Veena Harlem - Break It Down

Mancunian Lee Stanley, has a broad background in production and his writing talents were even spotted by the legendary Jocelyn Brown who invited him to write for her - high praise indeed.

Lee was also instrumental in signing Waiwan to EMI/Chrysalis imprint "Autonomy", on which Lee produced the 1998 album "Distraction", by Waiwan. During these formative years, Lee honed his production skills with a stream of remixes including DJ Skribble Feat. Busta Rhymes, Shola Ama, Beverley Knight and Sly and the Family Stone.

These two mixes are sure to be picked up by quality house DJs everywhere.

Sadly, for the time being, this is the last of our fully artworked sleeves. Buy more records and we will be able to do it again...arf!!
