It’s a source of great pride here at NuNorthern Towers that all the artists on our latest release are either fully paid-up Scousers or they have spent significant time living right here in Liverpool. And what better occasion to gather some of Merseyside's most exciting young producers than to remix the divine Ragz Nordset. Hailing from Norway but settling upon the Mersey, she is certainly the finest purveyor of future folk that you will find in these parts.
We loved the original version of Sleepdancing, but we couldn't resist the chance to hook up Ragz with three young acts who are at the cutting edge of a revitalised club scene in Liverpool and far beyond…
With remixes #1 coming from Ron Basejam and BJ Smith, these mixes take a more electronic direction.
