Altus Blog

So, this was my first release under the name of Altus. This came out on white label vinyl in May 2004.

The two mixes:
Original Soulful mix
Funked up mix

both went down with DJs in the, then, very trendy soulful house scene.

Due to a lack of promotion and backing, this record seemed bound for obscurity, despite copious airplay on credible London pirates such as House FM.

A label in South Africa, called “What’s Phat” licensed the funked mix for inclusion on the album “Another down tempo – mixed by Glenn Lewis”. For someone used to listening to their records at the intended speed, this was an odd album, but i went with it as i thought it couldn’t hurt. “If they like it at the wrong speed, then great!”, i thought.

Boyd by this unexpected interest, i decided to get back into the studio and remix the track…
