Thought I was getting MEDI082, instead:

Ordered a 12" test pressing on Discogs of Commodo feat. JME - Shift. Got a test pressing that seemed fine, markings said “MEDI082” so I thought it was fine, except it was single-sided. No matter, I played it…lo and behold, it was a different track altogether.

After research I found out that in fact it is this track, Gantz “Free Focus (Commodo Remix)”:

I think this is still unreleased. But this isn’t on acetate, it’s on pressed vinyl. I suppose it could be lathe cut, but I’ve never heard of lathe cutting onto actual vinyl, it’s always just PVC or acetate, and the type of label and the weight are clearly that of pressed vinyl.

But as far as I know, this track was never pressed commercially. But I guess it was maybe for DJs…?

What the actual fuck. I’m confused.

Oh I wasn’t aware they pressed dubs as well, yeah I guess since Deep Medi probably has a good relationship with a pressing plant they can get short-runs pressed. I’m def holding onto it though sorry :wink:

gantz free focus with this b-side would be :corndance: :corndance: :corndance:

Prove it, send me the plate so I can verify it. Or record a wav of it and send that over

If it was a promo surely it’d be a promo of the whole release not just one tune?

ahhhh… I saw that TP for sale :frowning:

I am so, so jealous.
I’ve bought TPs off of that guy before but they always turned out to be what they were advertised as. Although I did get a TP of Jay 5ive & Kromestar - Knowledge EP off of him for about £4, so that was cool.
I guess that means that this tune is getting released at some point, which is good news!
