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:

            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.

                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.

                    Remember that Mohammed is Jesus. They were very prophetic

                      BlainSA Starecase with an underrated take on it too

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

                        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

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

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

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

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

                                Who is the “them” you refer to?

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

                                      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.

                                              bosstrabs

                                              Hot take.

                                              Half you retards loved “Breezer” before it came out.

                                              “Ohhhhhh coooorrrrreee is The Man Like playing Envelope Packet!?!?!?!?!?!? MENTAL! I want to kiss him on the lips”

                                              EDIT yeah I kinda did to.

                                                  bosstrabs Got kicked out of Arc in New York for running to a corner of the dance floor and taking a massive bump because Sharam took over the decks from Dubfire. Could never get behind Sharam.

                                                      jonattonyeah Breezer was on Toronto, not Moscow. 🤓

                                                      First CD of Toronto is actually decent, the second one is shocking. Dug out the Afterparty-mixes lately, and they’re actually great. Even Sharam’s.

                                                        Old-Dutch I was at that! Went to a bunch of Elements nights… Did ya catch Shem play there with a broken arm?!?

                                                            Dump? God you’re disgusting

                                                            Rhouses, did you ever happen to go to Sankeys and use the bogs?

                                                            I mean like every weekend from 1995 until it closed?

                                                              Old-Dutch Music was amazing. But as someone who was learning to DJ at the time, was incredible to watch him mix seamlessly with one hand… 🤯

                                                                The only one of their GU discs which was alright was Disc 1 of Moscow (skipping the Dido if you must).
