Side A: Arise (Sophie Lloyd Edit)
Side AA: Love Making Love 2 U (F.A.M.E. Edit)

Following the immediate success of the first two releases on A&R Edits, issued side by side back in May, comes the third instalment, a split 12” with transatlantic reworks served up by the UK’s Sophie Lloyd and the USA’s F.A.M.E. collective.

First up under the re-edit razor is Herb Alpert's 'Rise', a track that reached number one on the US chart upon its release in 1979, making Alpert the first (and only) artist to reach Billboard’s Hot 100 with a vocal ('This Guy's in Love with You', 1968) as well as an instrumental performance. ‘Rise’ was also famously played on import by DJ’s on the UK Jazz-Funk scene at 45rpm (rather than the correct speed, 33rpm). In 1997, the track found a new lease of life when sampled by Sean 'Puffy' Combs, becoming the instrumental bed for Notorious B.I.G.'s hip-hop classic, 'Hypnotise'. Now, 16 years on, London-based producer and DJ Sophie Lloyd breathes fresh life into this infectious groove, crafting a timely dubbed-out rework that's been a highlight of Greg Wilson's sets this summer.

On the flip, the Detroit collective F.A.M.E. don their disco guise for 'Love Making Love 2 U', an edit of the cult 1981 Boogie cut, ‘I Love Makin Love To You’ by Mel Sheppard, another choice tune for Wilson this festival season. The edit first came to his attention when he went to Detroit in June to play the Movement Festival Appreciation Party at the TV Lounge and, during the afternoon soundcheck, heard DJ Mike Petrack playing it. After enquiring, Mike gave Greg a copy, which he played that night to great response. It was also at this same event that he first played Sophie’s ‘Rise’ edit: Gregwilson – Movement-appreciation-party-tv

So both tracks, with their Detroit connection and raw-edge in common, seemed a solid combination for an A&R release.

AND003 is released on Monday 14th October on 180g vinyl.

London-based Sophie Lloyd radiates dancefloor magic behind the decks and in the studio, producing “happy music” as an antidote to the world’s pervading doom and gloom. She’s a DJ with over 15 years experience, an authoritative depth of musical knowledge and an innate talent for creating an atmosphere with music. Summoning the power of the most joy-filled sounds, Sophie’s affinity for disco, soul and house music has seen her play alongside the likes of Mark Ronson, Horse Meat Disco, Purple Disco Machine, Dimitri From Paris and Todd Terje, as well as being a frequent guest at Jade Jaggers’ legendary Jezebel parties. Also a regular on the festival scene with her unfailingly uplifting selections, she has curated a stage at Festival No6 in Portmerion as well as playing for Glitterbox, Classic Music Company and Secret Garden Party, Farr, Lovebox and Bestival festivals, to name only a few. She has also held numerous high-profile residencies in London and played for a range of world-class clients, where her sets are consistently discerning and diverse.
 
Since pouring her passions into some serious studio hours, Sophie’s productions are turning heads. With releases on Greg Wilson’s A&R label, Paper Recordings and MTA, most recently she signed her sublime gospel house record ‘Calling Out’ to Classic Music Company. Featuring the uplifting voices of soul trio Dames Brown, ‘Calling Out’ has received critical acclaim and picked up remixes from the likes of Floorplan and Danny Krivit. The original 7” release continues to sell out while the record opens the dance music world up at Sophie’s feet. Always naturally understated, Sophie Lloyd’s impeccable taste shines through in everything she does, whether that’s an irresistible party soundtrack or a timeless disco record.
