Compiled by James Hyman
Compiled by respected XFM DJ James Hyman, comes a new series from Obsessive RE:Cover. Featuring rare and exclusive tracks from some of the biggest and quirkiest acts in the world. The album includes unreleased, rarities, b-sides and exclusives.
We’ve all been there, mashed up, messed up or whatever takes your fancy and some crazy arsed DJ plays some off the wall track and everyone goes crazy. This release has been put together in the vain of those people who enjoy the rare, collectable or mad DJ sets of Erol Alkan, Soulwax and the like.
Featuring the likes of the Tiga doing Nelly, Oasis doing The Who, new indie upstarts Ambulance doing So Solid Crew and many more. So check your Record Collectors, See a man about a tab or get back to the bar, the next hour or so is going to be messy.
Though it may seem niche/specialist for the collector, this album has such broad appeal simply from the familiarity of songs and artists on the compilation. You all know the songs but you may not know these versions; twisted!!!
