Highlight: Frankie Goes Deep

I'm such a sucker for mashups like these, I really am. It's not complicated - but that's the way with many truly good things. Frankie Goes Deep are an outfit from Croatia doing cool things with their re-touches and re-edits, but this one is a real gem - and relevant, too: Cassius x Donna Summer. All class. Enjoy.

This is one of the cheeky edits which really isn't that much of an edit; in fact, the edit police would probably have me up for highlighting this version, as all Finnebassen does with his Silly Pilly edit is basically extend the intro's and outtro's and slap a 4/4 beat underneath one of the standout tracks from Mayer Hawthorne's recent How Do You Do? album. But it works, dammit, it really, really works...

The first in a brand new (but admittedly intermittent) series highlighting some of my favourite edits, reworks and re-rubs of recent times. The whole "edit culture" seems to get bad press from grumpy DJs, but there's definitely some boss among the dross. Here's one: Turkish producer Onur Engin has released a slew of cracking edits, pretty much all of which qualify as 'class'. Cop a few of them on his Soundcloud page, or check his facebook for more info. Two absolute belters below: James Mason's 'Sweet Power Your Embrace' and Kool and The Gang's 'Summer Madness Live'. Get hip to the script flip...
