I know you’re probably sick to death of I was drunk remixes by now, but in all honesty i don’t know why Shooting Horses aka Rob Swain didn’t throw this about earlier. Its a good remix and his own track Jungle People is more of a house jump up type affair. Have to show the man some love, after all he studied in Nottingham for 3 years!

Shooting Horses – Fresh out of death mix 009
Rob Swaine aka Shooting Horses, is a London-based DJ and producer who takes his name from Horace McCoy’s ‘They Shoot Horses Don’t They?’ one of his favourite novels. Its nice to see DJ’s/Producers with an affinity toward books, and its even nicer when they put together a special mix just for you. He recently dropped his debut 3 Track EP ‘Lekker’ on DubNoir, and is currently working on a slew of new material and remixes.
This mix is number 9 in our series, and after almost a two year hiatus, its a perfect choice for a comeback. Shooting Horses explores what I can only describe as the warped ‘bassier’ side of house music in the UK, whilst maintaining a solid house groove. Effortlessly mixing various styles into one coherent mix is not an easy feat, yet this is as smooth as the new guy, and he even looks a bit like him.
All jokes a side, Shooting Horses always delivers well thought out sets, and is solid on the production front. He also writes for our friends Loose Synths! Definitely one to watch….
