Marina Van-Rooy 'Sly One' (greg wilson edit) by gregwilson published on 2013-05-08T14:23:49Z Marina Van-Rooy ‘Sly One’ (greg wilson edit) 128 bpm Previously exclusive mp3 only via Mixmag 2013. Back in 1989-91 I was working extensively out of Amazon Studios in Kirby, Liverpool, producing and mixing the Ruthless Rap Assassins, as well as Mind Body & Soul and Sensuround. Also using the studios during this period were Liverpool dance collective 8 Productions, consisting of Ian Martin Wright, Steve Cummerson, Pete Davies and, of course, Peter Coyle, formely of the Lotus Eaters, who’d scored a UK hit in 1983 with ‘The First Picture Of You’. We became friendly as a result, and would often play each other our works in progress – it was certainly something of a mutual appreciation society. ‘Sly One’ was their jewel in the crown – recorded with singer Marina Van-Rooy, it quickly became a cult classic and was snapped up by Haçienda DJ Mike Pickering, who was then head of A&R at Deconstruction, for a full release on the label, although the chart success we all presumed would follow failed to materialise. 8 would also issue tracks by artists including The Donny And Marie Handbag Revolution and Connie Lush, but their greatest triumph was the club night G-Love, which was the early 90’s forerunner to Cream, promoted in conjunction with the local record store 3 Beat and legendary Liverpool DJ John Kelly. The edit is true to the original, with no additional elements. It’s something I’ve played out a number of times since I put it together last year, and was most recently featured in the mix from London’s Loft Studios: http://soundcloud.com/gregwilson/the-date-loft-studios-london Greg Wilson – May 2013 Check out my label's music at: https://superweirdsubstance.bandcamp.com Genre Re-Edit Comment by Tommy-Bomb BUMPIN 2016-03-06T17:50:11Z Comment by Neil Smallridge Thanks! 2014-10-04T09:28:34Z Comment by ant_rad sweet. 2014-08-13T21:46:31Z Comment by Mr.Smithson How anyone could say the soundsystem in the Hac was no good had never heard this dropped....Wonderful , Wonderful track that tore the roof off everytime Parky and Graeme played it. 2013-10-12T15:25:08Z Comment by JC One of my all time fave tunes! 2013-09-07T22:50:23Z Comment by ExpatMichael I certainly had my copy.
