We're very proud to bring you Gottwax EP1, the first release on our brand new label. Running a label is something we have always dreamt of - with our fifth birthday looming, now seemed like the perfect time to branch out. We have always been 100% focused on running the festival, but we thought that expanding on our ideals and putting out a record would allow us to help the artists, who have helped us for the last few years, gain further exposure.
The inaugural 'Gottwax EP1' is a 180-gram heavyweight record limited to 300 copies, it has been complied in conjunction with Nixwax and features exclusive tracks from BEHR, OJsmooth, Rob Amboule and eLDOKO - all of whom appeared on the Nixwax stage at last year's Gottwood festival.

In den zurückliegenden 24 Monaten konnte der Berliner DJ Wankelmut den Hype um seinen No. 1 Remix "One Day / Reckoning Song" dahingehend weiterentwickeln, dass er heute als eine feste Größe in der Electronic Music Szene gilt. Sein gelungener Hybrid Sound zwischen aktuellem Clubsound mit einer dezenten Prise Popmusik kommt europaweit gut an. Mit seiner ersten eigenen Single "My Head Is A Jungle" vom Sommer 2013 blickt er auf hohe Chartpositionen in mehreren europäischen Ländern und über 100.000 verkaufte Einheiten zurück. Auch seine aktuelle Hitsingle "Wasted So Much Time" feat. John LaMonica entwickelt sich zum Radio- und Clubhit. Darüber hinaus bestreitet Wankelmut jährlich ca. 100 DJ Shows weltweit und liefert mit seinen Remixes kontinuierlich Nachschub für seine Fans.

Nun präsentiert uns Wankelmut den zweiten Teil seiner Mix CD-Reihe "Wankelmoods"."Wankelmoods Vol. 1" zählte zu den wichtigsten Mix CD's 2013 und fing in einem exzellenten Mix gekonnt den Sound zwischen Deep & Tech House ein, für den Wankelmut bekannt und beliebt ist. Der neue Mix beinhaltet auch reichlich neues, eigenes Material aus Wankelmuts Berliner Studio. So gibt es die neue Single "Wasted So Much Time" feat. John LaMonica genauso zu hören, wie den brandneuen Remix für den französischen Sänger "Talisco". Ebenfalls top aktuell ist ein Exklusivtrack in Gestalt des Wankelmut Remixes für Ferdinand Dreyssig & Marvin Heys "Coeur De La Nuit", einem der größten Clubtracks 20

GB drops the 1st of 3 EPs exploring what he calls "technoindigenous studies" which meld ethnic field recordings with analogue electronic textures. LTD hand stamped.

There's no secrets here, Archipel always dreamed to feature Move D on a release, one day. That said, there's questions here but to say this release is more than a milestone, it is also the conclusion of many hopes made together a fine vinyl release named "Silent Voices EP" It features Move D along with Montreal's finest new talent, DJ HEAR who both worked out 3 magnificent, melodic, yet very hypnotizing tracks. Ranging from unidentified techno to spaced out momentum builder, these tracks aren't for the faint at heart DJ, but you can expect gratification for the floor reaction to an automatic immersion into another world

The first in Midnight Shift's remix series sees festival headliners Deetron and Secret Cinema provide their dancefloor interpretation to
the label's debut release. Basic Soul Unit's cool A2 'Black Ice' is re-edited by none other than Deetron, the Swiss native with a prolific
and starry discography to his name. He turns Black Ice on its head, leading with its running bassline first while letting its crystal notes
be polished to a bright, blinding shine.
Already much supported by the likes of Nick Höppner, Shackleton, Josh Wink, Bleak and Dixon,
Eddie Niguel's 'Absolute' has been circling the circuit to great effect. Here, Netherland's Secret Cinema aka Jeroen Verheij pumps the
mental factor up sideways with an infectious, relentless groove that holds back just enough to keep you wanting more.
Midnight Shift will also be launching its first Label Showcase night at Velvet Underground, Zouk Singapore on 13 April 2013 with
Deetron and Eddie Niguel on the bill. Coming soon to a dancefloor near you: RMX001.

