Record Box Peek: The Revenge

Posted in Record Box Peek on Wednesday 30th June, 2010 by Annie Buckle

The spirit of disco lives on in Scottish spin-star, Graeme Clark aka The Revenge. A gifted producer hailing from Glasgow, he has made grooving edits of Stevie Wonder’s ‘Love Light In Flight’ and Xavier’s ‘Do it’ and has featured on high profile labels, Under The Shade, UK’s Five20East and his vinyl only imprint, Instruments of Rapture. Rolling out smooth-tempo beats mixed with classic samples that neither your head nor feet can deny, we can’t wait to see what path Graeme takes us on with his deviant disco for fabric's dance marathon next Saturday at ‘On.’ Reaching deep into the depths of his record bag, here are five reasons why The Revenge is a must-see next weekend…

Small World Disco - Where Is The Compassion (SWDE)


A few months old but I've been loving this guy's stuff recently. A perfect mid-tempo jam from this hugely consistent producer. His tracks have that classic house vibe - strong grooves, chopped vocals and a real emotional content.

Cos & Mes feat Dr Nishimura - Heavenly Trax (Jonny Nash Remix) (ESP Institute)
A deeply emotional balearic gem from Lovefingers' label. This is in my crate for the boat party in Croatia this summer. Perfect sunset material.

Shenoda - All Ears (Mr. G Remix) (Hypercolour)
I was turned onto Mr G's productions a few years ago by Harri at the Sub Club. His tracks always have that straight-up energy and tension throughout. This one's got the genius touch of the Love & Happiness sample which works perfectly.

Homepark - On Me (3rd Strike Recordings)
I was asked to master this track a few months ago for David Griffiths' (Jisco / Under The Shade) label, and it grabbed me instantly. It's just a very simple house track but it's perfect in lots of ways and always hit's the spot when I play it.

Dirt Crew - Deep Cover (Roberto Rodriguez Remix) (Mood Music)


I've been hammering this track since Roberto passed it on at the end of last year. It's such a strong groove and when that bassline kicks in it has the power to level cities. This never leaves my crate.
