Grammy-nominated producer, remixer, composer and DJ, Paul Woolford has been redefining and reinventing every form of dance music for over 20 years. Paul adds another huge remix to the track's rich history, which has gone through numerous iterations over its 20-year history.
In the early 2000s, London DJs Layo & Bushwacka! recorded the track "Love Story," sampling a bassline from the 70s art punk band Devo and a vocal from Nina Simone's "Rags & Old Iron." The track became an anthem during the DJ duo's residency at The End nightclub. Throughout 2002, its popularity in underground clubs grew to the point where it was being played by DJs worldwide.
To freshen it up for his sets, Matthew "Bushwacka!" B, started playing the a cappella vocal from another current club track, Kings Of Tomorrow's "Finally," and Over the Top Hot remixer Tim Deluxe then remixed Matthew's bootleg version, titling it "Love Story (vs Finally)." This version became a club hit and a top 10 UK chart single when it was released on January 13, 2003.
20 years later, the remix has been released by XL Recordings on 12" vinyl with "Love Story (Original Version)" on the B-side. [distribution info sheet]