The original album by Laurent Garnier incl. 'The Man With The Red Face', 'The Sound Of The Big Babou', 'Greed (Part 1+2)' . VINYL BACK IN STOCK

Young blood is the theme for Retrofit so far in 2014. Following the successes of his recent EP's on Jimpster's Freerange Records and John Talabot's Hivern Discs, Barcelona-based Kresy contributes a pair of warm, summery house cuts for the A-side. He crafts a pair of immersive environments with lush melodies that meander casually around their insistent grooves.

On the other hand we have Borai. The Bristolian best known for his excellent contributions to the rising Tasteful Nudes imprint gives us a much darker impression. While 'Mingo' and 'Albatross' seem to soundtrack an oceanside sunset, 'Nightfall' and 'Chromosphere' are clearly meant for the late hours of the night.

Fast making his way on the underground circuit, rising star Samu.l is back onboard One Records home ground delivering his first single release for the label with the entrancingly dark and driving monster 'Invitations'. Rolling with effortless groove and an all encompassing depth in the atmospherics, this is essential DJ weaponry perfect for the late hours or early morning. Warmly welcomed to the label we see the highly talented Martin Buttrich conjure up a powerful remix true to his distinct style, with a grumbling bassline and sonic force that will undoubtedly dominate any dance floor at peak time, complemented with a raw and chugging dub version to complete the ultimate package.

Hailing from the Midlands themselves both Subb-an and Adam Shelton are proud to have fellow Birmingham artist Tom Reynolds aka Samu.l as part of the crew. After making his first appearance on the label early last year with 'Innocent' on a v/a sampler, Samu.l soon became a name everyone was talking about. Towards the end of the year he firmly planted his feet in the One family playing at their infamous Below party and with a stellar remix of Hector's 'Stoned Raiders' for the label. Releases have also been on the likes of Surface Recordings, Dogmatik and Infuse, with a much anticipated remix for Subb-an due on Nic Fanciulli's Saved Records next year.

Wanting to secure the perfect remix for this release, the One boys called upon Desolat co-founder Martin Buttrich, a friend and artist who they highly respect. Being a hug fan of his work, Samu.l and Buttrich have also formed a connection over the last year appearing together on a number of line-ups. When not playing at the likes of Loco Dice's Used and Abused night in Ibiza, where he also played with Guy Gerber at his Wisdom Of The Glove night at Pacha, Buttrich is releasing on the labels such as Minus, Supplement Facts and his own Desolat. Watch out for a release also coming on Carl Craig's Planet E in February next year.

Attributed with putting out the first release for Madrid-based vinyl only label Depaart Limited is Welshman Bradley Alberties aka Blured. Inspired by the roughness and rawness of industrial Detroit techno, Blured brings his deep, creative flair with a 4 track EP of uniquely differing house and techno styles.

Breach opened his BBC Radio 1 Essential Mix with track Feel This, a stripped-back house roller that has been dominating dance-floors all over, while Gerry Read comes to the fore with a heavy-weight remix of Everybody knows.

Elesewhere rhythmically unfolding house sounds, techno-fused grooves and well-crafted vocal samples characterise the rest of the EP, an EP that not only serves as a fine introduction into the sounds of Blured, but simultaneously showcases the musical ethos of Depaart Limited and what they're all about.

New Nation! A very strong split 12" from D'Marc Cantu (2 AM/FM) + The Maniacs (Traxx & James T Cotton).

Back in 1986, a track was released with an infectious lyric. Fast forward 25 years and this message from Marshall Jefferson has never been more relevant and reflective of today's musical spectrum. Ministry of Sound proudly presents; 'Gotta Have House Music, All Night Long'.



After huge chart hits from Disclosure, Duke Dumont, Storm Queen, Chris Malinchak, Breach, Klangkarrusell, Ben Pearce, Faul & Wad Ad, Kiesza, Mr. Probz and Route 94, house music is once again at the height of its peak and it therefore only seems right to pay homage to where it all began by chronicling the biggest tunes in House Music's history right up to the present day.



We kick off with the epic 'I Wanna Feel' from Second City, which looks set to be this summer's biggest dance hit before moving into a fusion of classic anthems from Kings of Tomorrow, Maurice, Pete Heller and George Morel amongst modern day smashes from Ben Pearce, MK, Klangkarussell and Tensnake. We start CD2 with the legendary 'Your Love' from the godfather of house Frankie Knuckles before venturing through the future hit 'It's You' from FCL, the huge #1 record from Storm Queen and the 'original house music anthem' 'Move Your Body' from Marshall Jefferson and end in a plethora of seminal records from Royal House, Aly-Us and CJ Bolland. Last but not least we end our journey on CD3 with one of this year's biggest tracks in 'My Love' from Route 94 alongside the huge new single 'Always' from MK and end with tracks from Duke Dumont, Gorgon City, Steve Silk Hurley, The Bucketheads and loads more.



