Dirty Edits Vol.I A Collection Of Dirty Classics Selected By Dirty Sound System Edited By Pilooski
This second edits comp from Paris' dirty crew affirms that for Pilooski and friends, everything old is still new again. Unlike many re-editors, though, the dirty team doesn't limit itself to re-cutting gems from the fertile underground of dusty disco, and the breadth of material on Dirty Edits 2 shows just how wide they're capable of casting their net. Should this comp make its way into your hands, consider yourself well-armed: The next time you play host, you won't have to show off with a cultivated playlist. Simply let this thing roll from start to finish, as it represents a range of people-pleasers that don't resort to the lowest common denominator never a mean feat.

Tru-Thoughts head honcho Rob Luis returns with another double-cd mix CD, this time with a pop theme. There's a down-tempo CD and an up-tempo CD featuring cover versions, originals, mash-ups, remixes and more of tunes such as 'Hey Ya!', 'Sometimes I Rhyme Slow', the original sample to Gnarls Barkley's 'Crazy', N.E.R.D. remixes, Alice Russell acapellas over Talking Heads instrumentals, Quantic Soul Orchestra vs Mark Ronson and a hell of a lot more! Thoroughly recommended
Tru Thoughts founder Robert Luis digs into his record collection to offer a double CD Mixtape. The themes for the mix are reggae & dub. The first CD is a down-tempo and listening selection with tracks influenced and played on the Unfold Radio Show. The second CD is more of a club orientated mix covering hip hop, broken beat, funk and drum and bass…all with a Jamaican influence. Strictly limited edition with 400 copies available worldwide. The first CD is correctly entitled Head Nod, and contains reggae, dub, breakbeat and soul tracks with a Jamaican feel - a real cross section of styles that goes very well with red eyes and late night sessions. The second disc is a more sprightly affair and I think an ideal getting-ready-to-go-out CD, puts a smile on your face and a spring in your step! An excellent set from the mind behind one of the UKs best indie labels and a damn fine DJ to boot.

Jah Wobble isn't the first person you'd associate with l8th century poet and painter William Blake; but think 'visionary' and 'Londoner' and you'll find them in the same bag. Wobble - an old pal of John Lydon, who was 'too much of a yob' to join the Sex Pistols, but later became PIL's founding bassist - discovered Blake's Songs Of Innocence And Of Experience when a mate gave him the book a few years back. Now he's releasing an album, The Inspiration Of William Blake, featuring Blake's words against an atmospheric soundscape. 'At first I was like, "Tyger, Tyger - fuck off!",' he recalls. 'I thought Blake was some middle class tosser who shot tigers and wrote poems about It. Then late one night when I was bored I started reading him.' Pop-pickers may be unconvinced by Wobble's portentous, melodramatic readings (Island Records were -the album is released on Wobble's 30 Hertz label) but the old magic is still there in the seductive backing tracks and instrumentals - Wobble's usual blend of Eastern esoterica and Western beats, with those distinctive basslines throbbing underneath. 'Whenever I come in contact with great art, the illusion of separation is lifted and I feel very connected,' he explains, 'it's like when you have a good deep conversation - it's this incredible thing where two minds merge into one.'

The Best Mixes From The Album Debut For All The People Who Don't Buy White Labels
Rightly or wrongly cited as 'the greatest TV show ever made about dance culture' this made for television documentary made a huge impact in the UK when it was first shown and has since become something of a cult film. Certainly it did capture an accurate snapshot of a moment in the history of the music scene - a moment when a small, typically British, hedonistic sub-culture - namely acid house - began to cross over on its way to becoming a remarkably enduring and potent force.
Earlier this year, Bob Stanley from Saint Etienne said that he would offer a unique Saint Etienne CD to everyone who would help him fill the holes in his "Now That's What I Call Music!" CD collection.

The Fried Funk Food E.P. is classic electronic meets dub in a way that has held it's timeless charm since 1994. Over the years I have come back to this simple 6 track EP and enjoyed it over and over again. Also worth noting is the album is produced by Norman Cook (aka Fatboy Slim, Feelgood Factor, The Mighty Dub Katz, Pizzaman, Sunny Side Up, Yum Yum Head Food) before he rose to stardom. Highly recommended.
"...Alabama 3 are a pop band, a punk rock, blues and country techno situationist crypto-Marxist-Leninist electro band. They never went on X Factor or Pop Idol or Stooge Quest. They did it the old fashioned way; Back in 1996, they threw a big old party, invited all their friends. They took a fistfull of blotters and half a dozen disco biscuits and then made it up as they went along. Geffen records bought it..! for a million dollars! They never needed a self-appointed quango of jaded vampires to tell them how to sing the blues...they got the Mojo Rising. They have the power to raise the dead...
Brilliant promo mix CD given away free with any purchase greater than £45 from the Addict Clothing online store. The blurge from said website describes it as; "Fresh from dropping their critically acclaimed LP 'This Was Supposed To Be The Future' featuring Fat Freddy's Drop, LSK, Sway, Dynamite, Zarif and Alice Russell as well as a crazy touring period smashing Glastonbury, Big Chill, Pacha Ibiza and further afield across Europe, Far East Asia, Australia and New Zealand... they have firmly secured their spot as the 'go-to' eclectic DJ's certain to raise the floor at any hot party.

