Fiona Apple’s “Horns Of A Bull” has been growing on me ever since it started appearing as the opening song for Apple TV+’s LUCKY. I wanted to hear where it would go over a proper dancefloor groove, so I gave it a try with one of this year’s solid deep house cuts — Mita Gami’s “All By Myself.” The two somehow clicked. Dark, hypnotic and a little unexpected.

Taken from a live recording in 1983. Prince here takes on his old school blues character to deliver an incredible vocal performance on the Piano. Time Correcting each bar to a grid was not easy but thanx to his foot stomping it acted as the click track i needed. My approach was to add suitable drums & to leave the song intact. I added bits of his interview with Larry King at the top for extra perspective.

After Frankie Knuckles played my SADE “Pearls & Headphones” mashup, he asked if I could make a private mashup of his classic “Your Love” with Jamie Principle for his arsenal. I was delighted to take on the task. Two weeks later, I presented him with my mashup. I chose Chus & Ceballos’ “Back To New York” as the foundation because the title and the track carried a deeper meaning for Frankie and his story. After his passing, so many tastemakers and DJs requested this version. It became clear to me that I should finally make it available here on my site.
