Sophie Lloyd Reimagines Carmel "More! More! More!" EP

Sophie Lloyd has released her edit of Carmel's "More! More! More!" as the third single from her forthcoming EP London Revisited, a four-track collection of reworked London Records catalogue cuts due out September 18, 2026. The edit is out now on all streaming platforms.

What Is on the London Revisited EP

London Records gave Lloyd open access to its back catalogue and asked her to choose the tracks herself. The result is four edits that pull from corners of the label's history that leaned toward soul and R&B rather than the pop and dance output the label is better known for. The full tracklist is:, East 17 feat. Sarah Ikumu, "It's Alright" (Sophie Lloyd Edit), Carmel, "More! More! More!" (Sophie Lloyd Edit), Maria Rowe, "Sexual" (Sophie Lloyd Edit), Carlton, "Do You Dream" (Sophie Lloyd Edit)

Carmel was a British jazz-soul trio active in the 1980s. Maria Rowe and Carlton are lesser-known acts from the London Records vault. East 17 were a UK pop group who charted heavily in the early-to-mid 1990s; the version on the EP features vocalist Sarah Ikumu.

London Records A&R Nick Fagg framed the project in a statement: "London Revisited reflects the enduring strength of the label's catalogue, bringing together records that occupy distinct but equally important places in British music history. Rather than choosing some of the more 'obvious' tracks from the catalogue, Sophie has chosen some real gems from artists that didn't get as much of the spotlight as they deserved, particularly from genres that London was lesser known for like soul when most of our output was pop and dance."

The collaboration is not tied to a label anniversary or reissue campaign. According to the release, it came together out of mutual interest in the music itself.

How Sophie Lloyd Made the "More! More! More!" Edit

Lloyd describes a process built around live testing rather than studio theory. She tried two different versions of the track in club settings before landing on the final take, which the release describes as a "jacking iteration with a looped vocal." The approach was iterative: pull apart the original, identify what holds up on a modern dancefloor, rebuild around that.

"I hope it captures the energy of Carmel's version," Lloyd said in a statement.

Her comments on the broader EP reveal something useful about how she thinks about working with source material: "There's always the worry that the original artists don't want their songs touched or altered... And that the fans want their much-loved music left well alone. So, I think as a remixer you have to be very sympathetic to that and either try and enhance the original with subtlety or change up the original song entirely with a full rework on the production so that the song becomes an entirely different entity."

On getting the call from London Records, she said: "It was literally a DREAM project working with a label as iconic as London Records and being given the privilege to access their enormous back catalogue. It filled me with a huge amount of excitement but also much trepidation as I wanted to get it right."

Who Is Sophie Lloyd

Sophie Lloyd is a UK-based DJ and producer with a long-running residency at Glitterbox, the house and disco event series that runs nights in Ibiza and London. Her most recognized original production to date is "Calling Out." London Revisited fits squarely in her lane as a selector and editor who works at the intersection of classic house, disco, and soul.

The EP does not currently have announced tour dates or a live show tied to the release, but Lloyd's Glitterbox residency keeps her on a consistent live schedule. If you want to track UK or European dance events, check our [events page](/events) for updates as they come in.

What Independent Artists Can Take From This Campaign

The structure of this project is worth studying. Lloyd did not just accept the assignment and deliver files. She tested versions in real rooms with real crowds before committing to a final cut. That is a reminder that the dancefloor is still the most honest A&R tool available, and it costs nothing to use it if you are already playing shows.

The other takeaway is how Lloyd framed the creative stakes publicly. Being specific about the tension she felt between respecting the original artists and doing something new is more compelling than a generic "I loved making this" quote. If you are pitching your own remixes or edits to blogs or playlists, specificity about your process will always land harder than promotional language.
