press play #50 - Steve Kotey

Press Play #50 huh?! We've come a long way baby! If you've been reading these pages for any length of time, you'll know I might well be Bear Funk and Ambassador's Reception's number one fan (scary for them I know), which is why having Steve Kotey drop in for our 50th Press Play is a bit of a thing. What's more is, Steve has gone totally bonkers (or bananas even) and dug up some crazy jungle Disco madness for the ride. As you know a.n.o.e. has been on a serious diggers quest of late, resulting in some super fine mixes from Albion, Basso and The Very Polish Cut Out's, Steve's 'Banana Disco' literally takes the cake. 

While I'm here, it needs mentioning that you should keep an eye out for Steve's brand new label Valley Sound and their first release by Puller. Essential purchase. So all that remains is to thank Mr Kotey for this superb mix and for you to download it...

i think it was the mixes that either bear claw or bear funk use to post on their website that made me realize that a straight mix wasnt the end-all be-all. those and the wunderbar DJ-Kicks mix. if i really think about it, i remember hearing that Brian Briggs track (Aeo? or something like that) and thinking, wow, this kind of vibe is so effective.
