That probably sounds needlessly ranty which isn't my intention. I'm just often bemused about credits when it comes to Duppy Writer. Someone once suggested I check it out because they thought it would be up my street

*I wasn't eligible for writing credits because they were remixes. The only other people who worked on Duppy Writer backing tracks were my mates Dante who played trumpet on one, and Ed who played guitar and theremin on another. No disrespect to Mr Parker of course, but no one else was involved

Had to look up Andy Parker. He mixed the original of Juggle Tings. Something which I'm sure won't matter to most folks (but it does to me) is I didn't use anything from the original Manuva tracks aside vocals, and wrote* new backing tracks around them, mostly starting with basslines which fitted

I think 1200s were in a lot of uk venues by the turn of the 80s. DJs like Greg Wilson were mixing disco and jazz funk instead of just playing one tune after another.

Loved making these dub mixes of @theorielles.bsky.social. I think this was the last remix job I did before being evicted just as lockdown was announced. Big love to the @heavenlyrecordings.bsky.social gang!

Fond memories of Cigarette Burns showing the trailer, and when the voice over said "Rupert Everett as you've never seen him before...", someone in the room called out "STRAIGHT!"
