While the rest of the world is catching up with Richie Egan’s output as Jape and we are awaiting a new album (as the demos on his MySpace sound like his best work), Adam Freeland’s label Marine Parade has released Floating in two formats – a 7″ backed by a Son Green remix (listen here) and a 12″ with remixes from Alex Metric and Prins Thomas.
No doubt these releases were helped by that Raconteurs version [youtube] of the song which I find a bit boring but the Prins Thomas remix is an effective 12 minute space disco workout perfect for DJs to drop into their sets and for everybody else to enjoy the stretched out fuzziness of the remix. Niiice.

yeh he was. he was playing loads of happy party music.
Was at both, didn’t rate Prins to be honest, thought he was sloppy.. and he also played ‘love is the air’..
Hmm…
I thought it was a horrible night in all to be honest. i only went because it was a friend’s birthday.
I headed down on the strength of that one tune, never heard of the guy before. then they were chargin 25 bucks in on the door so i said fuck that for a game of catch the remix and fell into the equally overpriced odeon where i was aurally pleasured by the sugarbabes for a few hours.
savage.
Yeh I heard they were charging 25 but when I got there to check it out it was 15.
