Le Beat Bespoke, Vol. 1
Initially released in May 2004, this made to measure album offers an insight into London club promoters the New Untouchables. It highlights DJ Rob Bailey's inspired track selection and ability to move seamlessly from one musical style to the next. All, naturally, done with restraint and good taste, but at the same time, compelling the listener to groove along with it all. Made up from a diverse collection of tracks - club sounds, hip 60's newies and old Mod scene fave raves. Add to these, two unique Bailey re-mixes on "Sexologie" and "Du Hast Mich/Glory Be", and you really have something special. Le Beat Bespok offers the listener a perfectly tailored playlist that captures that magical and mysterious side of the decade better known as the Swinging Sixties! 'For what very well may be the first major compilation of the post-freakbeat haze from which we have hopefully emerged, Brian Poust finds Le Beat Bespoke more smart than swirly... for the most part...Le Beat Bespoke compiles 25 tracks of primarily English and European origin, which, as the title implies, are hand picked and well-suited amongst each other. Early opinion collected through underground reconnaissance suggests many of these tracks are well worn around the London club scene and have run their course.'
