An all-time favourite of mine since I first heard it in '81 on 4ZZZ!! (showing my age). I waited years for the 12 inch to show up but no luck, so I bought the compilation CD of the same name a little while ago, expecting mostly primal screaming and arty nonsense. WRONG AGAIN!! An abundance of great tunes in a variety of genres that defy the era in which they were recorded. There are several more just begging to be chopped and/or dubbed up! Anyway, the main (selfish!) reason I did this was to give the Elsewhere crew an excuse to play it, and so far there have been positive reports. I tried not to leave my grubby fingerprints all over it, but the kick and bassline have been gently reinforced here and there. The breakdown in the middle is the original one, minus Yoko's live recording of her vomiting!! (I didn't want any sideways punters to stampede the bathrooms - makes the DJ look bad). On a more sombre note, this was the track that John and Yoko apparently were working on the day he died.

"Mrs. Pood'fy" is the collaboration of "the missus" and Elsewhere all-star all-rounder DJ Pood'fy. This is one of those tracks that I know but I just don't know where I know it from... kinda. Anyway, see if it works for you...

Hear those moogs wail! A 120 bpm house remix of a Numan classic.

If you are looking for a mid-tempo up-beat disco number to get the party started, try this remix of the first track from T-connection's 1977 debut album "Magic". I've let the Jupiter 8 loose on it towards the end to give a bit of a cosmic vibe....

This track by the 'scorch hasn't been finished, but while I was working on it, I found certain parts seemed to work as a sort of four/four electro-dub track. Possibly. Just make up a genre if you can't classify it. Check out the Butterscorch myspace for more hilarity.

This track was subliminally lodged in my head, possibly from exposure to seventies radio when I was young. In recent years it would pop into my head with some dance beats over it - I thought it must have been Betty Davis or some ballsy funk or soul singer from the US. One day I sang the chorus to Bill at Atlantis records to see if he could ID it for me. I could barely believe it was by a then-young Australian singer by the name of Alison McCallum. It took a year before a copy of the 1973 record found it's way to the racks at Bill's shop, and I could finally get to work! Here I've given it a Moroder-style treatment.

My attempt at a tribute to a couple of Scotsmen who were major musical heroes of mine in the early eighties, and whose ongoing success seemed to be jinxed. Their first three albums are "The Affectionate Punch" 1981, "Fourth Drawer Down" 1981, and the amazing "Sulk" 1982, especially recommended. If you only hear one song by these guys, go seek out "Party Fears Two" off "Sulk" (you may still be able to audition it on youtube). Play it twice, or even better find a good copy on CD or vinyl, so that you'll die happy knowing that you've heard one of the greatest piano riffs ever recorded in popular music.

A mind-blowingly good Aussie band from the seventies, with a seriously great singer (Carol Lloyd). Their debut album of the same name is now available on CD. This was a single in 1974, and charted across the country. On the album it has a full orchestral intro and outro that is just sublime. (There is a mix I did last year where I've tried to segue these parts from the record with my remix. It gives you an idea, but I recommend getting the album!). I have to admit, this remix has probably not done the original justice, but I had to filter out a lot of the vocals to get it to work - Carol's got a big voice! The main attraction is that Stonesy-type guitar (and clav?) hook, and that unforgettable overblown flute riff...

Well what can you say about Todd? What a legend! Check out some of the Utopia albums from the seventies if you like power pop with a quirky bombast! This track I found on a vinyl double LP comp from the early eighties. It finds him in pensive self-examination. I was listening to this record in the dark while lying on the floor - it just completely enveloped me! Hopefully my remix has preserved that vibe.

UK group with a distinctive vocal. Some great vocal breakdowns in this remix, although it's not for everyone!

Another great Aussie band. Someone sent me this track as an mp3 and I didn't pay much attention at first, then later after a few listens the remix crystallised in my head. A few DJs have played this out and it really works. I think this was the band's first self-released track - they were later signed to Modular, who weren't interested in my remix. The band were working on more material for an album, but sadly I have just discovered they have now broken up.

Belles Will Ring are an Australian band. "Mad Love" was a single for them in 2007. I heard it on JJJ and it blew me away. It had a jangly sixties sound and big guitar and vocal hooks that I really liked. I wanted to see if I could get that big uplifting sound to work in a dance club, even though it was such a "rock" track. I always seem to be hopeful of this - check my remix of Jeff Buckley's "Last Goodbye" and the Plug In City remix above. Overall I think it works, at least when I've played it in my sets, but you gotta pick your battles, as it were. ;-)
