Beware of the gypsy eyes

Ok folks, this is the beginning of some brand spanking new OOFT edits which will be appearing on the site over the next few weeks. This edit is a bit of a work-in-progress at the mo, taking Jimi Hendrix' classic "Gypsy Eyes" and subtly re-arranging it for super deejay use, hence the "Basic Edit" tag. I'm considering whether to leave it like this or whether to delve deeper and do a more electronic, stripped down version a la The Revenge. Comments would be appreciated!

Gino Edit

A little beefed up discotool courtesy of Sub Club resident Harri, featuring the French-Canadian disco producer Gino Soccio. Looped, cut and shaken up for all the house and disco heads. 14 days and counting on the download ...

Spacek : The Vinyl Front Ear

This unofficial rework was given to me a good while ago but it has yet to leave my box / hard-drive. Both Chris Barker (Jigsaw Music) & JC (Cronk Family Enterprises) have produced material for Five20East Records recently and this compliments those tracks perfectly. Faithful to the original with that extra beach-house beat and a weighty b-line this should do it all over the floor and more.

BBQ Beats

Two soulful edits sent to us from a producer affiliated with one of the UKs best Nu Jazz & Broken Beat labels who wishes to remain anonymous. Perfect summertime, set-builders from the mighty N.E.R.D. and Bilal on a bottom-end bustin' tip. I can already smell that charcoal from the BBQ. "Yo! Throw another lobster on the grill and pass me a pina colada. Yeeah."

Down Under Thunder

As we're now in the midst of a typical tropical Scottish summer, filled with blistering heat one minute and torrential rain the next, I thought i'd present you with a great little balearic mix from a young lad in Australia to dry the sweat and tears. Gareth has put together a great little selection in this mix which ends with one of my favourite Change tracks. Sit back, skin up and slip away.

Tracklist :

Belladonna (Tangoterje Edit) – Andreas Vollenweider
Brothers Gonna Work It Out (The Revenge Rework) – Willie Hutch
Love Endeavour (Maurice Fulton Remix) – Alice Smith
Getting Over – Kool Kyle
We Got The Funk – Positive Force
Running Away – Roy Ayers
Freak On – Lemon
Theme From Black Belt Jones – Dennis Coffey
The Sound Table – Cameo
Rock The Beat – Jamaica Girls
Hold Tight (Danny Krivit Re-Edit) - Change

I Can't Help It Captain, I Don't Have The Powerrrr!

Here's a brand new Hiphop edit - take some Arrested Development drums, a C.L. Smooth Acapella, layer up some tinkly synth lines for a bass and lead (a la Terje, Thomas et al), and here's what you get. Bam!

Funky New Incarnation

After the Revenge's scorching edit of of "Heavy Love Affair" (previously posted on here), we've got the slightly lower bitrate copy of my edit of "Funky Space Reincarnation". It will appear on a very limited edition edits CD titled "Forever in Their Debt" which should be available from Piccadilly Records in Manchester, Juno, and also at the Five20East Records online boutique in the next couple of weeks. Plenty of the original song in this one, just tracked up for Deejay usage.
