Remixes for classic artists and break-through new artists. Multitrack 2 inch tapes from Quincy Jones and Third World’s famous Jamaican studios. The amazing Olympic Studios in Barnes (5 mins from my SW13 apartment), Townhouse Studios in Shepherds Bush, PWL in London. My first ever remix done in a New York studio next to the legendary Studio 54 club. Incredible times for a lucky lad from Gravesend..
Some things you do just by nature. Promoted this record, remixed it and organised an incredible personal appearance for this wonderful artist. In the right place at the right time to just do my EG thing. I was lucky.

The Love I Dub bounced around in the Ministry of Sounds club for months and months thanks to a 13 minute mix that the USA and UK House music DJ’s loved playing, which was great because that is exactly why it was produced the way it turned out – deep and dark. more coming soon.
Alisha is Mica Paris’s sister and can sing the houses down but never really hit the heights of her younger kin – the percussion on this track “Touch Me” on RCA was the first time Louie Vega of Masters At Work was used on a UK production after bringing him in from New York. He went on to become very famous whilst Alisha did great session work. She was wonderful to work with. Listening back now her Mic is too bassy on this mix. “Touch Me” song was sampled by the 49er’s who had a huge hit with their version of Touch Me worldwide. Enjoy by clicking more..
Remixing this classic was amazing as we received the Multi Track tapes direct from Compass Studios in Nassau with all the band members writing on the track sheets describing the sounds in their own Jamaican language. It was like touching genuis. We did this remix for DMC as a gift for all their members worldwide. It sounds dated now on the sampling but we did this in 1993 – computers have come on a long way now. The timbali drums, kick and bass are well put together though. Click more to hear….
