The Secret Life website has just put up my ’20 Choice Edits & Reworks For 2014′. It’s becoming something of an annual occurrence, this 3rd year that I’ve put together the list, each inclusion complete with its own SoundCloud embed so you can hear all the individual tracks.
It was a close call for the top spot, but I settled on Fingerman’s take on Steely Dan’s ‘Peg’, which has been a constant crowd favourite throughout the year, whereas I didn’t start playing the wonderful Joeblack rework of ‘Show Me Love’ by Robin S until the summer months.
Peza scored the most inclusions, 5 in all, equaling The Reflex’s haul last year, whilst Derek Kaye and Late Nite Tuff Guy totted up 3 apiece. Looking over the entire 3 year span, these are the DJs who’ve had 2 or more entries during this period:
8 – Fingerman / Late Nite Tuff Guy
7 – Peza
6 – Derek Kaye
5 – The Reflex
2 – Get Down Edits / Henry Greenwood / Luxxury / Twisted Soul Collective
As ever, I’d like to thank all editors and reworkers for helping make my job as a DJ that much easier via their continued efforts to bring great music from the past bang up to date. I salute you all – may you cut up a treat throughout 2015.

Fantastic selection although I would say Fingerman’s DoobieBros edit ‘ What a Fool Believes’ was possibly my fave re-edit of recent months as well as your own brilliant production Summer Came My Way. 🙂
Hi Jonnie: Fingerman’s Doobie edit made the 2013 list.
