Ellis Dee is basically the godfather of rave music and rave events. I think its official to say that a rave wasn’t a rave unless he was gracing the decks! He has was there at the inception of the movement and is still out there now pushing the sound and smashing up DJ sets.

And this is kind of how this release came about. Ellis Dee was booked for an Australian tour and one of the events was in Perth. Without his knowledge, two producers had decided to remake two of his classic tracks and surprise him by playing them at the same event, as they were performing on the same bill. Unfortunately the event was cancelled due to covid and the tour didn’t take place.

So Boykz and Chapman contacted Vinyl Fanatiks as they knew Ellis Dee worked with the label, explained the story and shared the tracks. The remixes were incredible, two respectful revamps, with original samples sourced, but a fresh interpretation that still harked as though it was made 30 years ago.

We couldn’t let these tracks vanish into history and decided to release them on Amen Brother. If you missed out on the originals being repressed on Vinyl Fanatiks a few years ago, don’t sleep on these badbwoys as they will bring any party back into 1992!
