Boiler Room: Steve Cobby “We Start Over (Tuff City Kids Private Acid Mix)”
You may already know Steve Cobby: one of Hull’s most talented residents, co-founder of Fila Brazillia and a chronic remixer/music maker. During 30 years of musical service he’s forged remixes for acts as brilliantly diverse as Radiohead, Busta Rhymes and A Certain Ration. Déclassé, his own imprint is also home to 2014’s critically acclaimed Saudade and the upcoming (and brilliant) Everliving LP.
“We Start Over” is an International Feel baby though – the result of Cobby and vocalist Trudie Dawn Smith combining for a bout of Balearic bliss. The ‘Private Acid Mix’ comes from two of house music’s current treasures, Gerd Janson and Phillip Lauer a.k.a Tuff City Kids, holding nothing back and dropping the 303 in a fine style with looped and twisted vocal snippets. Ltd heavy-weight 180-gr vinyl deluxe packaging to be released to the stores in June.
