Today (2nd of August 2014), Mike Tournier (Fluke, Syntax) played a DJ Set on GK Radio that was streamed online. There was no new material but some interesting snippets came out. The setlist was:
My Bloody Valentine – Soon (Andy Weatherall Mix)
Bentley Rhythm Ace – Bentley’s Gonna Sort You Out
Les Negressess Vertes – Zobi la Mouche
Finitribe – 101 (Sonic Shuffle Edit)
Dub Federation – Space Funk
Grace Jones – La vie en Rose
Grace Jones – Love you to Life (maybe Mike Tournier Remix)
Easy Star All Stars feat. Dr. Israel – Brain Damage
Kruder & Dorfmeister – Bug Powder Dust
Louie Austen – One night in Rio
Tom Tom Club – Wordly Rappinghood
Syntax – Pride
The Doors – LA Woman (Paul Oakenfold Remix)
Minnie Riperton – Les Fleur
The set was comprised of older tracks that Mike liked from the party era (as he put it!)
Things we learned:
- Mike T. used to live with Pete Latham of Dub Federation in 1992
- Mike T. was responsible for the mix of Grace Jones’s “Love You to Life” that appeared in this set. It would be interesting to compare this with other versions to see if this is released but remains uncredited
- “Pride” by Mike Tournier/Jan Burton is remarkably similar to The Doors’ LA Woman, especially the Oakenfold remix!
