The first of a new series on this blog where we upload previously unreleased Heatwave productions, mash-ups, live recordings etc that have for some reason managed to avoid ever being available online.

Here's a refix that Henry Heatwave put together over four years ago, sweetly blending Capleton's 90s classic Tour with the electro anthem Flat Beat by Mr Oizo. We cut it to dubplate back then in the vinyl-only days and it's now one of those records that's in a bit of a state from being played so much.

MP3: Capleton & Mr Oizo - Flat Tour (The Heatwave Refix)

In Henry's own words:

Flat Beat's style and sound made a big impression on me at the time. It's a shame it got drafted by Levi Jeans for their stupid adverts so I had to put someone like Capleton on it to help erase that ridiculous puppet from my mind when I play it.

I did think he looked too young to be Capleton as a rasta given he didn't convert until the mid 90s when he was almost 30

I got it from this website which goes to show you can't trust your sources - http://www.mynewsletterbuilder.com/tools/view_newsletter.php?newsletter_id=1409624157

Here it is labelled Lutan Fyah - http://images.musicclub.it/foto/lu/big/LUTAN_FYAH.tif.big.jpg