This truly is the only album that you've just 'Gotta Have' this summer.

Unreleased Kenny Dixon Jr. remix of Sloppy Cosmic off his most recent self-titled album, features Funkadelic, for the ultimate funk mind fuck!
On the B-side, is a new, unreleased single from UK soul-pop singer, Charlotte OC, gets remixed by Detroit icon, Kenny Dixon Jr., a/k/a Moodymann.

Freche Fruchte present 4 tracks of deep underground house music.
The lead track comes from man of the moment James Johnston "Turn around" is an elegant deep houser with a solid timeless feel, next up on the A side is a dark and deep house track with a gospel influence and a ridiculously large bassline from Robert Reinartz with "Praise him".

The lead track on the AA side is the result of a collaboration between Leigh D Oliver and label boss Alex Alterskye who present a house track bursting with energy and groove, and finally Lewis P strips things back with a major underground house workout!

eddie c is back with excellent sleezy disco house on endless flight!
eddie c is back with excellent sleezy disco house on endless flight!

"want to please" on a1 is funky disco sampled house stuff. it's all around dj tool.

"first chair" on a2 is slow mo cosmic house. it's for the fan of daniele baldelli to theo parrish.

"help me" on b1 is typical eddie c's beatdown house and "help you" on b2 is like dub version.

all tracks are simple but well done. it's rare these days!!

Chesslo Junior comes to Kelpe's Drut Recordings for his first ever vinyl release - a 6 track EP of house tempo jams and avant garde beat sculptures: 'Long Hum'. With previous releases on Wotnot as well as numerous self released hip hop bootlegs, Chesslo becomes the first artist other than Kelpe to release on his fledgeling label.

Moving beyond the 808 swagger of his earlier material, these cuts are spacious experiments that absorb everything from the darker reaches of the house spectrum to wayward beat-music. As it's name suggests this is a thoughtful record, more mature than previous outings, and finding flow like an album but condensed into a neat six track package of varying styles and tempos.

During the six month period of its production Chesslo worked in a music library by day, locating mood-appropriate songs for commercials. Hours sifting through vacant scores of ad music stirred in him a taste for the opposite. Distorted sounds and saturated textures stood as creative antidotes to the hollow ephemera of commercial muzak.

Launched with fresh inspiration, the record was an experimental journey into new methods of expression. The ghostly harmonised vocals on Get A Grip are Junior's first attempt to experiment with his own voice. He also invested in new tools: the EP's organic quality owes a lot to found sounds captured with newly acquired field-recording devices and the help of an old Hammond unearthed in Muswell Hill. Full to the nines with a whole range of careful sound design, the record reveals more about itself with every listen.

This is an EP that beckons you to tread further into the mind of this promising young producer. Up until now, Chesslo has been recognized as a producer defined by a playful roster of beat-jams and floor-friendly bangers, but Long Hum really throws back the curtain on the scale of Chesslo's talent and ambition.

Sharivari Records is back with two deep house cuts from the vault. First one is a re-issue of the classic Our Music by Trackheadz

aka Nick Holder, one of Toronto's finest underground producers since the 90's. On the flip, Estonian producer Microphunk and

Houseriders team up for a dubby and trippy house tune. Pressed on colored vinyl.

Reports of a brutal massacre have been surfacing from various social media platforms in the last few hours. Eyewitness reports of the aftermath have said 'there were pieces of skinny jeans everywhere!' and 'the stench of burnt beard hung heavy in the air'

Groups known as Y.C.O and D.S.O have laid claim to the attack that is now thought to have been carried out through the use of some sort of highly advanced, possibly extra terrestrial, sonic weaponry.

They have responded to the incident with the following message - 'The rising hipster population has lead to turgid levels of melodic dilution. In urgent response we, with the help of our other worldly comrades, intergalactic vibe warriors and defenders of the jack - THE DEEP SPACE ORCHESTRA have instigated a cull to reclaim the dancefloors from the chinstrokers, the stationary, the sedentary instafans, handing them back to the jackers, the movers, the freaks and the underground. Y . C . O'.

