This will be a treat to anyone who has ever felt a prang of nostalgia when casting their mind back to an earlier, more innocent clubbing era. New State Music has spent what was no doubt a ridiculous amount of time trying to sift through years and years of records in order to select 20 quality cuts crying out for re-appraisal. And the results look nothing short of stunning.
Hard To Find: Classic & Rare Remixes is available now, and boasts a truly unique tracklist. So that will be Underworld doing the do to William Orbit’s Water From A Line Leaf, Norman Cook reworking A Tribe Called Quest, Neneh Cherry getting remixed by Arthur Baker, Leftfield’s Open Up falling under the influence of the Chemical Brothers, Andrew Weatherall’s timeless version of Saint Etienne’s Only Love Can Break Your Heart, and Sasha changing the tempo on D:Ream’s UR The Best Thing, alongside work from the likes of Todd Terry, Renegade Soundwave, David Morales, and A Certain Ratio.
