The resplendent vocal versatility of The Reynolds has been indispensable to Greg Wilson's Super Weird Substance label over the first four releases and, as such, they have duly been awarded their debut solo release, mixed by Greg and Peza. Although only young, The Seacombe-based twins perform like veterans and in this case they have masterfully taken on Bessie Banks' 'Don't You Worry Baby The Best Is Yet To Come' - a cult Blackpool Mecca classic from the mid-70s.

By playing contemporary disco alongside 60's soul rarities the Mecca was at the centre of the famous Northern Soul schism which put the venue at odds with the music policy of Wigan Casino. Whilst the Casino is remembered as the more famous venue, it's arguable that - via its most influential DJ's Ian Levine and Colin Curtis - more classic tracks were unveiled in Blackpool than anywhere else.

The Mecca operated during normal club hours, closing at 2am, whereas the Casino was an all-nighter from 2am-8am - subsequently a number of people would leave the Mecca around 1am to get to the Casino for opening. This led to the final hour at the Mecca becoming more experimental and compilation albums have been made focusing purely on records that became popular there during this timeframe - 'Don't You Worry Baby The Best Is Yet To Come' being one, a Colin Curtis special.

It's such an obscure track that - unless you were there in Blackpool in '76 - it's unlikely you'll have ever have heard of it, having never been issued in the UK. The original vocalist Bessie Banks is best-known for her early 60's hit 'Go Now!' - later covered by the Moody Blues, gifting them their breakthrough hit.

Written by Clyde Otis and Banks' husband of the time, Herman Kelly - legendary in hip hop circles for 'Let's Dance To The Drummer's Beat' - 'Don't You Worry Baby The Best Is Yet To Come' was released in 1976, two years before Kelly's heavily sampled break.

Lending his hand to the recording and mixing once again, Peza cements an ever-fruitful association with producer Greg Wilson, as the Wolverhampton-based DJ and musician takes on a international focus, working with Chen Shi-Zheng in Shanghai on a project opening in New York - on the back of a mutual association with Damon Albarn.

The Reynolds are currently recording further tracks with the intention of a debut album release in 2016. The diversity of sound and nuanced vocal ability of the twins first surfaced on last year's 'Blind Arcade Meets Super Weird Substance In The Morphogenetic Field' mixtape and has become a hallmark of the label since.

The Reynolds 'Don't You Worry Baby The Best Is Yet To Come' - Greg Wilson & Peza Instrumental Mix

Hello, I'm Joe Brooker or "Bizzle-Bear" as I'm known affectionately by friends and loved ones.  Originally from South East London, currently living in South Portugal, via France for a few years, working my way around the world, very, very slowly  

You can download my latest mixes, edits and tunes here. I also re-post other interesting music that I like.

Musically, I love a bit of everything, but mostly Jazz/Funk infused, but sometimes dark and industrial strength House, Techno, Disco, Breaks, Jungle, D'n'B and Garage as these are what I usually like to play in sets with the odd eclectic selection shoved in for good measure, variety is the spice of life, GET INVOLVED!

A multi-media label founded by DJ Greg Wilson, Super Weird Substance deals primarily with balearicpsychedelicdubdisco recordings whilst, on the live side, hosting sixties-styled ‘Happenings’ that include talks, art, bands and DJs.

Announcing its presence at the beginning of summer in 2014 – via the good vibes life-affirming mixtape ‘Blind Arcade Meets Super Weird Substance In The Morphogenetic Field’ – the label took five Super Weird Happenings across the country, whilst releasing a series of new recordings on vinyl, the next year. Eight singles were released between June and October, followed by a CD compilation, bringing together all of the singles as well as alternate versions and a special Greg Wilson mix.

Building on the success of a memorable Festival No.6 showcase in Portmeirion in 2015, Super Weird Substance returned in April 2017 with their most ambitious event to date, the 14 Hour Super Weird Happening at The Florrie. Prior to that Super Weird Substance collaborated with the man who bestowed their name, teaming up with Alan Moore and his Mandrillifesto project, Super Weird Substance created their second mixtape, ‘Alan Moore’s Mandrill Meets Super Weird Substance At The Arts Lab Apocalypse’, taking his acute social commentary and reinventing it within their own joyous sonic realm.

In 2018, the label returned to music with digital single, Gone With The Vibe and the first Substance Select EP. 2019 saw a new, younger energy introduced to the label, bringing with it new sounds, set to be unleashed in 2020, alongside Substance Select Vol.2, releasing Bella Technika remixes on vinyl.
