It’s all too easy to jump on the bandwagon and spout some nonsense about how edits are shite now and they have been ‘done to death’ etc. In fairness this is partly true, frankly we’ve been long since had our fill. However every so often an edit will stand out, the best example being JV’s ‘Channel XX Edits’ record of 2012, recently reissued and still sought after. This record kicks it with the best of them, sold as a ‘mysterious’ one off, super limited and ‘will sell fast;’
‘Put together by a legendary NY record store owner from a personal stash of edits constructed for back in the day club play, which still sound super fresh and effective today !’

Bottom line is, we love it and it’s sure to get an airing on our radio show ‘Crucial und Fresh!’ on MEATtransMISSION radio tonight. Joining us live in the mix is none other than Joe Lye of Amp + Deck. This summer saw him enjoy a residency at We Love Sundays at Space so expect a party.
