DESCRIPTION:
Message In The Music: The Ashley Beedle Re-Edits. Out 10/02/2014!

Message In The Music: The Ashley Beedle Re-Edits must hold the world record for being the longest-ever time that a compilation has been in development! The project first began way back in November 2009 and has mutated every year since then, until we finally got the album that we wanted to release. Within the previous four years we have had to deal with missing master tapes, companies changing ownership, deals finishing etc, etc, so the track-listing has evolved organically, which was exactly right for this project.

Many of these tunes are appearing on CD for the first time and, as usual, Ashley's superbly eclectic and wide-ranging taste in music has delivered a project which is jam-packed with innovation and experimentation. CD1 takes a trip through some early 1970's cult dance rock classics from Family, Ace, Cado Belle, Ruth Copeland and even the Fall before branching into some seriously rhythmic and percussive rare dance classics from Panama, Brainstorm, New York Port Authority, Los Africanos, the 8th Day, Bill Withers & Cymande. CD2 features some awe-inspiring selections from the Soul/Funk/Rare-Groove arena with Brainstorm, Holland-Dozier, Gene Chandler, Donna McGhee, Three Pieces, Switch, The Gap Band, Kyle Auldist, the Astra Nova Orchestra, Doris Duke and Heaven N' Hell to round off an incredible musical journey. Each and every tune has the usual sure-fire signatures of a top-notch Ashley Beedle re-edit and should easily follow the recent successes of Ashley's 12" releases, Yardism 1 & 2 (DJ magazine's Record of the Week for both releases).

Also included within the package, will a bonus DVD featuring a full Ashley Beedle interview about the making of Message In The Music with a track-by-track analysis with DJ Magazine's Ben Murphy grilling Ashley about his studio work and how he became one of the worlds' foremost Re-Edit experts. Plus we also include a 20 page booklet with sleeve notes by Ben Murphy and exclusive pics of Ashley from a brand new session.

Message In The Music will run another huge-profile PR campaign which take in all key music related publications and all online activity throughout January and February 2014. The album will be promoted to radio from the 9/01/2014 with a sustained 4 week campaign up to the release date and beyond including a large number of Ashley Beedle interviews on key shows. After 4 years in the making, we can't wait to see this album finally reach the public. Make no mistake -- the wait has been worthwhile!
