Layo & Bushwacka’s ‘Love Story’ and Kings Of Tomorrow’s ‘Finally’ were undoubtedly two of the most memorable dance records of recent years. Both records were huge club anthems but surprisingly never quite performed in the charts. Now they’ve come together as one. What are we talking about? Well here’s the story …

‘Love Story’ first made its appearance on white label at the end of 2001. It soon took on a life of its own and was eventually released on XL in June 2002. Over the summer it became apparent that this record is not ready to go away – it’s was THE record that everyone played week in, week out in Ibiza, the demand for the 12” was huge (it sold over 15,000 copies in two months over the summer before it was deleted). It was THE record of the year for such luminaries as Pete Tong, Judge Jules, Roger Sanchez, Dave Seaman and Stanton Warriors.

Last January Matthew Bushwacka! made a bootleg using the Kings of Tomorrow 'Finally' vocal over the top of 'Love Story'. He’s been ripping up the dancefloors with it ever since. The demand for this bootleg has been so high that XL Recordings have managed to get the sample cleared and are ready to release it on July 7th through Remote Control Records. The combination of both tracks should be unstoppable!!!

As well as Bushwacka!'s bootleg the new 'Love Story' package includes Tim Deluxe's new vocal mix that is also based around the KOT sample, plus a new 'Love Story' remix by Stanton Warriors and a very large new house track by Layo & Bushwacka! called 'Where Did We Go Wrong?'

Since the release of their critically acclaimed debut album ‘Low Life’ on The End Recordings in 1998, Layo & Bushwacka!’s profile as internationally respected producers and DJs has grown and taken on a life of it’s own. With residencies in Brazil, Argentina, Ibiza and of course their spiritual home, The End in London, their DJ-ing skills have earned them an almost reverential position amongst the dance cognoscenti. Their second album ‘Nightworks’ pushed things further forward whilst keeping it underground and totally real. It won rave reviews across the board and firmly established them as two of the most innovative producers around.

Layo & Bushwacka! have also transferred the album to a live arena. Having successfully done this at a number of European festivals, the timing duo returned to Australia in March for the Two Tribes festival tour.
