b'I had a week off recently and whilst digging around for tunes online I rediscovered a chunk of early remixes by Terry Farley and Pete Heller of Junior Boys Own fame. In the early 90s I was a big fan of their work under the Fire Island and Roach Motel monicas. This session pulls together some of my favourite FI/RM looped bassline grooves and brass stabs.

We open in 1992 with Sunsreem\\u2019s classic Perfect Motion, slide through dubs of Juliet Roberts and Monie Love (two records I foggily recall mixing back-to-back continuously one morning after Flesh at the Hacienda), In Your Bones reminds me of dancing downstairs at Paradise Factory with Selina, and as one of the finest house tunes ever produced, Movin\\u2019 On has to be one of my Desert Island Discs.

Transatlantic was a tune Ted used to play at post-Strangeways chill outs, and we close with a blissful Balearic take on New Order\\u2019s Regret - not a great dance floor moment, but a regular on the car stereo driving to work in my Key103 days.

All this seems pretty fitting as Junior Boys Own hosted their own event in London last night (according to the Guardian Guide, their first in 16 years) and much of the catalogue is now reissued through Defected, although I\\u2019ve tried to steer around some of those more obvious classics.

Most of the tunes are from \\u201992 - \\u201995 so I\\u2019ll also upload this to the Classic Archive podcast. Apologies if you get duplicates. Enjoy!
