Brand new rework from me is out today! This time for somebody who has been a friend since the day we met pretty much exactly this week, 21 years ago. I met @jakeshears first when we both went were playing at Body Rockers (short lived night at Cynthia’s Robotic Bar in London Bridge during the Electroclash days) but unfortunately the @scissorsisters couldn’t perform live due to some technical issue on stage, think they got thru one song and I had to come back on to DJ.. we invited the band to come play at @trashclublondon the following Monday (16th September 2002 to be exact) and that night cemented a bond between the band and everybody in the club. They’d be there every Monday they were in turn, and we’d be at their London parties and shows, it was beautiful to watch them grow into one of the biggest bands around.. I reworked ‘I don’t Feel Like Dancing’ in 2006 even though I must admit, at the time I had no idea which way it could turn out, but I suppose that’s the exciting part.. it’s still one of my favourite reworks. When I was asked if I’d rework a track from Jake’s new record I immediately went for Doses and made something directly for my own Dj sets. I love @bigfreedia’s vocals which run throughout and used a bit of @janefonda from another track on the album. It’s been part of my Dj sets for a couple of months and I’m pleased to say you can listen to it (alongside a remix from @hifisean ) via the link in my bio.
