Following Felix Dickinson's mix, here are 80 minutes displaying the genius of Jamie Read. This is the 2nd part of two AirPod episodes dedicated to UK's classic house duo LHAS Inc.
LHAS Inc. recently released their first remix ever produced for our 20th record release. Jamie Read is better known for a string of classic releases in the mid-'90s which he produced in answer to the Chicago sound of the time. At the time, Jamie Read's music was also object to an unfortunate offense.
Indeed in 1995, keen to have his music released on Cajmere's Relief label, Read handed a demo DAT tape to Joe Lewis for him to transmit it. Some time later some of these tracks appeared on Relief as a Joe Louis release entitled "Back To The Beginning", with no credit to the people who actually produced them. A while later, further material from this DAT was released under Louis/Lewis' name on this release and on "Netherlands EP" on Basement 282, again with no mention of the actual producers.
That famous DAT contained music made during a period when Read was recording at the studios of 10th Planet with legendary Lee Purkis, Chris Hartley and David Manuel (the 3 of whom ran 10th Planet and recorded as Insync vs. Mysteron).
Jamie Read also started LHAS - the Larry Heard Appreciation Society - around the same time. Later renamed LHAS Inc. as Felix Dickinson joined Read, the first two records which by Read alone, came out on a dedicated imprint, Push II Shove. These were followed by the first three records including Dickinson's participation in '03 and '04, on Wax (Doc Martin's label), Eskimo and Cynic.
In the last two years, LHAS Inc. presented two more records, "Learning To Live" on the fantastic Vibrations project (one of the best 12"s release in 2011 in our humble opinion) and another one on Cynic.
We are really proud to have included their first remix work ever on "Benzo - The Remixes", released on Airdrop, on Monday, March 12th through Syncrophone Distribution.
