Another hectic month behind us, following on from ADE and with the release of the fantastic Rulers Of The Deep album 'Untitled Secret' on Digital, CD and the release ofthe classic ROTD'Last Surivor' on 12" Vinyl...
But we're not slowing down!
In fact we're turning up the heat for the winter months ahead starting right now, with the long awaited debut ep on MUM from Tempered DJ's. We've seen some top notch collaborations and blinding remixes from Tempered this year. Their recent remix of H2 'The Bus To Mexico City' has picked up huge support including from Eddie Haliwell and their amazing re-work of Age Of Love has started a bit of a revival being hammered by everyone since the summer from Lucien Foort to Carl Cox who hasbeen playing this at Space, Ibiza as well as on his radio show..
So here it is - entitled 'Kean's Changed' the EP delivers in true Tempered style - We believe some of their finest work to date!
Do you like my music? I just discovered another cool site with lots of artists of various styles: amiestreet.com! Of course, I put my whole disco on it, and now it's available to you for downloading :)
