COWIE RELAUNCHES HOOK BELLBOY
Mon, July 21, 2008 
Being responsible for most of the musical output of both labels as DJ/producer himself, Cowie feels it's a good time to re-release his music in a digital format. "I am certain many of those releases would inspire just as much on today's dance floor as when they were first released," he told us. "We will also be releasing new material and we already have a number of fantastic releases lined up. I'm really looking forward to that side of the re-launch." After both labels being defunct for some years, finally the complete Hook Bellboy catalogue will become available digitally. The first 22 tracks will be available for download from Beatport soon. Read Chris Cowie's full announcement exclusively at the link below. To get you in the mood we feature two of Chris' tracks here in our player. 'Infectious' is a killer Hook release and 'Day by Day' a famous Bellboy track. We love those beats. Enjoy! Hook Bellboy Relaunch