Welcome Nr.2! Tiefenherz is proud to continue its house release with the
amazing Erfurter Sven U.K. We will get an insight of the soon published new
Album of Sven, who is well known as R:eboerk since 2011.

'Save the Thrill' is the message! Pure thrill - properly placed trumpet will
be carried by sophisticated percussions and complimented by demanding
vocals. Beautiful and forceful house with sensitive and magnetic influences
as well as masterful complementary piano riffs.

'Buster Crabbe & Buck Rogers' is an insperational interpretation of heros of
the 25th century. Buster Crabbe, is also known as the legendary Flash
Gordon, who represents the science-fiction hero Buck Rogers. Buck fights a
number of villains from the mars and the outer space and we get a musical
insight in the task of Buck Rogers. The piece is dominated by the piano and
a thrilling bass line similar to the fight with his arch-rival Killer Kane.
We hope the good will win against the intented world domination of Killer
Kane...

German...

R:eboerk Traxx // Out of her Depth

Welcome Nr.2! Tiefenherz freut sich mit dem Erfurter Urgestein Sven U.K.
seine erlesene Reihe an House Releases fortzuführen. Wir erhalten einen
Einblick in das demnächst erscheinende Album von Sven, welcher sich seit dem
Jahre 2011 unter R:eboerk einen Namen gemacht hat.

'Save the Thrill' ist die Ansage! Nervenkitzel pur im Arrangement - korrekt
platzierte Bläser werden getragen von ausgefeilten Percussions und ergänzt
von fordernden Vocals. Schöner druckvoller House mit leicht detroitigen
Einflüssen und gekonnt komplettiert von Piano Riffs.

'Buster Crabbe & Buck Rogers' ist die Inspiration für die Interpretation des
Superhelden im 25.Jahrhundert. Buster Crabbe, welcher sich auch als
Darsteller des legendären Flash Gordon einen Namen machte, verkörpert die
Person des Science-Fiction Helden Buck Rogers. Buck ist im Kampf gegen die
Tigermenschen vom Mars und allerlei Bösewichte aus dem Weltraum schwer
vereinnahmt und wir bekommen einen musikalischen Einblick in die Aufgaben
Buck Roger's. Das Stück wird dominiert von einer Piano Hook und einer
durchdringenden Bassline die sich unaufhörlich in die Magengrube gräbt,
ähnlich wie ein Handgemenge was Buck Rogers mit seinem Erzrivalen Killer
Kane ausfechtet. Wir hoffen das Gute siegt gegen die angestrebte
Weltherrschaft von Killer Kane...

The Beautiful Granville Days Volumes are a series of outtakes, remixes, and previously unreleased recordings from the operating days of the label Beautiful Granville Records. Some of the tracks are simply making their first appearances on vinyl. Check!

We will use this opportunity to pressnt you the new record label Tit0 ( tit zero recordings ) by Serbia's famous dj and producer Dejan Milicevic. The label is in a way the very crown of Dejan's work by now and is also a window into his musical taste, well combined techno with a house flavour.After 17 years of dj career and all of the parties, after parties, events, festivals and clubs all around the world Dejan is trying to unite the support from the audience, friendships, contacts and collaborations into this project so take a close listen. It took a while to make Tit0 but it is profiled with some high quality stuff that will be presented in years to come. The project is one big cooperation with regional and international artists and we are proud to present the first release with legendary dj Rush from Chicago on the microphone, slamming it on a 303, 808, 909 roland flavoured track 'Hear the Claps' in his very familiar way. The artwork of digital releases is made by a famous Serbian artist known as Johnny Rackowitz (Dzoni Rackovic) and was a part of his exhibition in the number one gallery in Belgrade called FLU, all artworks were made by hand. The curiosity of the project is of course vinyl release. The release date is late March 2014 and the plans for the close future are 5 releases in a very Tit0 style. Thank You all for the support and stay tuned to tit zero channel.

Argy returns to Memento after remixing Italys' house stars Pastaboys, this time teaming up with one of the country's hottest and internationally renowned producers, Alex Picone.

The two of them have released on some of the most revered contemporary record labels: from Cocoon to Cadenza, from Defected to Poker Flat, from Ibadan to Bosconi Records, the list goes on.

