I’ve just come across this very recent Daniel Avery remix of Headman’s ‘Be Loved’, and had to post it. If, for nothing else, nostalgia’s sake. I had quite a few Headman records a while back, but they seem to have vanished. I think they may have all been taken in the great flood of spring 2016, when I lost around a quarter of my collection courtesy of a small pipe which went into the bathroom sink suddenly bursting when we were in France. Luckily one of my sons was passing the house at the time and he thought he’d pop in for some free nosh. Imagine his surprise top enter the kitchen to get showered and to soon find around an inch of water on the floor.I was in Monet’s garden in Giverny at the time, were it was also pissing down. Having to arrange an emergency plumber from another country wasn’t part of the plan, but we got it done. I dread to think what would have happened if the leak had gone undiscovered. Anyway, I lost a lot of records, amongst other stuff, including my collection of Headman heat. Luckily we’ve got people like Daniel Avery who are up for a reinterpretation. And this is truly excellent. A slo-mo bleep fest that pulses its way across the dance floor using a combination of low end sonar and high end brittleness. Losing my Headman records wasn’t my happiest moment, but it’s good to see a and hear that the chug and bleeps remain intact.
