Kiara Scuro Mix and Interview for DJ Mag’s Fresh Kicks
WE MADE A COMPILATION!
From the depths of our lockdown doldrums came the bright idea to make a Spun Out compilation. A project for us all to come together over in a time of troubles, to give ourselves a purpose and at the same time remind everyone of what we do and how special (in our opinion) the agency is.
It was also a way in which could honour our beloved family member and the agency's Guv'nor - Andrew Weatherall. One of Andrew's many excellent qualities was of course his sense of humour and that's why his tongue in cheek phrase "More Of That Frightful Oompty Boompty Music" seemed the perfect choice as the album's title. We have also managed to include an exclusive Hardway Bros remix of The Asphodells track "We Are The Axis" in salute to our dear friend.
Thanks to vinyl pressing plant delays and a few other hiccups we are only now able to deliver the finished product but we hope you agree, it was worth the wait.
The first vinyl EP is out on the 15th April with the second EP and 18 track digital album on the 29th April. Pre-order here: https://lnk.to/SPUND001
PARANOID LONDON JOIN THE SPUN OUT ROSTER.

Sharif Laffrey drops Deep House Amsterdam’s latest podcast.
Ahead of his new release on Throne of Blood Records Justin Robertson delivers the latest in their podcast series.
The EP 'My Sweet Machine' will be out digitally on May 17th.
Manfredas is something of a legend in his home of Vilnius, Lithuania. From running Smala, a club night and sporadic radio show alongside fellow DJs 12 INČŲ PO ŽEME, to opening up Amadeus – a DJ bar with a record shop above that is lovingly referred to as Manfredas’ Bar – he has been indebted to his local scene, arguably putting the city on the map on a global scale.
Sharif Laffrey with the latest instalment of the Deep House Amsterdam podcast series.
The latest mix in the GETME podcast series comes from Anna Lann, the conceptual interdisciplinary audio-visual artist, composer, producer and DJ who works in a variety of mediums, from visual arts and sound-design to film, performance and installation art. In her practice, she explores philosophical and scientific notions, using surreal situations to examine the boundaries between reality and fantasy, pushing the limits between object and subject.

For Mehmet Aslans’s latest EP on Basel's Planisphere Music, he delivers arguably his most detailed and intriguing production to date. Sampling Turkish singer-songwriter Deniz Tekin’s performance of the traditional Roma folk song ‘Ederlezi’, a centuries-old standard among the Romani minority.

Sharif Laffrey
We happy to announce another addition to the family as Sharif Laffrey joins us here at Spun Out. A true lynchpin on the Detroit underground music scene, Sharif has been DJing internationally for over 20 years with his roots firmly in the motor city. His most recent productions have seen the light on highly regarded imprints ESP Institue, Love On The Rocks and Discos Capablanca, whilst Sharif continues to head up his own label Special Forces.
Anna Lann
We're really excited to welcome Anna Lann into our Spun Out family. A kaleidoscope of creativity, Anna is an adept DJ, producer and singer-songwriter, creating dreamlike cosmic pop music one minute and downtempo techno weirdness the next.
Body Hammer
It's with great warmth and joy that we welcome Body Hammer into the arms of our Spun Out family. Comprising of duo Joe Hart & Scott Fraser, the London pair are inspired by the raw simplicity of early house music and their agenda is simple, to deliver dance music in its purest form.
Their parties don't feature guest DJs, instead allowing Joe & Scott ample time to flex with long b2b sessions spanning the entire night and in doing so creating a dance floor with a certain energy and a certain soul, something that’s becoming harder to find in these days in London.

Enjoy this brilliant mix Scott has kindly put together for us, and expect much more of this at the Festival this summer as he joins A Love From Outer Space, Timothy Clerkin and more on the Ransom Note takeover.
Whether it’s chugging cold wave, slo-mo electro or warped neo-trance, the music Manfredas writes and spins maintains a wild off-kilter charm that makes him one of the most exciting DJ/producers on the planet right now.

Weatherall say’s of the remix, “I’ll be honest, when executing a remix usually the first thing to go is the vocal track. There are however exceptions. Mr Lanegan singing ‘lightning coming out of the speakers’ (or let’s face it Mr Lanegan singing full stop) is one of those exceptions.”
