Alpaca Edits

Sporting a finely tuned, funk-infused aesthetic and dynamic, York-based label and release outlet Alpaca Edits have carved out a real niche for themselves in the thriving, multi-pronged soul, funk and disco scenes. With plenty of cross pollination between each sound, this sustained diversity has been a major marker of their widespread popularity, driven firmly by the enigmatic Pete Le Freq. A sharp focus on tasteful, respectful disco edits (both nu and old-style) has made them a force to be reckoned with, backed up by cracking appearances from Andy Buchan, Chuggin Edits and Deelicious, as well as Le Freq’s own seminal ‘Refreqs’ series - all have received widespread support and attention. A platform cherished and firmly appreciated by many, Alpaca Edits will continue to be a UK staple for years to come.

Cleaning Up?
Clean Up Your Own Yard (J Moore edit) - (7:01) 122 BPM
Fortunate Son (Ccr edit) - (6:27) 125 BPM
Say Wot (A Sensible Captain edit) - (6:47) 105 BPM Hot
Review: Former DJ Mag Middle East editor Andy Buchan is undoubtedly one of the rising stars of the nu-disco and re-edits scene. His reworks are always of a solid standard - and often even higher - making each successive release a "must-check". Predictably he's in fine form on this Alpaca Edits outing, brilliantly kicking things off with the jaunty, peak-time-ready disco-soul stomp of "Clean Up Your Own Yard (J Moore edit)". Arguably even better is "Fortunate Son (Ccr Edit)", a percussion-rich rework of a flash-friend funk-rock classic, while closing cut "Say Wot (A Sensible Captain Edit)" is baggy, bouncy, giddy and blessed with the kind of bassline that will be stuck in your head for days. And yes, it is a revision of an overlooked Captain Sensible classic.

Deja Vu
Imagine This (Crescendolls edit) - (5:04) 115 BPM
U Did It (Fatboy Ann edit) - (5:27) 110 BPM Hot
What The Jezahel (Birley Shassey edit) - (5:03) 114 BPM
Review: Alpaca Edits are back with one of the scene's most favoured editors at present: Andy Buchan. The Leeds based disco DJ first cut his teeth playing in Dubai a while back, where he was editor of DJ Mag Middle East. Nowadays, you can find him playing across the UK and presenting his highly sought after resplices on top labels like Hot Digits, Masterworks, Spa In Disco and Audaz. His new Deja Vu EP features the disco inferno of "Imagine This" (Crescendolls edit), the lo-slung boogie down vibe of "U Did It" (Fatboy Ann edit) and the flamboyant What The "Jezahel" (Birley Shassey edit) - which was our favourite of the bunch.

Review: York based label specialising in soul, funk and nu/old disco edits. They make what they like in headphones come out the big speakers - and hopefully some vinyl releases are coming soon. Next up for the label is Andy Buchan, who is back in his home of the United KIngdom after a long stint in Dubai. Here the Leeds based artist delivers "Caught In The Middle" and it hurts not knowing the name of the early '80s disco diva he sampled on this wicked edit. Next up "Kos Mick" does exactly what it says on the tin with this cosmic synth journey that reaches near intergalactic moments. There's also some super soulful galaxian vibes on "Dancing Tight" and "Space Chant" gets some Afro vibes in the house. In addition to deejaying and production, Buchan is a copywriter, editor and journalist who worked at DJ Mag Middle East. He is also a self-confessed expert muffin maker.
