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.

Ambient Jazz Ensemble - The Journey (Leftside Wobble 'Garden of Earthly Delights' Remix)

Just sit back and let this one slowly envelop you. From the gentle piano led intro, it builds to a rousing crescendo with the finest horn section you'll have heard in quite some time. Can't wait to play this one at sunset on the Beach Stage at The Garden Festival in a few weeks time. ;)

Due for release in the coming months.

Grab the album now via Bandcamp - hereandnowrecordings.bandcamp.com/

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. ;)

Temples - Shelter Song (Leftside Wobble Rocks The Discoteque Mix)

Another trip into my blatant disregard for genre pigeonholes with this remix for Heavenly Recordings. Best described as ESG meets The Beatles via DJ Pierre! Only available as a free download for a few weeks ahead of vinyl release in a around six weeks so get in quick. I'll be sure play this amongst other twisted disco delights tonight (Friday 16th May) at Trapeze in Shoreditch - d.pr/QeyM

Pocket Angel (2014 Rework) 2 million plays free download

I hit 2 million plays on SoundCloud this week so I wanted to give something special away. This was the first ever vinyl release I put out as Leftside Wobble and it has never before been made available as a digital download so grab it whilst you can as it won't be available for very long. It also happens to be the opening night of my new London residency tomorrow so you can grab the download over on the Acid Soul event page www.facebook.com/events/283799671796835/

New goodies recap for March/April

Been a busy boy uploading loads new stuff over the last month so here's a recap just in case you missed any of the action https://dayone.me/77QzXd

Leftside Wobble - Acid Tearz (Acid Soul Rub)

This unapologetic ode to that raw Chicago acid house sound has long been a secret weapon in my sets so I thought the time was right with the launch of my Acid Soul night in London to make it available as a free download. ;)

Get it here - d.pr/TMUN

Enjoy. x

Psychemagik - Black Noir Schwarz (Leo Zero Mix)

Killer remix by Leo Zero on Psychemagik's recent release for Crosstown Rebels.

So glad to have him playing at our opening party this Friday at Trapeze - http://d.pr/fYAu

White Light Mix - update

White Light 84 - Leftside Wobble by White Light Mixes on Mixcloud

Found out yesterday that this mix for White Light Mixes has been the most popular on their Mixcloud page over the last 12 months. Perfect selection to ease sore heads into Sunday. Look out for their 100th mix in May which will feature exclusive tracks from a selection of artists that have featured in the series so far including Leo Zero, Black Van, Maxxi Soundsystem, Golden Bug, In Flagranti, Tronik Youth, DJ ROCCA (formerly Ajello), The Revenge & of course, there'll be a LW exclusive included too...

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

Sneaker Pimps - 6 Underground (Leftside Wobble Rework)

Due for release in a few months time, we'll be giving an advanced promo copy to everybody that comes to next week's opening Acid Soul party at Trapeze in London.

Here's the event page for next week - http://d.pr/NLac

Tiefschwarz - Acid Soul (Leftside Wobble Rework)

The record that inspired the podcast series, that became the club night, given a LW twist - grab the download links from www.facebook.com/acid.soul

Charles B - Lack Of Love (LW Acid Soul Edit)

If ever there was a record that showed that Acid House oozed soul as well as off kilter funk 'Lack Of Love' is it. I've featured this personal edit in my sets for the last few years and it always goes down a storm. Download WAV/320K via www.facebook.com/acid.soul

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

Express Yourself (Acid Soul Mix) free download via Acid Soul FB page

To celebrate the launch of my new Acid Soul page I'm giving this joyous disco number away for free via https://www.facebook.com/acid.soul

Spread the word on this as I've got a bunch of other exclusive Acid Soul giveaways over the next few weeks.

Much thanks as ever for the continuing support. x

Leftside Classics

With my new Acid Soul night starting on April 11th in London at Trapeze (the old East Village) I thought the time was right to put together a retrospective featuring some of the tracks that have meant the most to me over the last five years or so.

These are the tracks that somehow always find a way back into my sets, tracks that rise above the transient and tracks that defy limiting genre pigeonholes. My sets have always been about joining dots, celebrating the eclectic and supporting those tracks that exist in the rich hinterland between dub, funk, disco and house. Hopefully this retrospective captures that overriding ethos.

I've included a small selection of unreleased LW bits and a few exclusive versions of well known staples to keep things pushing forward too.

As ever hope you enjoy. x

p.s. Be sure to check out some of the other mixes on the Clandestino podcast page. The Andrew Weatherall/Sean Johnston one is particularly tasty.

Kan Sano - Everybody Loves The Sunshine (Leftside Wobble Slow Jam) Free Download

With all this rotten weather we've been having I thought we could all do with some free sunshine. If you like the track enough to download, spread the sunshine by giving it a like and reposting on SoundCloud.

Cheers. x

Distrikt (Leeds) March 15th
