Bless the Plays

It's sometimes hard to predict how LNTG's edits will be received by you but it's always an exciting time whenever something new arrives. When you look at the stats for his 'Bless the Rains' Epic Journey  it has become his most played work to date.
With over 43,500 plays in 25 days it has been warmly embraced and the safari continues.
Thanks also to all of you who have blogged or posted.

Lots more work from LNTG coming soon...

ITM Honour Roll

LNTG has been building a strong reputation and interest from overseas but it could be said that the Australian press has been a little slow in catching up. That's all starting to change for the better as the OZ EDM online bible 'In The Mix' has added him as part of their Honour Roll series. Some of the international names already included are Richie Hawtin, DJ Harvey and Jeff Mills as well as other Aus names like Simon Caldwell, Dave Pham and Mike Callander.
The Tuff Guy is not one to search out the spotlight so this is a good insight into the man behind the muscle.
Expect more press soon as the requests for interviews seems to be rapidly increasing and we are encouraging him to talk even more about how he was to become...Late Nite Tuff Guy.

I Wanna Be Free

I Wanna Be Free is the latest edit from LNTG and is easy like everyday should be. He takes a walk with Lionel and the Commodores on this classic from their 1977 self titled album.
LNTG has been in the studio a lot lately as anyone following might have noticed. We're very glad.
Check out the morning view or dim the lights for this one, it's up to you.

★ LNTG's New Website

Like expectant parents we have been waiting patiently, not quite 9 months, but it's finally arrived, Late Nite Tuff Guy's new website.
We would like you all to be God Parents because it's been designed with you in mind.
To celebrate the launch of www.lntg.co he has produced a new DJ mix that is available for DL on the site. Like all LNTG mixes this was recorded 'Live.' 
From time to time the site will also feature new and unavailable tracks from the Tuff Guy that you will be able to download so we hope you come back and visit.

Bless the Rains

When a song has nearly 13 million hits on Youtube you can be guaranteed it's a bit of a monster.
We're going on safari with LNTG as he takes on this Toto classic from their 1982 album 'Toto IV.'
The initial idea for the song came from David Paich and the late great drummer for the band and co-song writer Jeff Porcaro explains the inspiration behind the original"... a white boy is trying to write a song on Africa, but since he's never been there, he can only tell what he's seen on TV or remembers in the past."
This one has been on LNTG's list for a while but given that Aiidemi Popusi from Croatia suggested it as part of our Late Nite Tuff Guy 'Requests' series it's only fair that we give him props for his choice, thanks Aiidemi.

Pray Like Aretha

In 1985 British band Scritti Politti released their most successful album 'Cupid and Psyche.' It had several hit singles and broke them into the US market.
LNTG had taken on arguably their biggest tune with his latest edit 'Pray Like Aretha Franklin.'
For those who remember the already slick and sophisticated pop lush-ness of the original it's great to hear it back again with the Tuff Guy treatment.
Time to brush up on some of those 80's dance moves.
