“To celebrate the 21st anniversary of How About Some Ether I had initially intended to just remaster the original tunes. In order to locate them a trawl through an inordinate amount of DAT tapes was in order. My labelling skills have never been above mediocre and so it proved to be a laborious task. It was whilst performing this search that I discovered a substantial amount of unreleased work. Not having listened to it for the better part of two decades I was surprised by how many songs had stood the test of time. With this in mind I decided to include much of the new trove in the form of bonus discs.
Disk 1 & 2 contain the original tracks in the same running order, but without segues and re-mastered. Disk 3 and 4 is the bulk of the recently unearthed work.
Ten of the selections on the 95 release were in fact culled from considerably longer versions. Disk 5 contains six of the unadulterated ‘mother’ tracks unabridged.
The debut Solid Doctor releases were in fact four 12”’s entitled Losing Patients Vol 1 to 4 with a total of ten songs thereon, four of which were eventually included on HASE. The re-mastered omissions constitute Disk 6.”

LUUNA was born in York in late 2015. A meeting of three musical worlds, the group draws from a broad sphere of influence to produce a unique sound which lies somewhere between woozy melodic trip hop and dark, complex pop.
In the summer of 2016 they released their first music on soundcloud, 'A Big Fat Something', a track they were asked to create as part of a PRS funded project. The song was received to critical acclaim and strong radio support followed from BBC Radio 1, BBC Introducing, 6Music and Amazing Radio.
Since then the band have continued to write, record, laugh, perform, drink wine, and explore the North of England. In December 2016, a year after their formation the band signed a deal to work with up and coming label, Young Thugs Records.
LUUNA have recorded and self produced the Moonflower EP which is set for release on Vinyl, CD & Digital on the 6th March 2017.
LUUNA is purelove. A project born out of the desire to create freely without limitation or destination, driven solely by the enjoyment of shared expression.

SYNKRO & ROBOT KOCH REMIXES:
Synkro's ambient bass led rework of 'Blood', details texture whilst obliging his signature production technique. After the success of his 2015 album 'Changes' Synkro joins Pegdoll to remix Ecuador's 'Blood'.
Robot Koch lays down atmospheric melodies, intertwined with a back to the future electronic sound. Accentuating Bo Bruce vocals and adding the Robot Koch style.
Synkro has released music on R&S Records, Houndstooth and Brownswood. Robot Koch is a Red Bull Music Academy alumni, has previously remixes and collaborated with Tensnake, Norah Jones and Max Richter. Described by Dazed and Confused as 'A galactic aesthetic of ten ton beats and space age melodies'
EQUADOR:
Singer Bo Bruce and producer / musician Henry Binns met whilst working on tracks for what would become Bo's top ten debut album in 2013, and immediately hit it off as a writing duo. In 2015 the pair holed up in the Zero 7 studio, Henry being one half of that hugely popular Mercury nominated group, writing and recording early versions of what would become the new album by Equador.
Musician friends dropped by and added touches of inspiration and occasional production wizardry, most notably hiatus and Jodi Milliner, who contributed to most tracks on the record.
The result is an album of extraordinary beauty, taking Bo's distinctive voice, and fusing it with a unique sound that combines elements of 90's down-tempo ambience coupled with the haunting sound of 60's mellotron and wurlitzers.
First fruit of the album comes on July 1st in the form of the stunning double A side Bones of Man / Blood, the latter track already having clocked up strong support from fan bases of both artists when a video was released in the Spring. The album, Bones Of Man, is released in September on Pegdoll Records.
