[love] tattoo - the bass has got me movin’ (Dr Packer, James Alexandr & DJ Disciple Remixes)

Stephen Allkins aka [love] tattoo is a legend of the Australian dance music scene. Credited as being one of the first DJs to EVER play house in Australia, he was instrumental in shaping the country's house music scene in the 80s, 90s and 2000s. From the earliest disco nights in Sydney’s straight and gay clubs to underground warehouse parties and main room raves, Stephen’s sound has consistently pushed boundaries and inspired generations - New York had Larry Levan, Chicago had Ron Hardy, Sydney had Stephen Allkins. As [love] tattoo, Stephen stepped into the studio and brought his musical vision to life with a series of genre-defining releases. Nominated for an ARIA award for best dance release in 2001 'the bass has got me movin' is a musical groove-driven cut fusing Allkins' trademark house sensibilities with the sultry vocals of Antigone Foster. It still sounds just as fresh today when played alongside contemporary house music.

Tinted Records is excited to re-release 'the bass has got me movin' for an entire new generation to enjoy with fresh 2026 mixes from Dr Packer and James Alexandr. Previously named Australian Producer of the Year and gifted the title of #1 Nu Disco / Indie Dance Artist on Traxsource multiple times over; Dr Packer's fresh yet nostalgic sonics always run true. Constantly frequenting stages alongside industry heavyweights Dimitri from Paris, Roger Sanchez, Todd Terry, and Purple Disco Machine. His Dr Packer vs [love] tattoo mix doesn't disappoint. Sydney based UK producer James Alexandr is on point with his mix, a modern classic house nodding to the classic Frankie Knuckles/David Morales/Def Mix New York sound of the 90s. Mix package also includes the original mixes and a killer dub from DJ Disciple.
