Ozone Breakdown
(Leeroy Thornhill Rewire – Extended)

Press Info:
Renegade Soundwave are one of the most influential and innovative acts to emerge from the UK’s late-1980s electronic underground. They refused to recognise genre boundaries, blending sound system culture with heavyweight bass, breakbeats, house, industrial textures, punk attitude and dub production to create a sound that was years ahead of its time. Landmark releases including The Phantom, Ozone Breakdown, Women Respond To Bass, Probably A Robbery and the seminal album RSW In Dub helped shape the DNA of UK electronic music.

Now the RSW brand is back to inspire and delight a new generation. Founding member Danny Briottet approached the Jack Said What team with new music, and also the idea of reworking some of the RSW back catalogue. Legendary Brit DJ Carl Cox has long cited The Phantom as one of his favourite tracks of all time, and he was one of the first to agree to be a part of this ‘Rewired’ project. Carl has been rinsing his rework of The Phantom at his [UNVRS] gigs in Ibiza every week throughout the summer, providing the perfect launchpad for the RSW remix project to blast off into the stratosphere.

A who’s who of beats and bass culture have now also reworked choice RSW cuts. RSW Rewired is not a remix album in the traditional sense. Every invited artist worked from newly recorded stems created specifically for the project, giving them the freedom to deconstruct, reshape and rebuild each track into something entirely their own while preserving the spirit of the original compositions.

Every artist involved — all originators in their own unique ways — has professed love and admiration for Renegade Soundwave, and jumped at the opportunity to rework such an influential act.

First up in the series is Leeroy Thornhill. After spending a mad decade with The Prodigy during the 1990s, Leeroy left the all-conquering band to pursue a solo career. Since then he’s played all over the world and become an expert breakbeat rave producer himself. Drawing on rave dynamics from the get-go of his revamp of Ozone Breakdown, Leeroy immediately sets off down a breakbeat pathway. Judicious use of the vocal, snippets of scything rave stab and deep burrowing b-line power this home.

Carl Cox, Leftfield, 808 State, Thievery Corporation, Mr C, Freestylers, Dub Pistols, Altern8, Don Letts & Gaudi, Youth, Justin Robertson, Ray Keith, Nookie, Jon Carter, Utah Saints and Pattern Perception are just some of the names who have rewired RSW tracks by putting their own fresh spins on them. There are some absolutely cracking reinterpretations on this huge, amazing package, with plenty more coming too.

Press Info:
Definitive Recordings reissues Plastikman’s classic Acid House Mix of his own ‘Do Da Doo’ feat. Marshall Jeﬀerson. Evergreen stars Jamie Jones and DJ Minx serve up their own new remixes.

First released in 1993, and now re-recorded with new vocals by Marshall Jeﬀerson, techno mainstay Richie Hawtin dropped this tune under his Robotman alias. It became an instant underground crossover classic and a cornerstone of the Definitive label’s early catalogue, capturing Hawtin at a time of great innovation. It was also a significant factor in merging the house and techno worlds together, with the track adopted by leading DJs from both genres. Upon its initial release, the credits attributed the track to a ‘Richard Michaels’. Hawtin’s father, Mick Hawtin, was also used in the campaign image across press and merchandise. Mick Hawtin worked as a robot technician in the General Motors car factory and inspired the track.

Jamie Jones steps up first and is one of the most notable DJs and producers in the scene. His Hot Creations label and Paradise party are where he continues to explore the intersection of house and techno. This remix features his signature low-end bounce and futuristic tech house sound, complete with stark, laser-like synth lines and funky drum patterns. It’s a warm sound designed to energise the club.

Next is Motor City guardian DJ Minx, who heads up the DJ collective ‘Women on Wax’ and has been an ambassador for Detroit house and techno around the world since the 90s. She dropped the underground minimal hit ‘A Walk in the Park’ on Hawtin’s Minus label in 2004 and now comes full circle with this remix. She leans into deeper, more swung drums and shows knowing restraint by building freaky vocal fragments and lush chords that keep dancers locked in the groove.

Last but not least is the original Plastikman Acid House Mix, spanning nearly 12 minutes of deep, hypnotic pressure. Classic 909 drums and a signature 303 bassline intertwine throughout. The acid line changes shape and texture from smooth to more prickly, and the percussion keeps dancers locked in for what is a truly mind-melting trip.

NovaFuture Notes:
“Do Da Doo” was originally released with other remixes by Definitive Recordings in 1993. In 1994 the “Plastikman Acid House Remix” came out separately. For Europe Mute’s sublabel NovaMute released most of the stuff in 1994 (NoMu35) but there were missing the “Hard House Mix” and John Acquaviva’s version. Instead NovaMute’s records had a remix by David Holmes and a version called “Drum Dub”.

This release from 2026 has new remixes.

The release is credited to Richard Michaels – an alias of Richie Hawtin.