Their two-tracker opens with 'Eternal Moment': after an epic old-school synth intro, the booming kick drum leads the way to a galloping acid rumble and to an orgy of claps and hi hats, until the vicious vocal snippets welcome the uplifting and joyous melody.

'This Is How It Goes' follows the same path with sick percussions and hi hat's frenzy, while the bass line and the synth play along harmonically. Sudden breaks give a sense of suspended groove, cleverly designed to bring the rhythm back soon after in a burst of energy.

The guys here are showing their impressive skills in crafting this ambitious ep: after just one listen, it's clear how these tunes stand out from the ordinary mess it's more and more likely to find in the market today. With a hint to house music's history and legacy, they have reworked the genre's distinctive features, making them as fresh and cutting edge as they haven't been in a long time.

RON TRENT is back with a dance floor groove with vocals by the man himself. This steady groove is for those who still like to bust a sweat on the dance floor and still look cool. B-side is more of the same but RON takes it a step further with a piano laying down textures that will take you away. HOUSE

This first 12 contains new versions from Daniel Avery (Phantasy), who released a striking debut album last year, as well as a string of much-played 12' singles.

The 12" also contains a remix from Invisible Conga People (DFA), which marks the return of this elusive act, who recorded a fan-fave 12' for DFA in 2011, and have not been heard from since.

New T.P with mixes from Carl Craig and Monty Luke.

only 1x copy each customer !!

The return of the Black Ops sub label from the SLEAZYBEATS crew...

It's been a good while since the last Black Ops missive - that Max Graef & Andy Hart 12" that sold out in a heartbeat and is now changing hands for seriously silly money on the used circuit - but good things come to those who wait.

The Sleazy Beats chaps welcome Saine to the fold, a Finnish producer with a bunch of great releases on the likes of Odd Socks and Musthave Records under his belt, who is equally at home dabbling with instrumental Hip Hop or churning out raw MPC-style beatdown grooves.

It's the latter that's on offer on this here Business Hours EP.

Tenfold on the A is a driving stomper with sharp synth stabs and a spaced out vocal that is bound to creep out the Ket heads that are still standing up in the wee hours.

Flip over for Worker, a chunky mid-tempo workout that's deep as, and comes with a lovely vocal sample to keep things in balance, while hints of acid weave in and out of the track.

It's closing track Scrabble that takes things back to the disco with its merry strings and wonky square synth lines, nicely rounding off the package.

As always, this is limited to 500 copies, no repress, no digital. Not now, not ever.

