Ellis D (Rhythm Section)
The decade of 2000 has been all about the revivals; dusting off old records, cleaning up the artists, and kicking them down a stage for your approval. There's been terrible mistakes (Spice Girls - why, Take That - why, Dollar - for fuck's sake...) but dance music is rather more forgiving, primarily because unless you were stationed in the hot beds of activity in the early days, the artists and even tracks were faceless and nameless. The cult of celebrity did not swathe them, and they made music relentlessly, often for what we could consider a tuppence in comparison to the bulging bank balances of the mainstream. When dance artists return, they tend to appear as if rejoining the party - people smile and nod, and ask what they've been doing, where they've been, before proffering a space behind the turntables. Perhaps I'm looking at this through rose-tinted glasses, but I do feel there is a definite degree of respect rather than distrust.
Enough havering, check this out: early 90s hardcore breakbeat group Rhythm Section are releasing a series of remixes of their 1991 rave classic, 'Coming on Strong', featuring Caper (dubstep rinse), Slum Dogz (dnb wash), Black Noise (electro-house scrub) and new takes from original members Rennie Pilgrem, Ellis D and Nick Newton (with the exception of 4th member, Ritchie T). The nine track LP is out on RSR over Jan / Feb 2010.The original clinged to the Kiss chart for 18 months; here's a taster -
