LATE NITE TUFF GUY

I’ve been pretty excited lately to feature new releases from fresh label Lightspeed Records, the latest project for Melbourne DJ turned producer Agent 86. Last month saw the first release, ‘Let There Be Light’, his own collection of funk-filled edits that included the Olivia Newton John inspired track ‘Magic‘ (you can grab it here if you missed the blog). Also on that release was ‘Wavestate‘ – a hands in the air disco/house bomb, which could easily be confused with any progressive floorfiller from Jaunt or Lifelike. Peep the retro video clip for Wavestate.

The second release for Lightspeed Records drops tomorrow with Adelaide’s HMC aka Late Nite Tuff Guy providing the aural soundscape. The EP, titled “Tuff Edits Volume 1″, is a brilliant debut release that features memorable re-workings of classic tracks from the likes of Jan Hammer & Kate Bush. ‘Changes‘ takes the baritone vocals of Gary Numan and blends it together with layers of percussion and an even deeper 808 bassline.

Here’s the video for the atmospheric, arpeggio driven ‘Eurotrac’ which was once the emotional theme song of a particularly well-dressed Miami Vice character.

The full release will be available from Juno Download tomorrow, August 31st, so be sure to show some love and support more amazing Australian talent.

Lightspeed Records has even bigger things planned for it’s third release and we’re hoping to be able to share that with you when it’s ready, so don’t go too far….but in the meantime you can keep up-to-date with all their movements at the following spots;
