A gentle and unfussy bootleg, done during lockdown, of one of my all-time guitar heroes and musical inspirations, Vini Reilly.

The Durutti Column were the very first and longest-serving signing on Factory Records, the legendary Manchester label which gave us Joy Division, New Order and the Hacienda. 

This ain't no dancefloor banger - it's a hopefully respectful homage to a beautiful peace of musical tenderness which I wanted to bring to a wider audience and play in my more organic sets. We were hoping to license it for Nick Warren's The Soundgarden, unfortunately having initially had some interest and excitement via his management, the trail with Vini went cold again. So 3 years later it's time to share it with you all as a free DL. 

Hope you enjoy :)

The Durutti Column - Requiem Again (Tripswitch Revisit)

My ,,old scool women,, electronic music fun.☺️ Love is emotional & intelligent all Dj  artist all Word. 💙Popular music no listening! My generations valid party people& music fanatics 😉

Matt Gunn =  human with a love of music electronique and the psychedelic sounds of cosmic experimentation.

For a veteran chillout producer to successfully navigate the transition to sought-after producer / remixer and DJ within the Progressive House scene, is not an easy ask. But Nick Brennan a.k.a. Tripswitch has done just that – and with distinction. It was his Tripswitch ‘Vagabond’ album (Iboga Records, 2016) that cemented his highly rated status as a key dance producer beyond doubt. The album rose to the top of the Beatport charts, hitting #1 in Electronica and holding at #2 in Progressive House for 3 months.

Since then, a flawless resumé of releases on Bedrock, Sudbeat, The Soundgarden, Movement, Balkan Connection, Flow Vinyl, Pure Progressive and many more creatively exciting labels, has seen Tripswitch’s progressive stock grow exponentially. Chart-topping collaborative studio projects with Nick Warren and Hernán Cattaneo, along with a huge bootleg remix of London Grammar’s ‘Rooting For You’, helped to propel him to the upper reaches of the production cosmos.

Tripswitch’s melodic, emotionally charged, proper progressive DJ sets at amazing events around the world have resulted him gaining a loyal and ever-growing global audience. In 2017 Nick launched his onedotsixtwo label, with its distinct forward-thinking proper progressive ethos. Impeccable curation and the remarkable smash single ‘Voight Kampff’ (courtesy of Tripswitch & Nick Warren) have already seen onedotsixtwo recognised as a ‘Vital Label’ by DJ Mag USA in 2019.

Never one to limit himself creatively, early 2020 saw Tripswitch release ‘Memento Mori’, his hugely anticipated first chillout album in 10 years.

Music is my life and my life is music ❤️
