Iz & Diz – Mouth (Classic) 12″

‘Mouth’ has long held cult status among deep house heads and vinyl diggers, the kind of record that circulates through crates and DJ bags on reputation alone. Iz & Diz’s original is a masterclass in restraint — a hypnotic, bass-heavy groove that rewards patience and repeated listens, the sort of track that reveals new layers every time it hits a proper soundsystem.

What elevated ‘Mouth’ to legendary status, though, was the remix work attached to it — particularly the version credited here as “Brad Peep’s Remix For Friends,” widely known to be the work of Pepé Bradock. Originally cut as a limited, personal edit for friends rather than public release, it became one of those coveted, whispered-about pieces of house music folklore. Bradock’s reworking is genuinely groundbreaking: warped, off-kilter, and deeply idiosyncratic, it reshaped the original into something stranger and more hypnotic, influencing a generation of deep house and outsider dance producers who followed in his footsteps.

This reissue on Classic pairs the original and remix alongside a version originally held off the first pressing.
