Despite the fact that chicken’s don’t really have lips, these chickens seem to know their way around dubby drums, p-funk guitar and synths with ease.

This remix never leaves our record bags because it’s a guaranteed party starter and is such a fine piece of work.

In Emperor Machine mode Andrew Meecham shows once again how to bring it to the remix table, coming over like Liquid Liquid after a night in the Paradise Garage. That string break…

Dean Meredith dons his TRO cloak for a team up with Eric Duncan on the ace Golf Channel. First class lesson in how to turn out raw acid funk here!

Let’s not forget this early beauty, if only all UK Rave records had dated this well!

Dirty Sound System are french diggers, editors and compilers of the good stuff. These guys know what works – from expert edits of dance floor disco to compiling the more obscure finds from flea markets and forgotten b-sides.

Bon Appetite!

The most perfect theme that encapsulates a flawless film. It gets into your head and lives with you.

Plank and Moebius at the controls on this production. Genius.

Taking the scissors to Can is a brave move but Pilooski nails it.

Pure dance floor filth.

Quite a strange Swedish tune. Certainly don’t make them like this anymore…unfortunately.

Finally made my first trip to ADE and i’m now kicking myself as to why it hadn’t happened much sooner. Such a great city with an abundance of line ups every single night! As a lot of my favourite electronics and repress action seems to be coming from the Dutch these days, one thing I was keen to make happen was hunting for records. Top of the list was Rush Hour and I couldn’t believe my luck when a daytime thing i’d been invited along to had a pop up store from Clone in Rotterdam nestled in the corner.

Here are a few of things I scooped…

Two of my all time favs, sleazed out electro and acid in one.

Had been meaning to pick this up for a while (Larry Heard in Kraftwerk mode), but was building up to the £30 price tag. So jumped at the decently priced red vinyl repress, cheers Clone.

Delroy Edwards with a proper cut and paste choppy sampled club bomb, the kind of thing I love to pick up on vinyl because like Soundstream et al these records remain timeless.

Great deeper house thing on a weird little imprint out of Greece I wasn’t aware of, called the “Ethos Series”.

Again something i’d been meaning to pick up for a while was the great Muscle Up compilation by Patrick Cowley. Compiled from the era when Cowley was creating porn soundtracks (hence the name), packaged up & remastered etc by Dark Entries. A proper trip from start to finish!

I really enjoy finding records to play at doors open and the earlier stages of the night. At that point you can really play from a wide range of sounds. Here are five pulled from a recent record bag.

Taken from his latest album. This song doesn’t do a huge amount but works the blues sample beautifully. It could easily have been total cheese, but manages not to be.

I could listen to this on loop all day. Hippy dance.

This sounds very balearic to me. Lovely stripped back production on this dub and sounds like they had been listening to Eno/Byrne.

Norwegian classic. Very addictive, but I wish it was longer!

Krikor continues to deliver again and again. Prince meets DJ Screw in a perfect sleazed out jam.

There was a period in the early to mid nineties when loads of great club music emerged from Italy. Most notably warm deep house music with amazing keys, quite often with the piano taking centre stage. These records have remained timeless and are often imitated but few come close. Here are five that are still good to go…
