Athens of the North's first foray into releasing house records (with more on the way) may come as a surprise to some but not to people who've heard them DJ. Dirty Channels vs Danny Russell 'Watchin' Out' is a horn-fuelled lesson in peak time energy; working a relentless groove before dropping into a hook that you'll be hearing a lot of this Summer. It's already gained plaudits, left,right and centre, including house single of the month in the July issue of Mixmag and DJ support from Jeremy Underground, Dan Shake, Josh Wink, DJ Haus, Jimpster, Jaques Renault, DJ Boring, Nyra (Canoe Recordings), Jimmy Rouge (Orange Tree Edits) and Red Rack'em. On the flip, Bristol born and Edinburgh based, Linkwood of Firecracker fame presents a tasteful edit of Frazelle 'Today Is The Day', chopping up the rare 12" instrumental with the rarer 7" vocal version into a spanking definitive 12" inch mix for maximum dance floor satisfaction.
