Alibi vs. Rockefeller - Sexual Healing

Alibi vs Rockefeller - Sexual Healing Remix

A production duo from Brighton, The Alibi are close friends of the Freemasons, and in keeping with the tradition of dance acts from Brighton, have named themselves after a well known Brighton bar.

After recording their version of Marvin Gaye’s 1982 classic ‘Sexual Healing’, they discovered that by pure coincidence Rockefeller (Beatfreakz) had just made a version using exactly the same vocal. So it was decided they would team up and the resulting track from these two chart topping artists has already made it to No. 1 in the Music Week Cool Cuts Chart and was riding high in the DMC Update Buzz Chart.

With support from Pete Tong, Scott Mills, Kiss FM, Galaxy, the Hed Kandi boys, Herd & Fitz through to the Hoxton Whores this track is building up to be a summer anthem. Alibi Vs Rockefeller bring this classic track bang up to date and ensure this will be a classic for decades to come, with a killer remix package.

Remixes come from the Beatfreakz who first came to fame with the Michael Jackson cover “Somebody’s Watching Me” then followed by the massive “Superfreak” – they are joined by the Grammy nominated Freemasons who have been dominating the UK’s club scene with their monsters “Love On My Mind” / “Watching” and recently “Rain Love Down” – the act are also responsible for the huge Beyonce & Shakira “Beautiful Liar” remixes currently dominating the clubs.

Also featuring on the remix front is ErickE who recently made his debut into the UK single chart with his “The Beat Is Rockin” and last but not least are the Dennis Christopher remixes…… The remixes really don’t come much better!!!!

Quivver - Dar Rooms

A chunky electronic groove punctuated with Quivver’s characteristic hooks, ‘Dancing In Dark Rooms’ is a stunning return. The likes of Sasha, Sander Kleinenberg, Dave Seaman, Jimmy Van M, Digweed, Nick Warren, and others are already heavily supporting the single. In radio-land, Pete Tong was first on board, giving the track its first airing on his ‘In New Music We Trust Show’ on Radio 1, and expect many more specialist shows to follow suit following the imminent club mailout.

With a fanbase that stretches around the globe, John Graham aka Quivver, Space Manoeuvres, Stoneproof, Skanna, and Tilt needs little introduction. His productions have been a staple of the world’s leading DJs for over a decade. A leading producer, DJ, and vocalist, John’s performed at clubs and events ranging from Glastonbury, Live 8 (in front of 300,000 people with Planet Funk), and the Olympics through to Glade, Ultra, Extrema, Turnmills, Twilo (his residency with Lawler and DJ Three), and Pacha, Ibiza.

While he’s a man of many guises, one constant runs through all his work: high-end electronic music. John is currently touring and collaborating with Hybrid, having contributed his song-writing skills and vocals to their recent album, ‘I Choose Noise’. Fresh from the Australian festival season, and a 10-date tour of the US, the band will be headlining the Glade festival and playing Glastonbury.

‘Dancing In Dark Rooms’ is the 15th release on John’s Boz Boz label, an imprint with a solid reputation and a magnet for global lovers of underground club music. Alongside the lead vocal version is a Quivver dub, and on remix duty are rising techno star Boris Brejcha, Jim Rivers, and Kenny Shifter & Andy Carvell.

Pete Tong and Sarah Main Pure Pacha Album 2007

Pete Tong’s Pure Pacha party is now into its 5th year. With record-breaking numbers and exceptional guests Pure Pacha retains its title as the king of elegant and debauched partying. With a beautiful ‘extended family’ of like minded people at play every Friday night and always to the soundtrack of edgy house music, eclectic soul and hip hop - Pure Pacha is where it’s at.

What better way to mark this celebration of summer than with the next instalment of the Pure Pacha album mixed by Pete Tong and Sarah Main. An eclectic offering as Pete goes straight into things with Antenna’s ‘Camino Del Sol’, a deeply hypnotic, bleep-laden track hotly followed by Pete’s cut of the summer ‘Every Heartbeat’ by Kleepup with vocals from Robyn. Producer de jour Mark Ronson also features with his smash ‘Stop Me’. Pete’s own production with Paul Harris and Jay P ‘Wonderland’ is on there - the best example of a tribute to all that is trippy and techy if ever there was one; it sits neatly alongside James Zabiela and Nic Fanciulli’s One+One offering ‘No Pressure’, with its beautifully crafted strings and atmospheric break down this makes for one unforgettable mix.

Sarah starts with an altogether funkier groove. Carl Kennedy’s ‘Ride the Storm’ and Nu Frequency ‘Love Sick’ tick all the boxes. Then dipping her toe into a more 4am sound with Magik Johnson’s ‘Eastern Lights’, before returning to her disco-fuelled Studio 54 fantasy in the form of Beginerz ‘Ape Stalking’. It draws to a close with a new track from the legendary Billie Ray Martin - ‘Undisco Me’. It does exactly what it says on the tin, an acid fringed track, it makes for one epic ending.

Confirmed guests for the 2007 Pure Pacha parties include Groove Armada, F*ck Me I’m Famous with David Guetta, Alex Neri and some special Il Muretto parties amongst others. Pete is excited to announce a much-anticipated date with the ultra talented Trentmoller on September 14th.

Pure Pacha is also renowned for its imaginative artwork and poster campaigns. This year the relationship with Christian Audigier is extended as Pete and Christian have created something very special around the theme of classic playing cards, poker and tattoos! This artwork has been continued to the CD.
