Makin’ Moves bring this archived studio gem to the fore as it was just too damn good to be left sitting on the drive! Rewind back to 2005 and a chance studio meeting in London between Bugz in the Attic producer Afronaught aka Orin Walters and Justin Chapman aka Just One, who was in town to play a gig with the Bugz crew. The two decided to work on some tracks, and this one captures a time in London where there was a huge melting pot of new sounds in the broken beat era / scene and that sound was at the forefront of London’s club scene including night’s like Co-op at Plastic People in Shoreditch. However, these sounds still have stayed the test of time and very prominent still in clubland today.
Justin’s vocals touch on the persistence of race in American politics – an issue that was as real in the aftermath of hurricane Katrina is it is in the post George Floyd era.
Phil Asher (RIP) at the time loved the track and decided to do his own “Restless Soul Dub” remix version, adding his characteristic drums and stripping the vocal back while also keeping the soulfulness of Justin’s mix.
Also featured on the package are two other mixes the excellent Blaktones Mix is must have for all the co-op broken beat heads, seeing Afronaught using those classic sounds to full effect to set the party off!
A1. Just One Mix
A2. Restless Soul Dub
B1. Blaktonez Mix
B2. Naut’s L8 night Dub
We’re back with part two of our bank holiday series at Grow in Hackney Wick on Sunday 24th August! Our last event sold out in record time so make sure you’re in the house for this one!
The brand has become a trusted name in the house scene, bringing people together through quality music and dancefloor connection. We’re kicking things off in the early evening sunshine with soulful vibes from 6pm on the terrace, with Joe Cox— an open minded selector known for his Open House parties and weekly show on HouseFM. Expect deep digs and feel-good grooves as they work through their extensive vinyl collections.
As night draws in, the party moves indoors to the club space, where Matt and Jamesey take over with their signature blend of fresh releases and timeless house cuts from the Makin’ Moves catalogue. Joining them for a very special set is Leigh Howlett from Our House music, probably one of the Uk’s most under rated djs but always brings the quality. He’s also one part of Our House Music alongside Randy Peterson putting on top soulful house events in London.
