Earlier this year, house veterans Luke Solomon and Derrick Carter announced the relaunch of their storied Classic imprint, an effort that began with the reissue of the label’s back catalog. Now, the duo has begun to offer brand-new music once again. First up was this month’s Interceptor EP from Solomon himself. Before the end of the year, Classic will also be dropping Solomon’s collaboration with Chris Duckenfeld (the “acid-inspired” Milk & Cookies EP), remixes of DJ Ali’s “You Don’t Know” by Matt Tolfrey and Roy Davis Jr’s “About Love” by Ashley Beedle and Yam Who?, as well as EPs from JT Donaldson & Tim Kvasnosky, Marc Ashken, and The Crooked Man.
To celebrate all this activity, Solomon and Carter have put together a series of parties they’ve dubbed the Classic Is Your Friend Tour, which will be making various stops around Europe between October and January. Solomon has also put together a special Classic Is Your Friend mixtape, which you can find below along with the complete tracklist and list of tour dates.
