Ready for some Loop Recordings?
In and out of the mayhem that is Ibiza, two We Love… Space residents have been preparing for a winter musical onslaught. There has been a lot more going on than ‘just’ performing at what they consider to be the best party in the world.
The story started with Ian.C being invited by Martin ‘Smut’ Wood (also a We Love regular guest) and Jem Haynes to “come and have a jam in the rave cave with us”. Tracks were already in progress and a new label Loop Recordings was in its embryonic stage. The rave cave turned out to be a very nicely equipped studio in the countryside of south east England and with no outside distractions (or windows) to stop them, a series of many long, experimental and purposeful sessions ensued. Eight months later a bold new label is on the verge of being launched.
“All three of us bring something different to the table both live and in the studio. Martin plays guitar, Ian the drums and I am from a DJ and producing background,” says Jem. With that broad scope in mind, Loop Recordings makes total sense and actually came together pretty quickly. “We have the first 6 releases scheduled, (many of them road tested on the hallowed We Love dance floors by Jem) the first of which ‘Baby Come Back’ will be released in October after the We Love summer madness has ended.” To celebrate the end of “phase one”, Jem Haynes Sunset Terrace performance on the 12th of September will be joined by Ian.C before he performs with Alfredo. “We have all put in a great deal of effort and had a lot of fun creating the Loop sound”, says Smut, “it’s fantastic that new label tracks can be tested somewhere as special as We Love.”

As a pre-emptive strike to what is to come, the guys have given us a taster of their forthcoming sounds with a cheeky little audio / video remix of Gorillaz – Dirty Harry, which you can download here, and check the video below.
