Lowlife loveliness

Christ all chaffing mighty… this dropped out of cyber-space into my e-lap literally 10 minutes ago, and it is getting whacked straight up as its very new and exciting, a wonderful, wonderful tune, and also the aural emblem of the best night out I had in years on Saturday.
So, the background… last Saturday, myself, Tommy Squeaker and a couple of other mates went to the Lowlife party in South London, and it was just a beautiful clubbing experience in the way I haven’t experienced in quite some time.. to paraphrase the ever-eloquent Squeaker, it was like all the nicest clubbers in London gathered under one roof to hear the best DJs. Three rooms, 700 people, most of whom dressed up for the theme of Gothic Romance, a caberet act, predominatly house with some scattered disco and even a touch of gothy goodness, really nice chats with random people throughout the night… and this track got played twice in two different rooms.
In the back of my addled brain, I made a mental note to inquire what that track with the siren was, never seriously thinking that it would end up so soon in my sweaty mitts, but here it is, benevolently bestowed upon all and sundry by Lowlife organiser and DJ History Honcho Bill Brewster.
Its the classiest of mildly housed disco edits, that builds and euphorically breaks with the help of some badass siren and the silkiest of strings. It comes as part of a wider release…
“This is the first part of the project (there are two volumes in total, the other one follows in 2009). Don’t know if you know anything about Tele Music but it’s sort of the French equivalent to KPM, the famous British library label that Alan Hawkshaw and others recorded for. They were also responsible for releasing the Arpadys album and the Voyage LPs (it was the same team of musicians who did most of the disco library recordings as well as both Arpadys and Voyage: Slim Pezin, Alain Dahan, Sauveur Mallia, Marc Chantereau etc etc). Anyhow, most of the tracks we’ve taken and edited or remixed are culled from the Disco & Co series of library albums as well as the Spatial & Co and Arpadys projects, too.”
You can go and check out some of the other tracks from the album here. This album will be released very soon, but in the meantime they have lots of other ace compilations for you to check out and download so have a good click round.
And for all you who missed it, the next Lowlife is maddeningly months away, not until February 14th. I am already starting to lay the groundwork with my partner that quality, romantic ‘us’ time might not be on the cards this Valentines Day.

Niiiice. And from Brewster himself? Top work.
But what has happened to the Double K?
