Leeroy Thornhill's 'Lowrise EP' returns reissued & remastered


One of the most rare and limited records within the oldskool hardcore, the banging 'Lowrise EP' by Leeroy Thornhill is reissued on a fresh remastered version by the UK label, Fundamental Frequencies.
"After a brief hiatus we're back with the release of the 1993 debut EP of former dancer and keyboardist Leeroy Thornhill. The first of two self-released 12" during his time with the group, Lowrise EP was recorded in the frantically fruitful climate between the release of Experience and Music for a Jilted Generation dropped. Leeroy is still hard at it producing and DJing all over the world and just has published a book about his time in the Prodigy called 'Wildfire - My Ten Years Getting High In The Prodigy'. Remastered from the original DATs with the lacquer cut by Beau Thomas" - Fundamental Frequencies (Source)

 

Each of the four tracks delivers the classic energy and dancefloor fuel that defined the rave era. Pianos, horns, rolling breakbeats, and a touch of acidity run throughout, encapsulating the vibe of the original release, which first dropped on December 6th, 1993. Above board, any limited copies from that time, command high prices.

This superb reissue will be available on 12’’ black vinyl, meticulously remastered from the original source material, with the lacquer expertly cut by Beau Thomas, preserving the integrity of the original while offering a refined listening experience. Without a doubt, this should be one of the first records you pick up this new year.

On a personal note, few months ago Leeroy Thornhill released his memoir book 'Wildfire: My Ten Years Getting High in The Prodigy' via White Rabbit and he's touring all over the world, while his former band, The Prodigy, have just finished their 'Disrupta UK Tour' gearing up for a takeover in Australia next month.
