Sad to hear J Saul Kane has left us. An all time great UK producer. He made so many great records but these 2 very early ones were just so far ahead of the pack at the time. Octagon Man - Free-er Than Free Depth Charge 1st 12" youtube.com/watch?v=9AXEZB… youtube.com/watch?v=XVxMdj…

RIP J Saul Kane - a very talented and influential producer

@nayfun_evans @grantnelson No, George employed him to take over from Grant and had him use Grant’s 42+ pseudonyms. Grant built Nice N Ripe not Jeremy. Jeremy picked up the legacy and built on it. Jeremy is a talent no question but he had to be to follow Grant’s legacy. It’s important to tell it right.

@timmedcraft @grantnelson Jeremy never "took over" the label.
