The last time we featured, Coqui Selection, on the ward was when he dropped his incredible remix of ‘ I’m Free ‘ by, The Soup Dragons (see here). Now he’s back on the ward with another truly amazing piece of Tech House called ‘ Do It Good ‘ and boy is he doing it good! It’s all to easy to throw around the term ‘ feel good music ‘ and we only do it when necessary so guess what? You got it, this is feel good music of the highest order! In the first five seconds your foots tapping and there’s an immediate sense of intrigue. Just after the minute mark it’s like the, Notting Hill Carnival parade, has just turned up in your front room! The brightest of music brings the biggest of smiles and we’re all grinning from ear to ear here! Treat yourself to a listen and join in the smiles!

Download ‘ Do It Good ‘ here.

To kick off this working week we have enough music here in this one post to see you well into it and beyond! For the seventh year in row, Simon Shackleton, headed to the dusty plains of, Burning Man and in particular the Nutz Camp where, for the sixth year in a row he played from dark to light with his now legendary, sunrise set. Last year he took to the decks for a six hour set but this year cranked things up a little by playing for an incredible nine hours! Expect the highest quality Deep / Tech House and Techno, from the heart melting to the mind blowing which will have had Simon take the weary out of the revellers and the wonderful put in it’s place, without a doubt!

Because of the size of this mix it has be split into two separate mixes. For the first one click here and for the second click here.

If this music really rocks your world and your in or around London this coming Friday, 9th October, then Simon has a night on that’s just for you. Returning for the third time in the UK is a night I covered back in early 2014 called, RISE. To get a scope on what this night is all about have a read of the review I did HERE. On the bill for the latest party is Simon himself along with Stereophoenix compadres, Martin Chandler and Gower Preston and joining them will be, Johnny Midnight and Richard Norris ( The Grid / Beyond The Wizards Sleeve ). The night takes place at, The Silver Bullet, which is opposite the Finsbury Park train station. For full details and tickets head to the Facebook Event Page.

You may well have caught the musically huge feature we ran on, Illvis Freshly, a few weeks ago and just incase you didn’t head HERE, to catch the first three remixed volumes of their work. In this post we have the final ‘ Remixed Vol.4 ‘, which sees two artists who have thrown full backing behind the Illvis guys from day one, Sammy Senior and Busta, put two more fiery remixes together of Illvis’ music.

Sammy and Busta have featured on the ward several times each now so you know that a wave of funky, chunky Glitch Hop beats are heading your way as they remix ‘ Free Dumb ‘ and ‘ Zizo ‘ off Illvis Freshly’s album ‘ What Chu Know About Illvis? ‘. Rounding off this volume and the series as a whole is a mashup from one of the Illvis group, The Funkee Wadd. He’s boshed together ‘ Zizo ‘ and an edit the, Phibes brothers, done of ‘ Sound Of Da Police ‘. Three tracks that are packing more power and beef than a Spanish bull run!

There is simply no stopping the music machine that is, Joshua Harvey aka Hervé. With many years of producing, djing and remixing under his belt it’s a consistent onwards and upwards trend for this talented artist. Working under many different guises such as The Count ( with Sinden ), Speaker Junk and the collective, Machines Don’t Care, Hervé can draw on a vast amount of knowledge from many different areas of the musical spectrum.

We caught up with Hervé and asked him a few questions about his latest release ‘ You Give Me Something ‘ with remixes from Jay Robinson and one from Hervé himself, plus future projects, music tech and his favourite ever festival.

LSM : Thanks for taking time to speak to us Joshua. Could you tell us a bit about your new release ‘ You Give Me Something ‘ and where the inspiration came from to make it?

Joshua : It came from a writing session with Anita Blay and the singer Daisy. We were working on a few different bits but we got on a roll with this track and it came together very quickly. We wrote and recorded the vocal in the next two hours, Daisy did the lead and Anita did some great backing and ad libs. I worked on various versions over the next few weeks. Love and Other were the first to hear it and picked it up straight away. I’d just finished my collab with Armand Van Helden and was on a bit of a late eighties early nineties house tip and the music came from that little spell of writing.

Buy ‘ You Give Me Something ‘ here.

LSM : Jay Robinson has provided a tasty remix of your new track and we see you’ve reworked it with a Fidget House twist. How did the decision to do that come about?

Joshua : I’ve been in contact with Jay for years, every since his early Dub Frequency stuff on Cheap Thrills. He’s a talented guy and I just wanted to keep supporting him so I asked him to put his spin on it. With my Future Fidget remix (I was just having a bit of fun with that remix title) I wanted rep more of my sound as the original is pretty straight house, not something I do too much as Hervé.

Buy Jay Robinson’s remix here.

Download Hervé’s remix premiered by DJ Mag here.

LSM : You’ve released your new material on Love & Other. Are there any plans for future releases with them?

Joshua : Yeah I can see that for sure in the future, either as Hervé or under another name. If they will have me! I’ve really enjoyed working with Ricky . I’ve just signed to Skint so I have a commitment to them right now.

LSM : What equipment are you using to make music these days in the ever changing world of gadgets and gadgetry?

Joshua : Bootcamped iMac with Cubase and a few bits of hardware. I have an SSL Nucleus which has given me a bit of agro recently but has the best sound I’ve ever heard for recording vocals and instruments.

LSM :  Is there anyone out there that you have drawn influences from to help hone your sound?

Joshua : Nothing specific. I always draw from a wide range of influences from a wide range of genres to find new ways to do something interesting.

LSM : There’s quite a few major names you’ve remixed. Anymore in the pipeline?

Joshua : Not sure if I can say, but I think it’s ok. I’m remixing a Fatboy Slim classic for Skint which I’m pretty impatient to get cracking on and a new KC Lights track on Cheap Thrills. I do enjoy remixing, for a while I got a bit burned out remixing as Hervé, Speaker Junk and The Count and Sinden, I must’ve done 40/50/60 remixes I can’t remember!

LSM : Having unearthed  and signed some very talented artists to your label ‘ Cheap Thrills ‘, is there any up and coming stars you can tell us about?

Joshua : KC Lights is a new addition to the label. Incredibly talented writer and producer who has a massive future. He’s got some big releases and collabs coming.

LSM : Having played all around the world, could you give us a venue or festival that holds special memories for you?

Joshua : I love playing Secret Garden Party. Such a great atmosphere and great crowd, played three times and always ready to return. Any festival in Belgium is great, awesome crowd and they treat you very nicely.

LSM : Everyone has a turn to track when the chips are down, what’s one of yours that you use for maximum inspiration in the same situation?

Joshua : I don’t think I have one track. New tracks come along all the time that have something about them and spark an idea, it’s a continuous process.

LSM : And finally, what does the future have in store for, Herve?

Joshua : Working on my album right now. New EP coming very soon on Skint. A real spread of what I’m up to on it with a couple of great features.

Once again, thanks for your time Joshua.
