Philip, Try the recent Titonton Duvante mix on Betalounge.com if you haven't already. I'm a big fan of Recloose's too... he came and played down here in New Zealand last year and was mind-blowing, as you say. Anyways, that Titonton mix is the most satisfying thing I've found since. The good news is the Recloose is starting his own label with some Detroit friends, which is being launched at the DEMF. Now, if only I wasn't living a squillion miles away. Them's the breaks I guess. Andy PS. The Recloose remix of Loqate (Orin Walters from Bugz In The Attic) on Ubiquity is the one I'm looking forward to. Out any day now I think.
