Kid Unknown - Nitemare Remixes

caludm, Dec 06, 2003

This was originally on 106 Records, but we only made 3 Test Pressings. When I eventually put it out (after Warps half finished version) it was on Essence.

After Nipper allegedly stole the DAT from the studio, he took it to Warp who bought it off him there and then for a few hundred quid. According to Stev (Studio Manager) Nipper never did jack to the track. I cant say for certain as I was not there.
However it seems obvious when you look at the other Kid Unknown tracks that he couldnt write a sick note let alone a great Breaks track.

This version was originally going to be credited as by Aurora 7 (another shit name by Stev, like 106 Records from his Juno keyboard). The mixes here are the complete finished versions, the warp release is a half completed studio demo.

There was a legal battle after all this, but I wasnt arsed really. I Just put this version out for a laugh.
Maybe to do someones head in I suppose.
Dont know who, cause Ive never met Nipper, and quite admire Warp.

I think we only made 500 copies?

Cal.
