You know it has to be something special when Soma license a track, The absolute classic ‘Mispent Years’ comes with remixes from Silicone Soul, Funk D’Void and Schatrax!

Originally out in the early nineties this track captured the hearts of house music fans with its deep pads and hypnotic groove - a true Sub Club favourite that always fills the dancefloor.

For this release the original has been remastered and cut extra loud. Soma’s disco tag team Silicone Soul and Funk D’Void instantly volunteered their remix services as the track is a personal favourite. Silicone Soul pull out the stops and deliver a fantastic mix which remains true to the original while injecting their trademark soul and razor sharp beats, reactions to this mix have been fantastic as the Silicone Soul boys have been playing it off CDR.

Next up Funk D’Void excels with an epic interpretation that is simply outstanding. Funk D’Void is firing on all cylinders right now after turning out mixes for Cosmos and Underworld, this remix oozes class.

On the other twelve we have included the seminal original with an all-new mix from Schatrax’s Josh Brent. Here Josh has come up with a broken beat version that gives the track a whole new life.

The final mix is a beatless version of Funk’s masterpiece. This is a very special release for us and we hope you think so too.

Each white label has been hand stamped red or black to make for a desirable collectors piece.

Release date : 11.11.2002

Slam unleash the final track to be taken from last years ‘Alien Radio’ album. ‘Visions’ featuring Dot Allison was certainly one of the standout tracks and for the single release Vitalic, Two Lone Swordsmen, Ewan Pearson, Phil Kieran and Hystereo have delivered eye opening remixes to make for a blinding package over two twelve inches.

Dot Allison has recently released her thoroughly excellent ‘We Are Science’ album on Mantra. On the album Two Lone Swordsmen’s Keith Tenniswood contributed his production talents and Slam have also completed a fantastic dancefloor remix of the title track ‘We’re Only Science’.

The first twelve contains remixes from Vitalic and Two Lone Swordsmen. When deciding remixers for ‘Visions’ Slam were hammering Vitalic’s ‘Poney EP’ at the time in their sets and decided that his sound would be ideal for this special record – they certainly were not disappointed with the result! The Gigolo maestro and fur salesman, delivers a crushing aural assault of a remix. If you liked ‘La Rock’ you’ll love this!

The Two Lone Swordsmen have produced a fat slab of machine funk that uses Dot Allison’s dulcet tones. This mix is definitely something extraordinary, dirty electronics merge beautifully with Dot’s ethereal vocals to create a sleazy monster with a breakdown and bass end so spannered it just might shatter the Rotter’s Golf Club’s windows. This mix was recently previewed on Slam’s ‘Alien Radio Remixed’ Cd.

One the remix twelve first up is Soma star Ewan Pearson, currently very hot property with remixes of Freeform Five ‘Perspex Sex’, Black Strobe ‘Me ‘n’ Madonna’ and Playgroup ‘Behind The Wheel. His remix of ‘Visions’ is a spellbinding vocal masterpiece, which reinforces the fact that he is one of the best producers in the UK right now.

On the flip Phil Kieran has produced a hypnotic house remix that will take the track onto peak time floors. Finally new Soma signings Hystereo make their debut on the label with an ultra deep rework that cleverly chops up Dot’s vocals to maximum effect.

Release date : 18.11.02

A: Black Satin - Miguel Migs Petal Pusher Vocal Dub
AA: Black Satin - Original Remix

Soma Records are delighted to welcome back to the label...
Gene Farris the sinister minster of chicago house with his devastating cut 'Black Satin'. His extensive discography of over fifty productions and global DJ track record is definitely a testament to the true sound of Chicago.
For Gene, music is his undoubted passion and his creations are amongst the very best of deep, bumpin’, funky, soulful house tracks in the industry. 'Black Satin' is no exception, featuring the beautiful vocals of Lady Sarah - this is a deep cut of emotional house and one of his most accomplished works to date.
On remix duties is none other than Naked Music maestro Miguel Migs who
really needs no introduction, a true master of his craft! For his 'Petalpusher Vocal Dub' he has surpassed all expectations and the result soulful masterpiece oozing with organic funk.

Since the release of Gene's album 'This is my Religion' on Soma two years ago he has been busy developing his label 'Farris Wheel' into the widely respected label that it is today, he has also been working on a new album for Soma which we are pleased to say he is putting the finishing touches to now!
Look out for 'Los Conquistadores Chocolates' early 2003!!

Released 16.12.02

A. On A Day (Remix)
B1. Dark N Sharp
B2. On A Day (Remake)

Man of the moment and Soma’s master of aural espionage Percy X is back with the release of one of the most sought after tracks on his recent album ‘Where’s The Music’. ‘On A Day’ was previously only available on the CD version, and with the amount of requests we have received about it’s release, we are happy to finally oblige!

On the A Side we have the ‘On A Day’ remix which was done by Percy X and Mark Broom – this future retro cut caused quite a stir this summer when we mailed out the ultra limited teaser promo’s to selected DJ’s.

On the flip we’ve included the growling ‘Dark N’ Sharp’, this is where Percy is at when he is Djing – funky driving techno which he splices with effects and turntable trickery, this track was also a big favourite with Ben Sims when released on the vinyl of the album.

Finally ‘On A Day’ has been remade and improved for the dancefloor, deep, emotional Glasgow techno with a twist of Detroit influenced soul. A future Percy X classic and office favourite!

The X man is fresh from completing two electrocuted remixes of Death In Vegas’ killer ‘Hands Around My Throat’, with his live version of ‘For The Throat Mix’ recently ripping up the dancefloor at the Soma party at the Arches.

Forthcoming is the new Freelance Science release featuring two of Soma's finest Funk D'Void and Hipp-e. Hipp-e Funk 'You Like That' / 'Grave Diggers' will be available through Prime on 25th November, you will also be able to purchase via the Soma shop. Both sides are delicious yet dark, dubbed out house with jazz licks, swirling techno synths and relentless driving bass lines.

Tony's new release on Soma will be out Monday 7th October

A. Tight Rope
B1. Call Of The Ancients
B2. Lost Treasure

Tony Thomas returns to Soma with a fantastic three tracker of funky tribal house music. Tony is on a roll right now and you will most likely find one of his first rate recordings in the boxes of a cross section of DJ’s. Currently house, techno and progressive spinners love his tribal grooves.

Tony is a very busy man and one the most respected and prolific house music producers on the scene right now. This is his third release on Soma and they just keep getting better.

On the A Side ‘Tight Rope’ is classic Tony Thomas – a rolling conga driven groove is underpinned with sci-fi chants and jungle funk, this firing cut is sure to please lovers of Tony’s style. Keeping the tribal feel is the equally excellent ‘Call of the Ancients’ with its big driving bassline and African chants. Finally ‘Lost Treasure’ is in the same vein but with a more melodic dubby feel. All in all this is a great package from a great producer.