Harvey's 'Selections from Sarcastic Disco part 1', also entitled 'Harvey Sarcastic 1' depending which label you acquire it from is the first in a series of 2 x 12" doublepack compilations of mega rare tracks featured on DJ Harvey’s legendary 'Sarcastic Disco vol 2' mix CD. Harvey’s original mix featured a fictitious track listing to throw collectors off the scent, released for the first time in 2006 in their full length glory are the correctly titled tracks from the mix. Theres no point me posting the original mix, tis on any number of sites/pages and a piece of piss to find...
ROLLED OATS is one of the more interesting limited 7" singles that Lemon Jelly has released on their own. Since these singles are full of uncleared samples there is no way that they could put these out without paying a hefty licensing fee. The name Lemon Jelly does not appear on any of these singles so you have to "be in the know" to understand who this is. The single comes in a small burlap (hessian) sack with the words 'Rolled Oats' silk screened on the front. No label affiliation, no credits, no nothing! When you slide the record out it is a shocking bright gold color. Rolled is printed on one side, Oats on the other. Rolled samples "Feel Like Making Love" by Bad Company and is based on Lemon Jelly's own track "The Curse of Ka'zar". Oats uses elements of Lemon Jelly's "Closer" with a sample of George Michael's "Heal The Pain."
Before they added the 'The' to their name they were known as Verve and were one of the UK's finest psychedelic alternative bands. Voyager 1 captures live performances from New York and London recorded in 1992. Only 1000 clear blue vinyl copies were pressed, making the ownership of this album a collectors item. However, 300 of the copies were ruined in transit from Britain to the States, making this even rarer. Black vinyl copies do exist, however the amount of copies is unknown. Roughly recorded and full of cracks and pops, this vinyl transfer can't be compared to their later studio recordings, but this captures Verve at their live best, taking the audience on a cerebral journey. An exceptional highlight is the track 'South Pacific' which is only available on this album.
Very rare bootleg of Altern-8s infamous, afterhours "gig on the back of a truck in the carpark outside the club"... the guy commentating i swear is a young Kevin Bacon, him that got kicked off Blue Peter for chemical indulgences...The 2.30 AM rave in Shelley's car park. For all those who don't know Shelley's isn't some northern bird or a crap shoe shop, it is was one of the best clubs of that time. Altern8 held a rave in the car park at 2.30 am on the 15th of September 1991. An interview with Altern8 was recorded which was available on vinyl as limited edition.

A group of remixers got together in 2005 and remixed Primal Scream’s “Screamadelica” making it available via bittorrent on the web and asking for a charitable donation in return. Entitled “Screamixadelica” it also features a bonus track in the form of the track “Screamadelica” which was only available on the Dixie Narco EP.
Sometimes more than a little eccentric and cryptic in interviews, Lee ‘Scratch’ Perry’s good relationship with Trojan and the BBC makes for a brilliant session in which he introduces his own productions alongside records that have influenced him (including Bob Dylan, Fats Domino, The Temptations and Wilson Pickett). ‘Scratch’ also explains his unique approach to record production and gives his account of many of the legends that surround him.

The sound of Air? Well here's what made the classic album 'Moon Safari' (1998) sound the way it did, this limited edition 4 CD set is a mammoth 4 hour journey through the personal record collections of former architect Nicloas Godin and mathematician Jean-Benoit Dunckel. Artists include Pink Floyd, Horace Andy, Brigitte Gardot, Prince, Beastie Boys, Iggy Pop, Rolling Stones and many, many more. The four Promo CDs first surfaced in 2002 after airing on BBC Radio 1's Essential Mix. The 4 hour mix was played in back to back Essential Mix shows over two weeks. Some funny trivia about these two mixes is that when they were asked Air just assumed, wrongly, that it was a 4 hour mix the Beeb were after, not the usual 2 hours! Their stupidity is our gain...
In 1993, 3 years before she released her first EP and 4 years before her first full album, Beth Orton collaborated with William Orbit as part of a duo called Spill. They released a cover version of a John Martyn song, “Don’t Wanna Know About Evil,” that led to an appearance by Beth on Orbit’s “Strange Cargo III” album, which led in turn to a album they did together featuring Beth’s vocals. They called it SuperPinkyMandy, named after a rag doll which she bought at a jumble sale at the age of six. The album had 10 tracks and was released in Japan only, with a very limited pressing of 5,000 copies. Amazingly, even though Beth has gone on to great international success and is a much beloved recording artist, “Superpinkymandy” has never been released and, were it not for the inclusion of 2 songs from the album in “Pass in Time: The Definitive Collection” in 2003, “Superpinkymandy” would have remained in complete obscurity. The last song on the CD, “Release Me,” is a good example of the album’s sound, but every song on the album is terrific and it makes you wonder why in the world it has never seen the light of day. Superpinkymandy also contains a completely different take on the song “She Cries Your Name,” which became a hit for Beth when it was included on her “Trailer Park” album.

Great Funk mash up with a twist! The first in an interesting concept from the people behind the BBC funk and soul show. Basically trying get some mixes done as if legends like Nina Simone, James Brown, Bootsy Collins etc were doing their thing in the same recording session as one band. First up, they've lined up Dr Rubberfunk and Smoove to take on the brief and the results are ace! Both serving up a heavy JB"s backing with Nina Simone vocals layered on top. The Rubberfunk mix is particularly good changing up the groove half way through! Limited to an exclusive 500 7"s this one's destined to become a bit of a collectors item...
