Riva Starr & Fatboy Slim (feat. Beardyman) - Get Naked (Louis La Roche 'Is it summer yet?' Remix)

Just a quick one, we all have our favourite and LLR is certainly one of ours. Great remix of a great track, good bouncy French disco styled and reworked beat. It does already make us look forward to summer.

Riva Starr & Fatboy Slim (feat. Beardyman) - Get Naked (Dub Mix)

We might be a little behind with this but it was only released on Beatport two days ago, so we are sort of topical still. 

London Based, Stefano Miele Riva Starr has teamed up with the tour de force that is Norman Cook and beatboxer Beardyman to produce this excellent destined for the clubs track.

I've found this to be the best remix of it so far, with it's pastiches to classic club tracks that have gone before it, a rasping drum beat, plinky electro sounds and a menacing bass line. It all goes together quite perfectly and makes me quite nostalgic.
