#19: Alan Parker – Unlimited Love (The Black Science re-edit [Strut] 2000

Price on Discogs: £5

Teetering on the edge of my £5 rule for this blog is a slice of Alan Parker magic that came under Ashley Beedle's scalpel some 20 years ago. Of course you could pick pretty much anything from Ashley's catalogue (and we probably will in the months ahead) but I stumbled across this today in the corner of the record room and was instantly transported back to happier times, namely getting lost on a dancefloor at Soul Buggin' where this track has been played a few times. The 1976 original is criminally short so Mr Black Science himself does what he always does so infuriating well - by splicing and looping all the best bits for maximum dancefloor carnage (with a few subtle extras dropped in for good measure) that spins you round in such a daze that by the end you're dibbling all down your chin not fully aware what day it is. I haven't really featured edits in this blog yet and for good reason, many are lazy and quite simply not needed but "Unlimited Love" does everything you want it to. It's not reinventing the wheel but it doesn't need to. Just leave you grinning from ear to ear.

Of course, there's an equally incendiary Idjut Boys re-edit on the flip of a certain Keith Mansfield but that's a tale for another day...

#18: Kyle Hall – Kaychunk / You know what I feel [Hyperdub] 2010

Price on Discogs: £3.50

I have no idea what's going on here and I doubt you will either. Probably one of the best twelves to come out of the Hyperdub stable is currently sloshing about on Discogs for under 500 pence. Ten years ago Detroit's Kyle Hall had one of his first UK releases on Kode 9's genre-bending stable and it sounded like Marty McFly had popped back in time to pick us all up and whizz us into the year 3000. One side was a dreamy broken techno trip that had people slapping the ceiling when first dropped at a bank holiday Soul Buggin' party in Nottingham back in 2010 while the flipside was a lush afterparty stretch out. In short, a ridiculous double header that still to this day bangs. Kyle Hall would go on a wonderful run of releases after this but nothing I've heard yet comes close to this futurism and might not ever again. One of the best records of the 21st century for me which I can't quite believe I'm writing. Go get, play loud and watch the floor do the face jacuzzi.

#17: Isolée – Beau Mot Plage (Heaven & Earth Re-Edit) [Classic] 1999

Price on Discogs: £3.00

The last year of the 20th Century danced off into the future with this slice of filth that blew my mind in 1999. All Isolée's records are worth checking. Like all the best producers, he just comes at it from a totally different angle and this beast on Luke Solomon and Derrick Carter's Classic label seemed to shuffle across a few scenes. Crunchy as fook it still bangs. Came with a few remixes that are also worth checking (the Freeform Five rub is particuarly tasty) but this edit just pips it for me, stringing the original out for a little longer. I'd forgotten all about it for a good 10 years or so until I was putting together this blog. Get involved, this goes for hardly anything and will still bend the kids heads.
