Rare and out-of-print Patchworks versions collected on 12″ wax! Anyone into the vintage soul sound should already be familiar with Bruno “Patchworks” Hovart’s stellar remixes and edits, and if you’re not up on his work – it’s time to get familiar! For this EP, Favorite has gathered the very best soul and funk extended versions from the Patchworks vaults and hooks them up on thick, loud import vinyl. Every track on here is golden, from the classic Larry Levan favorite “Stand On The Word,” to soulful groovers like “I’ll Do Anything For You” and “Brothers On The Slide,” Patchworks does an incredible job extending and editing for the dancefloor, while maintaining the vibe for the headphones. 6 tracks in all, recommended.
