x-cursions 001 EP Inc 'For The City' 180g Vinyl Out Now



Long promised Leftside Wobble vinyl imprint featuring 'For The City', 'Dub & Run' and 'Boogie Box Droids'. Now available from all fine vinyl emporiums inc:

Piccadilly Records - tinyurl.com/ohdqnxf
Juno Records - tinyurl.com/ndvsq5o

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.

Purple Prints - Erotic (Leftside Wobble Rework)


One of my favourite Prince tracks given a LW slice'n'dice. Great memories of my earliest trips to Ibiza with this track and of course the legendary Future night at London's Sound Shaft with Nancy Noise & Lisa Loud. Much love for that night!

Jolly Mare - Have Visions EP


One of those rare edit EP's that's filled with originality and guarantees a bountiful boogie quotient on the dance floor (all tracks are great but it's the final one Keep On Tach that shakes my bones the most). Available on vinyl via Juno right now.

Bufi & La Royale - Paris


Love this so much. Best Electrique Music release so far...

Greg Wilson at The Bunker in Brooklyn


If there's one Greg Wilson mix you're going to download this year make it this one. At close to four hours long this is the perfect "all back to mine" soundtrack for those times when you want the party to carry on just that little bit more...

Innerzone Orchestra - Bug In The Bass Bin (LW Remix)























Pulled an all nighter the other night in the studio and happened to have the Bug In The Bass Bin stems to hand. 12 hours later I was severely lacking in sleep but got myself an exclusive to play tonight at the Sancho Panza / Leftside Wobble Xmas party. :)

Hope you like. x

Leftside Wobble - Ray's Groove


Something forthcoming. This ones a deep slice of spacey electro funk - a little different from what I've been doing recently but I've never been one for following musical genre's anyway!

Not sure about a release schedule as yet as I haven't spoken to any specific labels about this one but hopefully some time soon.

Grapevine Boogie

Basaed on an eighties proto house/electro boogie track - You're All Played Out by L.I.F.E. ; this started out as an exercise in (kings of the edit) Latin Rascals edit techniques, took a trip to Detroit for some Motown love and has ended up in a bizarre electric Balearic discothèque!

Hopefully due on vinyl sometime soon.

Electric Influences part 1












A selection of Electro/Italo tracks that got me into DJing in the first place. I remember at the time funding my record buying habit by making tapes for school mates and charging them 50p for each import single and 25p for each British one. How else was teenage schoolboy going to afford all those exotic records he was falling in love with listening to pirate radio!

I've also stuck a couple of contemporary tracks in the mix that wear their electro influences firmly on their sleeves for comparison. Really enjoyed putting this one together. J x

n.b. One of the tracks included is The Beat Club's Security, the first single signed to Rob Gretton's (former New Order manager) Rob's Records, the label one half of the Disco Outcasts (Sefano) was signed to for many years. Reason I mention it, I'm guesting at the Disco Outcasts Halloween special on October 31st. If you fancy a trip to Manchester that weekend it's sure to be stormer.
