(original release notes) Norm Talley's The Journey has been one of the biggest dj tools over the past two years. Preparing for a European dj tour in early 2010, Scott Grooves was motivated to make a special version of Norm Talleys track to give him the edge over other djs using the original version, and to give himself a secret weapon. Made in collaboration with Kataconda, and calling themselves Panther, here is Scott's remix.

Making special edits for his personal use is something Scott Grooves has always done. After the tour, Scott sent the new version to Third Ear so we could hear it. Our response was to ask Scott if we could release it. Scott has never allowed any his personal edits to be released before, so this is a first. His decision was made in part to introduce Kataconda, the other half of the Panther production team.

The Journey beats are on the flip. Scott told us that djs always need beats and as The Journeys beats are quite distinctive and recognizable, it made sense to do just that.

Record label. What is the Third Ear sound? Music made primarily but not exclusively with computers synthesisers and turntables/ controllers as the musical instruments. Nearly all the music we release is with DJs in mind. Not always. If we're feeling it we want to release it. Go to www.third-ear.net for more releases with full track preview and podcasts.
