Scott Grooves - Mothership Reconnection
20th Anniversary Soma


The fact that Soma records is celebrating their 20th anniversary (1991-2011) makes me feel more than a little old. But with this age comes the wisdom to know what was dope then, now and what will push the boundaries to the next level. The third EP from Somas 20th Birthday series is a monster release. The Scott Grooves classic is reworked by a very-much on-form Claude VonStroke. Joining Claudes remix is the legendary Daft Punk Remix that was featured on the original release back in 1998 along with Scotts original.

2011 will see Soma Recordings celebrate their 20th year of releasing stunning and eclectic music from across the electronic spectrum. The label will release a series of singles throughout the year (some vinyl and some digital) , containing
remixes of Soma╣s extensive catalogue , including remixes of their big tracks like Scott Grooves Mothership Reconnection (famously remixed, previously, by Daft Punk), Funk DVoids Diabla, Slams Stepback and H-Foundations Tonight to name a few. These releases culminate in a CD box-set released in September, containing a collection of their favourite remixes, Hidden Gems from Somas 20 back-catalogue and also several exclusive tracks and DJ mixes, including one by
Label co-founders SLAM.

I decided on using the artwork form the Parliament record because it easily trumps the Soma release art and looks so much crispier on the page.
