Feel my Bicep

Stubled across this edit on the Greg Wilson essential mix, such a standout tune as it is so familiar but the tweaks make it special! listed in various tracklistings as The Clash – Casbah Breakdown (Joey Negro mix) but released at the title states.  If you hadn’t guessed this is an edit of “The Clash – Rock the Casbah”, but unlike the original this version doesn’t give the played-out feel…you know the Wethersoons special disco 3 min radio cut. Like Joakim’s remix of Cut Copy’s ‘hearts on fire’ this demonstrated perfect use of saxophone!

Nice little edit of the new-wave classic ‘Psycho Killer’…….from a good while ago by Greg Wilson, fairly sympathetically done, with just a little bit of cow bell and some of the live recording crowds sweeping in and out, nice, rustic and much more dj friendly.

The Galactic Captain of the edit makes bodies move with this groove from the heart & soul; “Sacrificial Soul” plunges the percussive depths of San Fran’s finest jam moments of 1969 and comes up modulating for more. Seriously enlightened cuts from the creator and originator. No 7 in the Rvng Of The Nrds series Check it!

We have the reel master serving up a couple of slick, friendly edits/mashes. First up some classic hip hop from Dubble D and Rakim… although it has been sampled to death, you gotta love some of the old school scratch sampling…always fresh!

This is the first of a couple of edits Greg sent us… Much like the original the tune maintains it chiago jack but also manages to maintain a grove…dark acidic spacey! not to be missed.

Greg Wilson was one of the first DJs in the UK to mix two records together. He was a resident at the legendary Wigan Pier in the 1970-s and 1980-s. In 1983 he became the first DJ to host a weekly dance music night at Manchester Hacienda. Greg was the first DJ to mix live on British TV. He stopped DJing in 1984, but picked up his headphones again in 2003, playing at the likes of The Electric Chair, Fabric and Basics to widespread acclaim.
