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.

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

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.

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!

Free download as usual via ArtistLink - https://www.artistlink.com/home/products/396428

Marlena - Ghetto Woman (LW Edit) Free Download

As some of you may know, I've spent much of the last four months in hospital, but that's hopefully all over now. To welcome in the new year, here's a free download of that Marlena Shaw edit I did last year to warm the cockles and spread some cheer. Download details via the soundcloud page/player.

Enjoy. x

Frankie Goes Deep

One of those occasional Soundcloud delights you come across. Frankie Goes Deep has been uploading stuff to SC for the last three years (very similar production style to Late Night Tuff Guy) and he keeps getting better. Check out the full archive - there's gold in them there hills! :)

Simple Minds - Somebody Up There Likes You (Leftside Wobble Edit) Exclusive for White Light Mixes

Proud to have been asked to produce a mix for 'White Light Mixes' to go alongside other recent classics from the likes of Andy Weatherall, JD Twitch, The Revenge & Bonar Bradbury. It's a strange and beautiful mix of balearic rock, jazz & soul; and this exclusive edit is just a taste of the track selection that includes a diverse selection of artists including Serge Gainsberg, Harry Nillson, Nick Drake & Leon Thomas.

Esther Philips - All The Way Down (Leftside Wobble KGS Rework)

One of the first edits I put out on vinyl is being given a digital release by Kojak Giant Sounds in the coming weeks so I took the chance to reinterpret my original edit and give it a dirty, bumping new coat of paint.

Completely restructured the percussion and fuzzed up the bass to create a version that works just as well on house floors as well as funk fuelled disco ones. Definitely on tonights set list at Eclectic Discotech in Brighton.

Augustus Pablo - King Tubby Meets Rockers Uptown (Leftside Wobble Edit)

An all time favourite given the the extended edit treatment it always deserved.

Masters In France - Playin With My Friends (Leftside Wobble Big In Japan Edit)

Over a 1000 request's to make this available as a free download so here it is. Feel free to repost... x

2U - Mysterious (Leftside Wobble Dub)

Pompous 90's stadium rock put through the Leftside Wobble blender...

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.

North by Northwest - Disco Unusual (Al Kent Edit)

Can always rely on Al to unearth a few more treasures... Pure class.

Janet Jackson - Control (Sophie Lloyd Edit)

An unashamedly 80's booty beauty from Sophie Lloyd. Janet Jackson never sounded so good! :)
