12" vinyl, 3mm spine sleeve, inner black bag, 180Gsm

* Following on from the success of the 'Ram Reloaded' repress vinyl series, we are pleased to announce our next project in collaboration with Ram Records. As part of Ram Records' 30th anniversary, we have put together a series of new remixes and VIP's of some of the labels biggest releases from the early 90's.

* In 1994, Shimon made his first appearance in the Ram studio to create two tracks alongside Ant Miles. With additional production from Andy C and the vocal sampled from the film 'The Predator', Shimon's debut track soon fell into place. Highlighting the usual precision tooled breaks, synonymous with the emerging Ram style, Ant Miles's reversed bass line and stereo oscillating effects had an immediate impact on dancefloors throughout the UK. Ant Miles returns to deliver two brand new VIP's for 2024 which continue the Junglist vibe of both original mixes.

Following on from the success of our 'Liftin Spirit Reloaded' vinyl series, we are pleased to announce our next project in collaboration with Ram Records. 'Ram Reloaded' will be a series of limited 12" vinyl from Ram's early years, re-mastered from the original DATs and presented onto our usual, high quality, heavy weight vinyl.

In 1994, Shimon made his first appearance in the Ram studio to create two tracks alongside Ant Miles. With additional production from Andy C, and the vocal sampled from the film 'Predator', Shimon's debut track soon fell into place. Highlighting the usual precision tooled breaks, synonymous with the emerging Ram style, Ant Miles's reversed bass line and stereo oscillating effects had an immediate impact on dancefloors throughout the UK, cementing Shimon as an artist to watch out for in the future. For the flipside to Predator, Ant Miles and Shimon went on a roller jungle vibe with haunting pads and slow time stretched vocals, creating a hypnotic trance state perfectly complimenting the A side.

The original sister label to Ram Records from the old Ram HQ studio in Essex, Liftin Spirit Records now celebrates it's 25th year with a special 'RELOADED' limited vinyl series of remastered classics, alongside rare and previously unreleased tracks since the beginning in1992.

DATs from artists such as Andy C, Ant Miles, Shimon, Joint Venture, Interrogator and Red One have been located in the archives. Also from the Ram & Liftin HQ came tracks for the Deep Seven label in 1993 and all these rare DAT masters have been located and now re-cut by Simon, the original Ram & Liftin vinyl masterer at 'The Exchange'. Initially, Deep Seven remasters will present on a printed white label and unreleased tracks will have a black label.

Cup-A-Cha: In 1995-96 the tracks were flowing out of the studio and Ant Miles would often sketch out beats while waiting for Andy C to return. Cup-A-Cha literally fell out of the computer one day and Andy felt it needed to go out as was, especially with the emotion laden piano trills towards the end; reminiscent of the sound of Foul Play who Ant adored. This track actually got Moving Shadow's attention and Ant was invited over to release various tracks as 'Higher Sense' as a result of the vibe of this tune.

The Futurist (Ant Miles Remix): Originally the title track on Red One's debut Liftin Spirit release in 1994, 'The Futurist' was indeed a sound and rhythm ahead of its time which inspired Ant Miles to load up the track for a special remix featured here. This went on to be backed with a remix of 'Alive 'N' Kickin' that Andy C and Ant created as 'Origin Unknown'. This mix captured the sound and vibe of The AWOL raves that are cherished greatly by all of D&B/Jungle heads of the time.

Soon Come:A collaboration between Ant and Andy C that went on to inspire yet another alias for them as 'Concept 2' on Liftin Spirit. Ram was often swamped with releases for months to come, so this found its way to the sister label. 'Concept 2' smashed it out the park in later years with tracks such as 'Cause and Effect'. A Desired State production in full effect.

Bad Influence: Originally a B side for Stakka & K-Tee on Liftin Spirit, being in a similar vein to 'The Futurist'. This track also became an anthem at The Awol nights back in the day with its heads down, haunting, roller vibes.

Its U: This track was a collaboration with 'Rainbow Country' and Ant Miles from the very early years 1991-92. This track was actually released on a first label attempt starting life as 'Etheric Records' that Ant later morphed into 'Liftin Spirit Records'. A Hardcore stormer of the era, smashed by DJ Randall and Grooverider back in the day.
Highlander: Again from way back in 1991, although under the guise of Desired State, this track featured on Ant's friends label 'Strategy Records' which was inspiring Andy & Ant to formulate their own labels.
Turntable Overload: A remix from 1992 by Andy C and Ant Miles for Royal T & DJ XL originally released on Strategy Records. Once again encapturing that early 1990's Hardcore sound that Strategy became well known for.
Move In Motion: The second flip side remix that Ant & Andy created for Royal T & DJ XL, once again, originally released on Strategy Records and remastered from the original DAT.

Deep Seven No.10, the infamous final 12" from Deep Seven that never reached a full release. Only a short promo run hit the shops in 1993 before the label closed for good. 'Release' brought to the series a continuation of the huge tracks that graced local label 'Contagious' in the early 90's. As time passed, 'The Jungle' / 'Musical Movements' reached cult status, exchanging hands for hundreds of pounds when a copy surfaced on the market. The rarest of all the Deep Seven releases, with an additional version of 'The Jungle' that was not included on the original press. Remastered from the original DAT and presented on our 180g vinyl, this final 12" completes the entire Deep Seven back catalogue.

* We reach the penultimate Deep Seven No.9 that never made it to vinyl back in 1993. This is now available to own and settles the speculation over the missing 9th release that has accumulated for over 25 years. Ant Miles's last Hardcore production under the guise 'Ironik' comes in the form of 'Feel the Feeling'. Uplifting original vocals feature over pumping basses and funk breaks capturing that '93 Hardcore vibe. The flip 'Inspiration Station' again features original vocals encompassing the Junglistic Hardcore flavours emerging from that era.

Further out from the early 90's these two 1998 tracks still exemplified the established D&B Junglist vibe that Ant Miles (Liftin' Spirits) adored and honoured. Only recently located in the DAT tape archives, it's focused production of twisted up organic bass lines has a foot in the present as well as the past.