City Fly's previous release was a feature in every discernible DJ's set showcasing the mercurial production ingenuity of Munich marvel Bartellow complete with remixes from the inimitable Ugly Drums and deep house deity Fred P. Next up they bring another German-based producer into the mix via Scotland and the M1...
For their eighth release City Fly are proud to present Red Rack'em aka Danny Berman. Originally hailing from Scotland, relocating to Robin Hood's stronghold of Nottingham proved to be a productive move where he met kindred spirits in the form of music lovers and vinyl heads. This planted the seeds to grow an alliance which inspired him creatively, with many of his initial projects coming to fruition including the inception of his weekly 'Smugglers Inn' radio show on Myhouse Yourhouse plus promo releases of soul and disco edits on his Red Rack'em imprint that drew support from revered selectors such as the Nordic wizards Todd Terje and Prins Thomas.
Fast forward nearly a decade later and Danny's career has continued to take an upward trajectory. His 'Hot Coins' disco pseudonym was heavily supported by influential tastemaker Gilles Peterson who also unveiled Danny's Detroit two-step inspired 'Marlinspike' alias showcasing his versatility and nous as a producer. He followed this up by founding his fledgling 'Bergerac' label on which he released his debut album 'The Early Years' with its concocted alchemy of house, disco, beatdown and electro-boogie - gaining critical acclaim from both his peers and the press alike. However, it was his move to Berlin three years ago that gave him a new lease of life. With the hive of creativity in his new environs serving as a source of inspiration and motivation to hone his craft, he revisited his Hot Coins project and released 'The Damage Is Done' LP last year on Jazzanova's legendary Sonar Kollektiv imprint - following this up with by forming a live band set up and taking Hot Coins on the road.
Still, it's his original piratical Red Rack'em moniker that most heads identify him with - his genre-defying productions on choice labels such as Ramp, Philomena and Wolf Music are always in the bag of purveyors such as Mike Huckaby, Move D, MCDE and Kyle Hall. Having known Danny for some time since his days in Notts, it was only a matter of time before City Fly made the M1 connection and got their fellow kindred spirit signed up and released on some platter...
ZONED
Kicking off the EP is the title track 'Zoned' which as the name implies is an ode to being 'too far gone'. With a pitched down vocal, disorientating chords, heavy kick-drum and yearning male larynx hollering 'music is the place to be, want it right to hold me free', the track definitely takes you to a deeper place. Just before it gets any darker a dose of sax licks come in to inject some groove and light to proceedings. Sounding like a long lost 8-mile beatdown track that wouldn't be amiss on an old KDJ B-side or LP a la Silentintroduction or Forevernevermore, this is definitely one for the real heads with the lights down low...
BRAZILIAN NUTS
Next up is 'Brazilian Nuts' though to give a pre-warning this is not a samba-fuelled production as the title would suggest. With a warped, ocean-deep bass plunging the depths, heavy handclaps and an eerie vox, the track starts off with a deep and atmospheric aura. However, an element of surprise is thrown in when a Brazilian voice interjects adding a glimmer of light, which is further enhanced when crystal synths glide in contrasting against the deeper undertones - building to an ethereal breakdown where the bottomless bass, haunting vox and crystalline synth interpolate effortlessly. A deeper excursion to submerge yourself in...
ZONED (DJ NATURE REMIX)
Having previously featured house heavyweights such as Fred P, Andres and Danny's partner in crime Medlar on remix duties, this time City Fly are proud to bring DJ Nature into the mix. The New York based producer has had a slew of killer EP's on Japan's Jazzy Sport and NY's Golf Channel followed up by his acclaimed 'Return Of The Savage' LP which made him catch the ear of City Fly. On to the remix and Nature's interpretation as ever has an organic, timeless aesthetic that juxtaposes the deep, disorientating mood of the original with its warm bass and jazzy keys giving a laissez-faire vibe drenched with funk and soul - definitely one for springtime this is one to soak up and kick back to...

Sometimes it's best to let the music do the talking, this is one of those occasions.
Local Talk's 46th release comes from exciting debutant Sameed. Little did we know about Sameed before we got the four tracks for this 12", for all we know it could be your neighbour.

Quick-firing the release is Spend, functional as a set highlight with its dubby chords, vocal snippets and a wonky bassline.
Included on the b-side is a dub that will work perfect as a DJ tool for those who want to go a little bit deeper.

Showcasing Sameed's sense for keeping things stripped down and sweaty , Still is a dirty exercise in acid witchcraft while Getyoself can best be described as a delicately raw rhythm with dark textures.

Soulfood's second release builds upon the impact of its predecessor. Greek supertalent Kindimmer shares three of his most elegant and funksoaked house tracks to date on this "Moodswinger EP". Add to that a James Dexter remix that just makes you want to get down and lose control. Another must-have package has arrived.

French producer Mome makes his 4lux debut with this jackin Gang & Gang EP. Remixes come from Alden Tyrell & Gerd and Marquis Hawkes.

Swedish producer HNNY launches the debut release on new label Omena. A totally addictive soul loop riding over a classic Disco beat - simple - devastatingly effective, and positively drenched in some much needed sunshine.
As HNNY says "You can't listen to this while it's raining, it doesn't work like that"

Dedication:

Another year is past and our House Music heads are still banging to the rhythm of the unforgettable old school House Music beats. We were there playing, singing & dancing the melodies of those enchanted tunes who were rocking our bodies & souls. We want to keep all the House Music movement alive & kicking through our compilations which will remember & teach where we are all coming from.

House Music needs respect for all people who spread it with emotional feelings created by 7 notes on a keyboard or some syncopated beats in a drum machine. House Music is a feeling and we must truly understand that it's a gift from above in order to set all us free through it warm energy. We trust in House Music.

Here comes the re-boost of the lovechild of Henry Saiz and Pional: 'Uroboros'. Originally released in 2011 as download only on Henry's Natura Sonoris label, this Balearic Symphony was built to stay. The 2014 Permanent Vacation wax edition is backed with an epic Dub house rework by the PV boys themselves and an exclusive live take of the original.
