The second in an occasional series, whereby the Future Groove vaults are stormed and fresh new mixes unleashed. Vol 1 featured excellent house rerubs from Joystick and Powder Production; both were very well received and cropped up on compilations ranging form DJ Disciple to Nick Warren. Volume 2 features a pair of cracking remixes from two of the premier names on the US progressive tip, Fade and Medway.
Jesse ‘Medway’ Skeen rose to prominence through a series of excellent Hooj Choons releases, plus mixes and releases for the likes of Tune Inn, Fluid and Decipher. His new take on Nimrod’s Data track is a deep and spacey , a subtle pulsing house vibe with sweeping stabs and a tweaky breakdown. The excellent production gives this a real big room sound, and it’s as likely to find favour with the likes of X-Press 2 and Deep Dish as it is the likes of Danny Howells and Nick Warren. Its already been heavily supported by John Digweed, including plays on his Kiss FM shows.
Flip over for the Fade reworking of Inertia. Deep, pumping, very trippy, huge bass for a big rig, again, this has been consistenly hammered by Mssrs Digweed & co. Fade areNeil Kulo & Chris Fortier, the latter widely recognised as one of the leading dj’s on the US scene, and compiler of the forthcoming Bedrock compilation. The previous Inertia single was remixed by Bill Hamel, and was licensed to several compilations.
This release kick starts 2002 for Future Groove, and it looks to be a monster year; forthcoming releases and mixes include contributions from DJ Vibe, Robbie Rivera, ATT, Circulation, Desert, Runner, Ramirez, K&M, Powder, West London Deep, LoudEast, Jamez and Force Mass Motion.
