(featuring Ian Brown of the Stone Roses)
Exclusive U.S. 12"
Emerging from UNKLE's highly acclaimed album Never, Never, Land comes the enigmatic new single, "Reign'. UNKLE's James Lavelle and Richard File have teamed up with the legendary Ian Brown of the Stone Roses to create a massively emotional, string laden masterpiece.
Global Underground's EXCLUSIVE U.S. 12" release of "Reign' is a set of breathtaking and exceptionally eclectic remixes from some of America's most innovative and respected producers. While all of the remixes utilize Ian Brown's chilling vocal, each gives the track its own unique twist. Whether it's the syncopated Def Jux swagger of the RJD2 mix, THREE A.M.'s (of Rabbit In The Moon remix fame) acid-tech-house romp, Morgan Geist's (of Metro Area) disco-funk slow burner of Beat Pharmacy's (Francois K's protege) bubbly, dubby bin-shaker - this is a piece of vinyl that will be on every discerning DJ's decks for some time to come.

STEVE PORTER
THREE :: Drawing accolades for his remix work and original projects from peers and contemporaries as varied as Laurent Garnier, Doc Martin, Sasha, and Tyrant... DJ and Hallucination Limited A&R man Three has hit the ground running after his relocation to New York earlier this year.
With two projects for Global Underground - a stellar radio edit of UNKLE's "Safe In Mind' (featuring Josh Homme of rock gods Queens Of The Stone Age) making waves on the modern rock radio format and his THREE A.M. remix of UNKLE featuring Ian Brown's "Reign' about to drop, his stint as special guest DJ on Sasha's Involver Fall US Tour, and the re-launch of the Hallucination Limited label - 2005 stands to be a pivotal year for this influential American DJ.
STEVE PORTER :: As one of the leading artists in the next generation of electronic music DJs/producers STEVE PORTER's prolific productions have garnered the attention of the top ranks and are propelling him into America's future star. He is now poised for his official coming out party with his debut artist album "Homegrown' on FDS Recordings in 2005.
His DJ sets are known to his fans as "Porterhouse," an eclectic range of funked-up house beats with a tech-edge and twisted jams induced by his own re-edits and mixes that uniquely characterize his sets. When Steve walks into a record store he examines every genre, picking the top gems from Disco to Techno to Trance and everything in between. The essence of Porterhouse brings back the energetic action to the dancefloor where the warm, funky basslines and cool percussion melt away any chin stroking pretensions and the resonating guitar and piano hooks lure you into an eternal groove. Porterhouse is party house.
