Long Range Finish Remix For Break legends Hybrid

Long Range have completed a new remix for breaks legends Hybrid for release soon.


The track is called "Control" & is a new direction for Long Range as they have gone more Tech House than on previous mixes & productions.

This new direction Long Range are taking will also be prevalent on their next album which will be released on the LRR label.

The plan is to take the music into the commercial realm (what Phil as Orbital was known for) yet still trying to remain true to their original roots.

Long Range Complete Movie Score

Long Range have just completed the full score for Paul Andrew Williams new movie "Dummy".


They have delivered a very cinematic score that fully complements the movie.

You can see a snippet of the score on the Long Range MySpace: http://www.myspace.com/longrangemusic

Paul Andrew Williams is perhaps best known for his critically acclaimed, award winning movie "London To Brighton" which featured a young girls friendship with a street girl as she runs away from London to escape some violent gangsters which ends up leaving the girl in grave danger.

The movie should be screened in 2009 & is already a favourite within the festival circuit.

The Grid & Long Range Have Fun At The Great Escape Festival

The Grid & Long Range has a great time on the "20th Anniversary Of Acid House" panel hosted by John Robb at The Great Escape Festival.

The place was packed as they spoke about their time at what is perhaps one of the best era's for dance music.

Dave Ball reminisced at his time as Soft Cell & how important they were in the development of electronic music (along with Kraftwerk, Jean Michel Jarre & the likes), whilst Phil Hartnoll spoke of his time in Orbital with his brother Paul.

Richard Norris spoke of how The Grid's legendary track "Swamp Thing" was only meant to be a joke that ended up being an international hit!!

Nick Smith wondered what all the fuss was about as he was only a "nipper" (kid to all you US readers) when the "2nd Summer Of Love" erupted!!!


And how can we forget our brothers & sisters "across the pond" in the USA for their influence on our UK Acid House scene as together we all produced some classic Acid hits!

Props to Maurice, Roy Davis Jnr, Tyree, Marshall Jefferson, DJ Pierre & Josh Wink (who continues to be a major influence to the new breed of Acid producers such as the UK's Jesus Superstar! http://www.myspace.com/jesussup3rstar

John Robb was a fantastic host & we all enjoyed the day's events!

If you missed the festival.......SHAME ON YOU!!!
