Having become a word-of-mouth dancefloor phenomenon over the summer, DJ Koze’s much talked-about extended disco edits of Låpsley’s ‘Operator’ today get a full release.

“When I heard Låpsley´s ‘Operator’ for the first time, I thought that it was unique and perfect and didn’t need a remix at all, but what I could imagine was in fact a 10 minute-lasting, slowly unwrapping-itself version in a Larry Levan style, playing and dubbing around with the original stems, providing some gimmicks while imagining the moon with the spoon in the Studio”
– DJ Koze

The release is available on all digital services from today, plus on 12” vinyl via the XL Recordings webstore with additional copies available in quality record stores soon.

‘Operator’ is taken from Låpsley’s debut album Long Way Home, released at the start of the year on XL Recordings and also featuring previous singles ‘Hurt Me’, ‘Love Is Blind’, ‘Painter’ and ‘Station’. For much of the album Låpsley worked with XL’s in-house producer Rodaidh McDonald, in addition to production contributions from Paul O’Duffy and Mura Masa.

Meanwhile, following a recent sold out London headline show at Heaven and performances at festivals across Europe, Låpsley is set to play her biggest headline show to date on October 19, at London’s 2000-capacity Shepherds Bush Empire.
