9DW Remixes on ENE




















Love this band! I heard about them first in Wax Poetics. I think it was that same issue that came with one of their 45s. The one with "Black Coffee" on it. Fell in love with the tune and was playing it at gigs here in town. Not 2 weeks later I got a friendly email randomly from one of the members asking if I'd like to try a remix. Outstanding! There is also a version of "Synthetic Avenues" on here and other top quality remixes by Max Essa and Ray Mang among others!

Double CD is available now, vinyl coming soon!!

Here's a sample

DJ History Review:

Obviously bored with skiing and generally just hanging out, Banff resident Eddie C took some time off from his hectic life to piece together another banger.


Juno Review:

It's not rocket science to expect great things from Eddie C's debut on the Hometaping imprint – top label, top producer. "Tell Me" is driven by the core vocal sample which is wrapped in layer upon layer of typically intricate production. Crisp 808 syncopation drops in and out, string arrangements sit deep in the mix and the warmest of basslines running throughout gives the track that extra impetus. Tornado Wallace is employed to remix the track and adds a sheen of hissing Detroit deepness to proceedings, with late night synth lines and soaring chords floating atop the cavernous bass patterns of a slightly slower but just as impressive version. Special praise however is reserved for "Organised", the track that separates the aforementioned. A brilliantly sweaty organ riff is central to this jacking bit of warehouse fodder, with vocal samples and crowd noises cut up and slipped into the spaces between the pounding beat and throbbing bassline.

Phonica review:

Eddie C comes from Canada and has given us excellent releases over the past few years on Jisco Music, 7 Inches of Love, Flashback, Wolf Music, Need Want, Sleazy Beats, Kolour and many other top imprints earning him a well deserved and growing reputation as a top producer and DJ. For his debut release on Home Taping he kicks things off in trademark style with the sample driven, moody groover "Tell Me". Next up he flicks the switch and whips up a stompin House workout on the get-down-and-sweaty warehouse grooves of "Organized". On the flip, rising Aussie house maestro Tornado Wallace takes "Tell Me" one step deeper into basement territory and works it into an epic nu school refix. And finally, a cheeky vinyl only hidden track "Dub Up The Edit" provides an essential DJ tool. 100% House music from two producers on top of their game.

Piccadilly Review:

Eddie C's refreshingly old school approach to music production has led to some mighty fine releases over the past few years on Jisco Music, 7 Inches Of Love, Flashback, Wolf Music, NeedWant, Sleazy Beats, Kolour and many other top imprints, earning him a well deserved and growing reputation as a top producer and DJ.

For his debut release on Home Taping he kicks things off in trademark style with the soul sample-driven, moody beatdown house groover "Tell Me". Next up he flicks the switch and whips up a stompin’ house workout on the get-down-and-sweaty warehouse grooves of "Organized". On the flip, rising Aussie house maestro Tornado Wallace takes "Tell Me" one step deeper into basement territory and works it into an epic nu school refix - one for fans of Mark E or The Revenge. And finally, a cheeky vinyl only unlisted track "Dub Up The Edit" provides an essential DJ tool. If you wanted MARRS "Pump Ump the Volume" spliced and diced and funked-up, then this will be at the front of your record box. 100% house music from two producers on top of their game.

Sleazy Family Sampler OUT NOW!

Juno Review:

Good thing there isn't much to do on the Canadian ski slopes during summer, as Eddie C seems to have spent the warmer months knocking out a steady stream of killer releases. The man from Banff has just dropped a delicious new 12" on Hometaping Is Killing Music, and here headlines a four track EP that also boasts new material from SE62, Tornado Wallace and Daniel Solar. Eddie's effort kicks off the A Side, with the deliciously funky rolling rhythms of "Move Me" ably supported by SE62's "Out There", itself drenched in Motor City atmospherics. Flip over for Melbourne's golden boy Lewie Day aka Tornado Wallace, who provides some hazy summer instrumentation on "Stop Holding Back", while the midtempo tropical funk Daniel Solar's "Into My Life" rounds off one of the best samplers we've heard in some time.

Phonica Review:
Amsterdam´s Sleazy Beats Recordings serves up its 4th platter of beatdown disco grooves. Eddie C makes a welcome return to the label with Move Me, a delicious pitched down chugger. Tornado Wallace makes his second appearance on Sleazy Beats with a killer take on Surface´s “Stop Holding Back”. On the flip, Home Taping´s SE62 delivers a heavy rework of a forgotten Willie Hutch track and Daniel Solar (of No More Hits fame) wraps up the EP with a classy, dubby rework of Melba Moore´s ´You Stepped Into My Life´.
