Around 2015 I sat in the studio with Swift and we spent the best part of 5 days ripping a load of his DATs. Some of the tapes were snapped, but most of them worked, and there were loads of tracks on there that I remembered hearing at events in the early 2000s, including VIP mixes of Jaws (there’s actually a snippet of me playing it through some outboard on YouTube). The main reason we ripped them was because Swift was putting together his History LP at the time. It was also around the same period we made “Big Tune” featuring MC Dynamite. I don’t think he ever really did anything with a lot of the tracks we recovered. There were absolutely loads of them, and some of the tracks in these SoundCloud links might actually be from those DATs. It’s been a while now, but I remember him saying he felt some of the mixes weren’t quite right and wished he could go back and tweak them. This was before stem separation was really a thing, so back then it wasn’t exactly possible to revisit old DAT mixes in the way you probably could now. But I remember saying to him, they are what they are. Those tracks are the foundations and building blocks of what made his sound and legacy what it became.

I rememebr sitting the studio with swift talking about this mix, and he said that Pascal, Hype said it sounds to much like "The One" so he switched the bassline up and drum patten on the released version, yet add a nod to "the one" bassline style in the 2nd drop of the released version of reload

Paul Rayner aka Reasonable Force. Has this mix. Hit him up on Facebook or Instagram
