In the week that sees the release of his Classic Through the Eyes Of… compilation, Horse Meat Disco resident and long-time friend of Classic (briefly) talks us through all the selections that make up his mix.
Nail - Time For Change
Balearic kind of beginning for this compilation, it reminds me of Don Carlos (his Alone is a proper feel good track) and Time for Change is indeed the same.
LIT - Brown Dwarf (Hyena Stomp Red Giant Remix)
I was hugely honoured to remix with fellow producer Nico De Ceglia and of course mister Duckenfield and Luke {Solomon]. We add a lovely piano break...a simple melodic style.
The Magi - Luke's Surprise
Crazy vibes here ...I love that little sample.
Style of Eye feat. Freeda - You Got That (What!? Luv Dub)
Typical Classic. Typical Derrick [Carter] kind of record - fun bumpin’ jackin’ house . You need a bit of fun sometimes. Love that little funky guitar (all about Prince)
LoSoul - Lies (No Ears Instrumental)
Always a HUGE fan of Rob Mello and his No Ears stuff...I think it’s a timeless piece of house.
Rednail Kidz +1 - I Think Of You (Herbert's Trouser Dub)
Herbert has always been super upfront in his production. I think he’s a major influence of the new producers around today...this is a Classic for the new generation
Trademarq - Dirty Girlz (DC's One Man / One Army Dub)
SEXY SEXY...For the ladiez out there...Mister DC knows how to shake those ladiez booty.
Joshua - Echo Chamber (Joshua's Dubwise Mix)
Another great and proper US artist...i always like the way he manages to sort of space out records. And come on..dubs are always great
Robbie Hardkiss - Everything is Changing (Hyena Stomp Mama Remix)
Again a lots of Prince inspiration in this track; vocoder vocal...Pumpin..Another little nu touch from the Hyena.
3rd Face - Canto Della Liberta (KiNK Remix)
BIG Italian anthem. Every DJ in London was going crazy when I first promoted the original Italian version from Fabio and Sergio (from Par-t-one). Genius idea ..that Neapolitan sample reflects the madness of Napoli..and KINK did it too...a bit electro.
Louis Botella - Clause 1
Keep in the loop and pump it up.
Scoper & Bubba - I'm Satisfied (Brett's World of Nonsense Mix)
Brett Jonhson completely took this track into a sexy and dirty direction. It’s like the beginning of house music.. and that vocoder vocal break it super fun, crazy lyrics!
Rob Mello - Happiness (Happy Club Mix)
Back into the sunshine and uplifting vibe with those grrrroves.
Brett Johnson ‘Slow Down Baby’ (Severino Mix)
BIG fan of Will Powers… so I loved the idea of finishing the mix with a slow jam with THAT sample.
