R.I.P.
The Unabombers are releasing the third volume of their 'Electric Chair - Saved My Life' compilation series in mid October. Celebrating 13 years of their now legendary defunct club in Manchester, the 'Electric Chair R.I.P EP.' gathers together three eclectic tunes which defined the sound at The Chair.Tracks include the Paradise Garage anthem 'Stand on the Word' by the Joubert Singers. 'Black Men United' by Shut Up And Dance and my personal favourite 'Like Some Dream (I Can't Stop Dreaming)' by Daniel Wang, a Sleeque sampling, 4/4 groover which sounds as good today as it did in 1993.
The 'Electric Chair R.I.P EP.' is out on Oct 13th with the compilation to follow mid October.

Also as a bonus, The Unabombers have remixed the latest release from Crazy P. They have beefed up the production to create a very solid driving dark House backing which complements the Moloko-like pop vocals.

Their album 'Stop, Space, Return' is released on October 20th
And finally a Breakbeat Rave classic has been given the Bangin' Electro House treatment from Lee Coombs. A floor filler and no mistake, however you will never top the original in my opinion.
