Edzy aka Unique 3

Please find attached 3 tracks that, strangely enough, make up a three track e.p.

These tracks are more ‘housey’ than deep and so would be released as ‘edzy’ not ‘Unique 3’ if you are interested in picking this little lot up, or hearing better quality copies, call me at Release The Groove Records, London on +44 (0)207 734 7712 or email me at: edzy@funklabs.com

While I’m on, if you have any empty spaces come up on your radio deejay list, please give me a thought (House FM 88.6 across London every Sunday 2-4pm)

Unique 3 has been cited by such luminaries as Goldie, LFO & The Chemical Brothers as their original inspiration, Unique 3’s early 80’s ‘Bleep House’ creating the start point for thousands of House Records to follow and ‘Activity’ by Unique 3 (it is wrote) being the original ‘break-beat’ track which later created ‘Jungle’, eventually ‘Drum & Bass’ & paved the way for Nu-Skool Breaks. The inclusion of Unique 3’s – ‘The Theme’ on both The Chemical Brothers album of tracks that inspired them to make music: ‘Brothers Gonna Work It Out’ & on Warp Records collection of early House tracks that inspired them to set up their world famous label, an album aptly titled: ‘Inspirations’, stands testament to this.

Unique 3 were recently reminded of their major role in the creation of early House Music scene when ‘The Theme’ was voted the number 1 track played at the The Haçienda in the ‘90s, voted number one by the world famous Deejay team who played there! – Due to a spate of recent bootlegs, The Theme is now being remixed, as part of a competition, the parts being offered up for producers to download from Warp’s http://www.bleep.com site, these parts have already been downloaded an amazing 3000 times – a download record for Warp !
