The story behind the record

I’m still amazed how from a track posted on this blog we ended up releasing it. So let me recapitulate the different steps in this Brussels/Tokyo collaboration…

Episode 1 (February): The Louie Gee Ensemble’s version of Rene Costy’s classic is posted on the Laid Back blog and we start exchanging emails with the Jazzy Sport crew about a potential release.

Episode 2 (April): Jazzy Sport’s manager Taro brings us Mitsu’s remix for the B side

Episode 3 (June): Pre-order on Rush Hour and final design


Episode 4 (July): Meeting Mitsu at the Dour festival


Episode 5 (early August): Test Press


Final episode (end August): Fresh from the pressing plant.
