'Nick Holder’s acclaimed ‘The Other Side’ album gets fully remixed by an all star line up, including Ian Pooley, Pete Rock, John Ciafone, A Man Called Adam and Chicken Lips. ‘The Other Side’, released last Summer, showcased Nick Holder’s explorations into deep house, hip hop, r&b, reggae and Balearic dance. The album has been heavily supported by a series of stellar 12� singles, remixed by a plethora or high quality names. ‘The Other Mixes’ collects these reworkings on one CD.
The original version of Nick Holder’s ‘No More Dating DJs’ received amazing support from Radio 1’s Giles Peterson and Trevor Nelson as well as the likes of Mr. Scruff and Patrick Forge. John Ciafone from the legendary Mood II Swing supplies a beautiful skippy house version that utilises the full vocal lyric from Jemini. US hip-hop legend Pete Rock also stamps his seal of approval over this hot track with a deep and psychedelic hip hop mixes. Pete Rock, along with CL Smooth, defined the sound of the genre with early productions such as ‘They Reminisce Over You’ and ‘Act Like You Know’ and has collaborated with the likes of Run DMC, Mary J Blige and Shabba Ranks. Ian Pooley’s Vocal Mix of ‘On My Mind’ is delivered in a classic deep swing garage style, evoking shades of Jazz ‘n’ Groove, Mousse T and Joey Negro and reminiscent of his recent killer remix of Crazy Penis on Paper , whilst the Pooley Dub Mix will feed the deep 4/4 heads with a groovy hypnotic rework.
UK names Solid Groove and Freaks tackle ‘Bad Girl’ and ‘My Friendly Neighbour’ respectively, and provide a couple of fresh dancefloor mixes. Chicken Lips play it deep, down and dirty on ‘Player 1’ with an early house flashback, whilst A Man Called Adam orchestrate a cinematic and shimmering remix of ‘Back Again’ for those sunset moments. Pulling up the rear is Harmonic 33 (AKA Jedi Knight’s Mark Pritchard) with some very tasty hip hop tempo mixes of ‘History In The Making’. |
