Sunship



Huge re-working of Leo's Sunship's 'I'm Back For More' from the Linkwood Family. Classic soul break expertly chopped and glitched. For those lazy summer afternoons, if they ever come...

To the Light



Longtime Chicago house producer Theo Parrish (pictured above) re-editing Brainstorm's 'Journey to the Light', taken from 'Ugly Edits 10', released in 2005. Soul/disco slow-burner. The opening 4 minutes are especially good as the groove is extended through a slow progression towards the vocal drop.

Sleeping Faster



Found this on an old house compilation I had lying around, Lo Fidelity Allstars 'Sleeping Faster (General's dub), which had somehow developed scratches rendering it unplayable. I snatched what loops I could and remixed it into a slower, more minimal groove. Definitely on that Norwegian space disco tip.

Splashdown



Interplanetary future disco from the Stratosferic band, the title track from the 1977 LP 'Splashdown'. You can't really get much more cosmic than this!
