So the annual January hiatus has been far more productive than expected !
Here’s a sneaky peek at some forthcoming Duckbeats related tracks and remixes:

I was absolutely over the moon to be asked to get involved in a Heaven 17 Remix project, co-ordinated by the excellent Mixed In Sheffield crew.

Fascist Groove Thing was a chart topper way back in 1981, in the midst of the hideous Thatcher years, which I remember clearly, if not fondly. Sadly the same themes which undoubtedly inspired the original seem to be topical again, racist bigots like the BNP winning political seats and a chinless brigade of privately educated and out of touch idiots about to take over at number 10, some things never change.

It’s always a tall order tampering with such well-loved music, but I think I managed to strip this 150 bpm synth-pop classic back to it’s steely Sheffield core.
