At long last this most sought after of Beedle edits is seeing the light of day on special edition vinyl. After hearing 'New York Is Killing Me' on the excellent I'm New Here album, completely blown away by the track, Ashley decided to create an edit/rework with his musical partner Darren Morris. Ashley has been a long time Gil Scott-Heron fan so he embarked on getting a legal release for this track on Modern Artifacts, the track perfectly fitting the labels mould. In summer of 2012, XL Recordings and Gil Scott-Heron's estate very kindly granted a release. This edit/rework is a fitting tribute to the late Scott-Heron. Ashley's rework amps up and stretches out the underlying voodoo groove with drones and trippy sounds to create a menacing sound scape that is unique and a dance floor bomb. It has already been played out extensively on dubplate during the last year with rapturous acclaim across the board, dancers and djs alike. Lord have mercy, have mercy on me!

A - Side: I Love My Lady (The Black Bahia Version) Ashley reworks an unreleased collaboration between Chic and lounge legend Johnny Mathis. What?!!!! This has summer anthem written all over it. Beedle waves his magic wand over this future classic beach groove to create a joyful sing-a-long. B - Side: Addis Ababa (Afrikanz On Marz Kosmik Rework ) Ashley and his musical partner Darren Morris add their trippy AOM vibes to this rare Studio One classic to create an afro/reggae/drone/psychedelic monster. It pulls you in and does not let you out. This is an essential rework for all the true heads out there.

A - Side: I Ain't Hiding (Heavy Disco Edit): Ashley gets low down and dirty with the southern rock giants The Black Crowes. Their 'I Ain't Hiding ' track was a real marmite moment for their fans. Ashley (being a fan) turns the Stonesy disco rock track (think Miss You) inside out to create a psychedelic dancefloor wig out. Already a big fave with the Horse Meat Disco crew this has been one of Mr Beedle's most requested edits/reworks over the last couple of years and he has decided to let this one out the vaults. It's a monster. B - Side: Smiling Faces (DarkStarr Edit ) : Rare Earth formed in 1960 as "The Sunliners" and changed their name to "Rare Earth" in 1968.  They were signed to Motown in 1969. The band was the first act signed to a new Motown imprint that would be dedicated to white rock acts. DarkStarr sprinkled their juju dust over this funky rock version of "smiling faces" to create something special. Originally aired as a dubplate for Ashley and Dj Cosmo's infamous Darkstarr nights this now has been given it's vinyl release.

Randy Wiper is only known for this highly sought-after 100% pure Italo-Disco song from 1984, but the reason why he hasn't published anything else is that the artist embarked on a career as a film actor immediately after. The beginning of the song "I'd Like To Know" could be divided into three, the pattern of which is repeated in the subsequent instrumental parts, the piece possesses the sidereal energy of space disco. When it seems that we will leave the planet on board a shuttle, the soloist's voice enters, full of personality, it is that of Marcello Arcangeli and has the gift of inflections that sometimes recall that of Roy Orbison, at other times that of David Bowie. What remains most imprinted on the listener is the romantic part of the ballad, highlighted by the piano and passion. Finally there is the chorus which sounds exclamatory, imploring, but at the same time casual and danceable. Through a unique theme, that of a rare piece like "I'd Like To Know", we explore space, the heart, the disco.

Remastered and, for the first time, back to back on vinyl, two of Greg Wilson's best-loved edits/mash-ups (plus a bonus track never previously available).

'Two Sides Of Sympathy' combines a pair of P.T.A. mash-ups built around Amerie, Massive Attack and the Rolling Stones. A signature GW edit, originally pressed in 2007, that would feature in his classic 2009 Essential Mix.

'Gotta Keep Workin' It was a GW mash-up pressed back in 2005, its main elements being PM Dawn (sampling Imagination) and Missy Elliot. It would also find it's way into the Essential Mix. A later version, 'Working The Illusion', this time going straight to source with Imagination, whilst retaining Missy Elliot's rap, is made available here for the first time as a bonus addition.

Canadian diggers extraordinaires The Patchouli Brothers make their debut on Razor-N-Tape in the finest form possible, with a quartet of exceptionally tasty and soulful edit heat.

Leading of with a floor-filler that brings people together in early night excitement, then onto a peak time esctatic bomb, a gospel disco chugger, and finishing with a slow roller for that end-of-night euphoria, this 12” truly has it all.

In an an already storied career of flips, this standout record is the Brothers at the top of their game, and an absolute masterclass in the do’s and don’ts of the disco edit. Buy on sight!

LA goddess Angelyne’s neon-draped sophomore LP Driven to Fantasy steers its way to Dark Entries as part of the ongoing celebration of our 15th anniversary! "Who is Angelyne? Angelyne is a voluptuous, blonde, self-made star who drives a hot pink Corvette; wears her clothes short and tight, and is influenced by Barbie and Marilyn Monroe.” In 1984, a series of billboards popped up in the LA area featuring the lone word “Angelyne” along with a mysterious woman posing provocatively. The campaign created an instant stir, making her one of the first icons who was "famous for being famous", and it led to the recording of her second solo LP. Released in 1986, Driven to Fantasy features 8 tracks of bubblegum-hued new wave with a distinctly LA flavor. On sassy titles like “Sex Goddess”, “Skin Tight”, and “Flirt”, Angelyne fused the glam and grit of southern Californian punk with flashy synth-pop style. This will be the first time that this cult record will be in print since its original release, and comes on pink Corvette-colored vinyl with a 2-sided poster featuring lyrics. Angelyne is more than just a billboard or a rock star; she’s been an actress, a visual artist, and even a political candidate. Celebrate a true Hollywood legend with this historic reissue.
