Global Underground returns with world's first super-deluxe DJ mix package
House | Thursday 3rd September 2015 | Annalisa
Global Underground has returned under the ownership of one of its original founders, Andy Horsfield.
The iconic British label’s series of DJ mix albums from the likes of Sasha, Solomun, Carl Cox, and many more helped define electronic music culture from the mid 1990s onwards and symbolised the explosion of international dance music. Featuring beautifully shot photography and extensive sleevenotes, the album releases have become collectors’ items, with many currently exchanged for significant sums online.
The label returns with GU41 Naples - James Lavelle Presents UNKLESOUNDS on 30th October. The album will be available in GU’s new Super-Deluxe DJ Mix Package format – a world first – alongside traditional physical and digital formats. The Super Deluxe Collectors package will include a 112 Page “Napoli Travelogue” Hard Back Travel Book featuring the stunning photography of Dean Belcher, alongside the deluxe version of the CD, a collection of Travel Postcards, all enclosed in a bespoke Red GU Box. James Lavelle's Naples Mix features a plethora of exclusive new UNKLE material alongside album exclusive UNKLE remixes of artists as broad as Queens of The Stone Age, Mark Lanegan Band through to Naples legends Planet Funk.
Founder and owner Andy Horsfield said: “GU has always done things differently - it’s what we do and what we’ve built the label’s reputation upon. Amazing timeless mixes by the world’s best DJs is a given, but we’ve always put a huge amount of time and effort into the album series with stunning photography and extensive sleeve notes - that’s why they’ve become so collectable, with previous Limited Editions now selling for a premium online. At a time when there’s a deluge of mediocre and disposable online DJ mixes its important for me to be able to give our artists an exciting and dynamic platform for their releases."
