Apologies for the criminally long gap between posts but nothing pressing to report, alternative temptations etc etc ! Anyway there are another couple of new(ish) mixes of ‘Hooked’ floating around of late, one from 7th Heaven and one from Nik Denton. For a change there’s a move away from the well beaten path of Hard House remixes as ‘Hooked’ has been tweaked to death in that area by the best I guess so…..

The 7th Heaven remix kind of updates the spirit of the original version and the Tony De Vit and Simon Parkes remix from way back in 1995 ! If you like it commercial and liked the TDV epic version you’ll love this one.

Nik Denton offers up one of his funky chunky house remixes which gives the track a nice funky swagger and even a bit of street cred for once!

The two mixes will be served up as a very limited 12 inch single next month via Toolbox House though there is already a one sided 12 inch pressing (only about 110 copies I think) that you can find exclusively at Hard To Find Records.

Both mixes are already available as downloads too from places like Trackitdown, XPress Beats and 3Beat Digital

To hear samples of the new mixes try the download sites above, they all have previews. Trackitdown offer the option of either Wav or 320kb MP3 formats for download. None of that ropey low bit rate stuff you pay for at iTunes.

You can hear the Tony De Vit mix in all its glory on the 99th Floor Elevators MySpace page.

If you fancy a copy of the 7th Heaven limited edition one sided 12 inch go to Hard To Find Records, they ship worldwide and I have personally been using them without any probs for years internationally (shipping to Florida) and domestically (when I was in the UK). You can blag a copy for around $2 plus shipping at the moment.
