A: Original Mix B: 16B Remix This is one hell of a combination… The Sycophant Slags are none other than London’s MR C and New York’s Francis Harris. MR C needs no introduction, one of the most influential, ever present forces on London’s House scene, both on vinyl via releases on the Plink Plonk and End Recordings imprints and in the clubs as an international DJ and Co Owner of the much adored End Club. Francis Harris is a key figure on the New York Club scene, co-promoting the legendary ‘Overboard’ night whilst running the excellent Matter/:Form label. Francis’s former productions can be found on Surreal, Big Chief and End Recordings to name a few, with collaborators including Dave Mothersole, Adam Collins and Erich Lee. ‘Dubbed Question’ is a storming piece of driving house with warmth at the low end and purpose in its percussion giving it the perfect edge for main room sets. Just for good measure, label boss 16B steps in with a typically lush remix, adding melodic keys that ride with the percussion perfectly, it’s stamped with that 16B production shine that we’ve come to expect. Expect two singles from these guys on Sexonwax this year! Written and produced by Richard West and Francis Harris. Additional remix production by Omid ’16B’ Nourizadeh. Sexonwax...
16B – Small Town Boy

A: Smalltown Boy (Vocal Mix) B: The Decision (Instrumental) The one-sided promo of O.R.N. ‘the Decision’ (the instrumental and remixed version) caused quite a stir early this year. Now we have coming up a full vocal release with the ‘the Decision’ on the flip. The instrumental has been one of the biggest records for a number of DJs most notably Danny Howells, Anthony Pappa and Dave Seaman and Omid himself. An idea that was first kicked around in 1996 and which has now seen O.R.N. aka Omid ’16B’ take on the challenge of creating his own unique take on this classic track ‘Small Town Boy’ from Bronski Beat. With the success of the instrumental mix, the next step was to find the right vocalist to work with. Omid: “First I had to clear the sample and I called it the ‘Decision’. My plan was to stay true to the ‘Original’ and leave a few bits out and add a few ideas and melodies of my own. I was then introduced to Barnaby Wallace and his voice was exactly what I was looking for. He heard the instrumental and we both got very excited at the thought of working together. Barnaby has song the track in a much lower voice than Jimmy Somerville did and I hope that this gives it a new and exciting edge. I think it works well…” Buy this release at...
