Release Date: 30th April 2012

Headman returns once again on his own Relish Recordings label with a superb new EP featuring new track ‘Turning’ and a near perfect package of remixes from Emperor Machine, Richard Fearless / Death in Vegas, Scott Fraser & Murphy Jax.

The latest single from Headman sees Insinna offer up the wonderful ‘Turning’, an 80’s tinged machine-funk vocal outing that comes on like a modern love child of Human League, New Order and Grace Jones. Robi’s tight yet rich production shines through on both the dub version and the original which features vocalist Tara, who previously appeared on the awesome ’It Rough’.

The originals of ‘Turning’ are complimented by two remixes, the first comes from Emperor Machine AKA Andy Meecham, one half of the hugely influential Chicken Lips. Meecham’s mix is the kind of epic, extended masterpiece that has you shaking for the full nine minutes to it’s conclusion.
The second mix comes from Scott Fraser, here he delivers a pulsing, Moroder-esque reworking that is a heads down, disco delight.

Added to the package we have two remixes of ‘Be Loved’, Headman’s last single. The first comes from Richard Fearless, here he turns in a truly storming mix that segues from a distorted leftfield intro into an acid house classic! The second mix and the final piece in the puzzle is supplied by Murphy Jax who takes ‘Be Loved’ and works it into a warm, percussive house workout.

The release received amazing support from Andrew Weatherall, Jack / Friendly Fires, Rex the Dog, Maya Jane Coles, Roman Fluegel, Trevor Jackson, Erol Alkan, Eric Duncan / Rub’n'Tug / Still Going, Alex Metric, Ewan Pearson, Rory Phillips, Severino + Jim Stanton (Horse Meet Disco), JD Twitch / Optimo, Jori Hulkkonen, Nickolas Chacona, Claudio Coccoluto, Mock & Toof, In Flagranti, Villa, Dan Avery, Chris Duckenfield, Richard Norris and many more…

Scott Fraser is a Glaswegian drummer who turned to drum machines during the 80’s acid house wave. He went on to produce Chicago house and Detroit techno influenced box jams throughout the 90’s. International DJ and live appearances followed including Detroit and Berlin. His early work includes releases on UK’s Emissions Audio Output Records as well as Black Nation Records and Wave Music in the US.

Scott’s studio is now residing in Andrew Weatherall’s legendary East London bunker. He has recently remixed Virgo Four and the upcoming Headman single Turning whilst his original productions have heralded releases on Astrolab France (featuring remixes from Mark E), Remains The Same on Andy Blake’s World Unknown label and the killer track A Life With Silence which Weatherall will release on his new Birdscarer imprint as well as including it on his upcoming mix CD for Ministry Of Sound.

On Relish Scott delivers a 3 track E.P. entitled Light Sleeper, still following the same path of slow, machine funk driven techno.
The E.P. starts off with Centerville, a dubbed out kosmische funk track. Next comes Convenient Injunction, which is slower acid meets Detroit. On Paraphrase Mine, Scott keeps it funky and adds a murderous bass which drives and drives and drives…
The first remix comes from studio neighbour Timothy J. Fairplay who was part of the legendary band Battant and now engineers for the likes of Andrew Weatherall, Death In Vegas and Daniel Avery (Stopmakingme). His new production Xylophone will appear on Astrolab this Spring.
Finally, label boss Robi Insinnna / Headman contributes one of his unique reworks. Keeping the orginal spirit of the track, he adds his signature combination of melody and groove for the floors.
Support come from Daddy G /Massive Attack, erol alkan, in Flagranti, Hardway Bros, Joakim, Horse Meet Disco, Daniel Avery, Chloé, Matt Walsh, Disco Bloodbath, Felix Dickinson, Remain and many more…
