Handbag remixers of choice for pop's gentry between about 1994 and 1996, then - ???

all i remember is 'Rockin' For Myself' which aint too bad - i only ever hear it in my end mashed up with that 'Jus 1 Kiss' bit in 2 Many DJs' 'Radio Soulwax part 3'

(I have no idea if Motiv8's own records were any good or were rubbish like Mint Royale or someone)

i can't think of anything else they did off hand, maybe a remix for Judy Cheeks?

Mint Royale...great tracks here and there, how can you not love 'Show Me'??

Be sure to watch out for "For Sure (MOTIV 8 Intrepid Vocal Club Mix)" by Scooch.

Love that Scooch remix,great song,one of Mike Stock's finest.Motiv 8 is Steve Rodway isn't it?He did load's of great remixes,Pulp's 'Disco 2000'& 'Common People',Kylie's best'On a Night Like this',Gina G,Crush's'Jellyhead',St. Etienne's 'He's on the Phone',A1's 'Same Old Brand New You'.Great contributor to the late 90's pop dance scene.

Seach: "Break The Chain" - an amazingly good single and easily the best thing they ever did. Can't think why they didn't have a bigger hit with that one. (#31 in the UK!)

Also search their mix of Mozaic's "Nothing In The World". And obviously, their Pulp remixes are amongst the finest rock/pop-->dance transitions ever.

Search: Pet Shop Boys - Red Letter Day (Motiv8 mix)

The single also featured a very downcast Trouser Enthusiasts mix and a Basement Jaxx mix - my favorite PSB remix package of any of their singles.
