Warped Rhythms (a trip through 25 years of Warp Records)

Warped Rhythms (A trip through 25 years of Warp Records) by Leftside Wobble on Mixcloud

Includes tracks from Boards of Canada, The Sabres of Paradise, Red Snapper, Jake Slazenger, Nightmares On Wax, Jamie Lidell, Link, Leila, Speedy J, LFO, Kenny Larkin, Luke Vibert, !!!, CSS, AFX and B12. As you'd expect from Warp Records it's a heady mix of styles and genres but it's held together by a common 'off kilter' attitude. 

A few of the tracks originally appeared on the Aphex Twins Rephlex imprint but they're by artists that have a long history with Warp (including RDJ himself).

Piccadilly Review

Underground legend, house veteran and musical encyclopedia Leftside Wobble is back with another diverse selection of killer edits and updates for your record box. His edit pedigree is second to none with the reel to reel rocking Greg Wilson giving maximum props to his Beatles "Tomorrow Never Knows" rework, while Piccadilly's own Patch and Silvestre caned his "Angel In My Pocket" regularly at their Discofutura night. Establishing X-Cursions as a celebration of the eclectic in dance music, the producer launches the inaugural release free from any genre constraint. The first EP contains a classic Loleatta Holloway disco edit, an Ike & Tina Turner balearic soul rework, and an Arthur Baker style electro funk track that's already an ever present for Bill Brewster and Justin Robertson.

Leftside Wobble kicks the release off with "Dub & Run", a Ronseal styled dub rework of Loleatta's evergreen "Hit & Run", which he stretches into an almighty groove complete with echo and multilayered vocals and guitars. It's lino-time on the flip as Leftside Wobble hits us with the electro snap, crackle and pop of "Boogie Box Droids", a freestyle sampling, Arthur Baker-esque cut featuring the best use of a speak 'n spell since the Oscar nominated "Theory Of Everything". Last but not least, LW fires up the hardware arsenal to wire up a wonked out cosmic rework of Ike & Tina's sublime Stevie Wonder cover. This perfectly judged rework adds just the right amount of backward guitar, psychedelic echo and kosmische keyboard to twist melons inside out, while the lopsided synth bass reminds me of the finest Create Use edits from way back when.

Bryan Ferry - Driving Me Wild (Leftside Wobble Dub)

Forthcoming Bryan Ferry single given a LW Balearic Dub rub (released March 16th).

Limited free download via the Soundcloud page.

Vikter Puff's on Acid (Leftside Wobble's Acid Soul Rub)

Put this together for the fine folk of Sancho Panza who have one of their legendary boat parties this Saturday night - www.sanchopanza.org/

I unfortunately can't make it, so this little booty beauty will at least mean I can be there in spirit if not person. ;)

Richard Earnshaw - Cry Me A River (Leftside Wobble Unreleased Dub)

Always my favourite version of Cry Me A River but it wasn't ready on time for the release so I thought it was about time to make it available as a free download. www.artistlink.com/home/products/460494

One Blood - Be Thankful (Leftside Wobble 12 Minute Rewind)

Whilst the Massive Attack & William DeVaughn versions of Be Thankful are better known, the One Blood version has always been my favourite. This is a bit of an end of the night classic for me so I've sliced & diced it into a super extended 12 minute version. Download Wav or 320k via www.facebook.com/acid.soul

Groovement Soul

Really fantastic mix from Keith Dalton of Dublin's Groovement Soul collective. A deep, funk fueled, soulful selection to get you ready for the weekends escapades.
 
And talking of Groovement Soul here's a rare live mix of me recorded at their ace loft party back in Sept 2012.

Carrot Green - Home or Abroad (Leftside Wobble Remix)

The folk behind the hugely popular Chopshop imprint have a new label launching this Autumn called Our Records and they got me onboard to remix a track from one of their signings - Carrot Green. Heavily influenced by my love of Kerri Chandler & Larry Heard productions this takes the deep jazzy vibe of the original and couples it with a heavy duty dub bassline and heavily filtered chord progressions.

Late night deep disco shenanigans...

It's a mid tempo affair (part 3 follows next week which moves into peak time territory) and includes stunners from The Revenge, James Johnson & Motor City Drum Ensemble.

Also check out these cracking video interviews with Harvey, Maurice Fulton & Derrick May. They come from a series of lectures put together by the Red Bull Music Academy, which comes to London from Feb 7th for a month of special events including club nights, lectures & concerts.
