Deconstruction Records is back. In a joint venture between Sony’s Mike Pickering, one of the label’s founder members, and Three Six Zero Group's AnD press, the dance imprint has returned with a series of back catalogue releases before announcing new artist signings early in 2010.
Following the re-issue of Sasha’s ‘Xpander’, and with the emphasis on the cream of the label’s diverse back catalogue, the second release is Lionrock’s ‘Packet Of Peace’. As seminal early nineties records go, this one exploded the myth that dance, ragga and rock were incompatible bedfellows (several years ahead of Fatboy Slim and all things ‘big beat’).
The work of acid house bon viveur, Justin Robertson, alongside Roger Lyons and MC Buzz B, ‘Packet Of Peace’ crashed the Top 40, and led to one of Lionrock’s two memorable raids on Top Of The Pops’ HQ. Remixes came courtesy of two young upstarts called Tom and Ed aka the Chemical Brothers (‘Packet…’ was the duo’s first remix), and Jeff Mills.
The Chemical Brothers’ remix is released in part 1 alongside 21st century re-rubs from Deadstock 33’s, Spektre, and Hannah Holland, with Jeff Mills, Riva Starr, and Freeform Five forming part 2.
The debut album from Robertson’s new alter ego, Deadstock 33’s, will be released in 2010.  A new guise that delves deeply into the worlds of space disco and psych house, the project’s fans range from Groove Armada to Kissy Sellout, The Deadstock 33’s forthcoming EP on Paper, ‘We Could Be’, follows the acclaimed ‘Alone/Ascension’ EP.
