort into getting myself out there back in the day but was far too busy with E's, trips and whizz!

But all of this just all goes to show never give up. I have always loved this sound, was never into music before I heard Eon - Spice on some walkman headphones wandering though Harlow town centre. I will always love this sound and am so glad that so many like minded people out there actually appreciate the crap that I throw together. Thankyou!

Anyway enjoy this tiny piece of history,,,,,,,,,,,,,,

Simon Harris - Logical Beats (1992 B-Hive Records)

* Message me if you have any copyright issues *

Home of my own mixes - predominantly jungle/hardcore with the odd bit of D&B, plus eclectic sample-digging, breaks and hip-hop, techno & electronica. 

Pre-2001, all mixes vinyl; Post-2016, all mixes digital (DJay 2); Post-2018, Ableton Live. Why? Why not?
I've got an old skool DJ's mentality, early influences ranging from Sublove, Ratty, Randall & Hype to Coldcut, DJ Juice, MK & Primo.  In the early 00s I turned my back on D&B, retired my turntables in favour of family/work commitments, and got into funk, soul, reggae and so on... a lot of this driven by curiosity around the sample roots of hardcore and jungle.  Forward another decade and an early mid-life crisis saw me messing around with virtual decks on my phone, and later acquiring a vinyl ripper, with one vision in mind: making mixes.
Although I'm partial to the odd DJay or vinyl mix when I get the chance, the progression into Ableton Live was a simple means to an end.  My ideas stretch further than the limitations of my physical collection and real-time mixing, and by sequencing I can pick, choose, chip away and structure mixes at my leisure. Which I do... a lot :)

Wait, there's more ... an absolute stack of classic golden era/old skool hip-hop/turntablism, jungle and d&b, hardcore, techno and house mixes retrieved from my dusty tape & CD archives.  This includes (by my reckoning) the most exhaustive collections of classic Full Cycle and Sublove Galaxy Radio shows, live Ruffneck Ting jungle tapes, loads of studio & compilation mixes, all manner of rave tapes, and so on. 

Have fun, spread the love :)
