10 Year anniversary Limited edition 3 x CD with Idjut Boy Remixes

from Claremont 56

A friendly note to USA customers :) - I'm afraid the shipping costs are ludicrous at the moment and this is the cost of sending it tracked and signed to you. Please contact either Pacific Beach or Vinyl Dreams on the West Coast or, Octopus Records on the East and they will get it in for you to save money on this. Just to be clear, I do not make any money from postage. Thanks! Paul

EU customers, your shipments will be sent as a Tracked & Signed service - please check Juno as it may be cheaper to ship from there.

Lastly, you may have to pay your countries customs charges which I have no control over.

Hand numbered limited edition of 1000. Gold foil obi strip.

MORE PHOTOS/DETAILS COMING SOON

In the spring of 2007, musician and producer Paul ‘Mudd’ Murphy decided to launch his own label. Named after the house he grew up in, Claremont 56 would release beautiful music by friends, associates, collaborators and like-minded musicians.

In the 10 years that have passed since, Claremont 56 has more than surpassed Murphy’s modest expectations. It has built up a cult following around the world, with listeners responding positively to the label’s combination of magical music, beautiful artwork, and impeccable packaging.

To mark the label’s first decade, Murphy has put together a sumptuous vinyl box & 3 CD set of previously unheard material, produced and presented with the same attention to detail that listeners have come to expect. Featuring a mixture of unreleased tracks and brand new remixes of vintage label releases, the highlights come thick and fast.

As you’d expect, some of the most impressive contributions come from those artists you could describe as “legendary”, including Chicago deep house originators Larry Heard and Ron Trent. Can legend Holger Czukay kindly contributes one of the standout moments, the eccentric ‘Music To Be Murdered By’, from his own unreleased catalogue, while Afro-cosmic pioneer Daniele Baldelli joins forces with Marco Dionigi to deliver a typically spacey remix of Bison’s ‘Familiar Stranger’. There’s also an epic, Afro-tinged dub disco remix of Smith & Mudd’s ‘Nether’ by Norwegian scene founder Bjorn Torske.

Elsewhere, Good Timin’ man Jex Opolis turns an overlooked track by Paraiso into a samba-boogie killer, Sean P dubs out Zee Erf’s beautiful cover of ‘Southern Freeez’, and Phil Mison turns FreshRo’s laidback electrofunk cut ‘Pacific State’ into a breezy, Balearic gem. Look out too, for the emotion-rich beauty of Statues’ ‘River Darkness’ – a track arguably worth the cost of the cd on its own – and the deep space explorations of Almunia’s Leo Ceccanti.

We could go on, but we’re running out of space. Suffice to say, Claremont 56: 10 Years is a lovingly compiled, curated and presented celebration of the label’s first decade.
