* The original sister label to Ram Records from the old Ram HQ studio in Essex, Liftin Spirit Records now celebrates it’s 25th year with a special ‘RELOADED’ limited vinyl series of remastered classics, alongside rare and previously unreleased tracks since the beginning in1992.

* DATs from artists such as Andy C, Ant Miles, Shimon, Joint Venture, Interrogator and Red One have been located in the archives. Also from the Ram & Liftin HQ came tracks for the Deep Seven label in 1993 and all these rare DAT masters have been located and now re-cut by Simon, the original Ram & Liftin vinyl masterer at ‘The Exchange’. Initially, Deep Seven remasters will present on a printed white label and unreleased tracks will have a black label.

* Expansion (Remix 1 & 2): Andy C and Ant Miles's penultimate releases prior the the inception of Ram Records were released on local label ‘Out Of Romford’. Under their usual guise as 'Desired State', ‘Expansion' was originally the B side to their Hardcore smasher ‘Dance The Dream’. Not long after, two further remixes (Remix 1 & 2) were created for the flip side to the ‘Dance The Dream’ Remix that followed. Both feature here in all their original Hardcore glory. Remastered from the original DAT for 2021, they continue as part of the Liftin Spirit Reloaded series on limited heavy weight vinyl.
Turn On: This track was Andy C and Ant Miles’s first ever collaboration together as Desired State, from what eventually became the Ram HQ studio in Hornchurch, Essex. Originally signed to Karma Records in 1991, it was oddly licensed to a label in the States and returned to the UK as an import! The track did so well, even as a higher priced import, it gave the pair the encouragement to continue on their path in the studio together and the rest is history as they say. Remastered from the original DAT once again, this one holds a special place in their heart.

Move Your Body: This particular track was never released to the masses, originally made way back in 1991, it was recently located on a DAT tape and has been brought into the the Liftin Spirit Reloaded series as a special unreleased bonus track.
