Deep Dish

They went downhill fast with Flash Dance and when they tied up with Puff Daddy/Tommy Lee for whatever garbage they put out. And I can’t say any of their mixes did anything for me, though my first GU purchase was Moscow and I did enjoy it for a short time. During my internship with BPM magazine, I was their ‘bitch’ for an event, sweet fellas and they were going pretty hard in the green room. Can still smell the ‘coco puffs’ in that room.

Admittedly my vinyl collection is full of Yoshitoshi stuff. I once made a massive purchase from their site, and they ended up sending me doubles by mistake. Still have a bunch of them sealed. Some of the in house we trust mixes weren’t bad. Can’t find it on YouTube, but Brother Brown’s Brotha Brotha is such a banger of a track.

You can’t have spent much time looking.

Sounds a bit dull though tbh, they’ve def made better (Under the Water, Slap Me Some Skin).

hugopal Naaah that video is the Wake Up release - the uploader got it wrong. It’s not brotha brotha.

Comes in around the 24 min mark here - slow burning prog at its finest:

hugopal

rhouses the uploader is Yoshitoshi’s official youtube channel lol.

But yeah it makes a lot more sense that the track in the mix you posted which says ‘Brotha Brotha’ in the lyrics is ‘Brotha Brotha’ and the other track is the B-Side.

I still think Under the Water and Slap Me Some Skin are better though.

rhouses

hugopal lol Must be the same guy who sent me doubles of my vinyl order.

Will give those two tracks a twirl, must have heard it before.

Brother Brown at Fabric was good. Must’ve been 1999/2000. Under the water a definite highlight. Love that tune. Starecase with an underrated take on it too. Prefer it to the breeder mixes.

Yeah funnily enough I’ve been listening to that this morning.

BlainSA I can remember them doing some review in DJ Mag slating the Breeder mix.

Remember that Mohammed is Jesus. They were very prophetic

BlainSA

alistair Don’t think they could get away with that now. Same with Lexicon Avenue and Midnight on West 27th

Saw Danny Howell finish a gig at the Electrowerks with the Starecase mix of Under the Water. Was Red Jerry’s night in about 2001. Scones

Who is the “them” you refer to?

Dan

I’ll always be grateful for DD for signing this beauty.

nicksneddon

Deep Dish I would imagine

Dan

Cheers Nick.

Dan Cheers Nick.

But why would they be slagging off a remix which they released on their own label in a national magazine?!

Dan

hugopal I’ve no idea it was on their label. Maybe it was initially signed to another label? I’m not trawling through Discogs.

The Breeder versions weren’t on the original 1999 Yoshitoshi release.

The Breeder remix and dub were initially released on Acetate and then on FFRR in the UK and Europe, also in 1999. But soon after those Yoshitoshi put out a CD single of the track which did have the Breeder remix on.

Then in 2000 Yoshitoshi put out a ‘Remixes’ 2×12 which had both the Breeder remix and dub.

Very odd behaviour if they’d publicly slagged it off not long beforehand.

Sounds like Dan’s telling porkies.
