Early heads up - Watson's new 12" from the El Diablo Social Club's stable is waiting in the wings and it's safe to say it already has it's place ear marked in my Top 3 records and edits of the year.
'Get It On' is a superb edit of the massive Millie Jackson track which was sampled on Carl Craig's remix of Tom Trago’s - 'Use Me Again' track. Watson's edit was road tested to a great reaction by Cottam at the Paper Recordings party in Manchester a few month's back. Whilst 'Thoughts Of Yesterday' is a slo-mo groover dowsed in the soulful boogie vibes the man has been dropping in his DJ sets for time.
Playlisted on the show back in June of this year, Get It On has been on heavy rotation ever since, and I cannot wait to get my hands on the vinyl...
A limited run of 300 hand stamped, hand sprayed copies will be released on 24th September from some of the decent record stores...
Watson's long sold out debut 12" Ease Along, a Cliff Richard picture disc backed with a Cottam remix, went to Number 1 in Juno's Best Sellers chart in the run up to Christmas 2011 - so be warned, do not sleep on this record!
Watson - To Rack & Ruin Volume 3 (To Rack & Ruin) - released 24.09.12
