Try My Love (On For Size) Feat. Teni Tinks

Try My Love (On For Size) Feat. Teni Tinks (Club Mix)

Forgiven, Forgiven, Forgiven, forgiven

Wholly forgiven, my rotten heart saved,
God’s only Son, with power forgave,

When I arrive at a place of wrong,
I need forgiveness, by you, and long,
for the score to be settled and very soon,
By your assured, unchanging tune,
You are faithful to forgive my sin,
Seventy seven times, again and again.
As far as the east is from the west,
My crimson stain is, your God sent rest.

Forgiven, washed clean, restored on this rock,
The Lord is my Shepherd, I part of his flock.
He seeks me, He found me, He save me, forgave me.
He stands at my door, and lovingly knocks.

I need to forgive others, offending me,
If I don’t you won’t forgive, see,
A condition that helps to tame our hearts,
And realise  where reconciliation starts,
We often can love but are seldomly given,
to humble ourselves and make those forgiven.
Forgiveness is lacking in everyday life,
It’s so fundamental to challenging strife.

Joy expressed from what my Saviour’s done,
Forgiven from everything by God’s only son.

The greatest exchange there ever was,
The example of Jesus upon his cross,
The sin of mankind, and made it his own,
What greater love than that was to been shown,
A pure spotless lamb, God’s only Son,
Forgave every sinner for what they have done,
If we admit our bankrupt state,
He will forgive us, make a clean slate.

Forgiven, washed clean, restored on this rock,
The Lord is my Shepherd, I part of his flock.
He seeks me, He found me, He save me, forgave me.
He stands at my door, and lovingly knocks.

You forgave me, you came down to rescue me,
Praise be to you and glory unto thee.

'Produced With Love' album out 23 June

@joeynegro continues to cement his place in the annals of disco‘s rich history with the release of a new version of his hit record ‘Must Be The Music’: a track that has been given a complete overhaul from its original incarnation.

Originally released in 1999 and featuring Taka Boom (sister of Chaka Khan) on vocals, ‘Must Be The Music’ was a hit in every sense of the word. Released by the Subliminal label, it was a one of the rare records to make the transition from club mainstay to genuine pop hit, eventually breaking into the top 10 of the UK singles chart.

Now completely reworked by Joey Negro himself, the record has been totally transformed and given a new lease of life as a shimmering disco anthem in the vein of disco demigods Chic and Change. 

“The only thing that remains from the original record is the chorus backing vocals. All the drums, music and verse vocals from Dianne Charlamagne are new. The original sounds a little dated to me now: it’s too fast and has that filtered sound that worked in the 90s and still seems to find favour in some quarters, but for me is tired.

“Because it was a hit I often get asked to play it when I DJ, so I thought it would be cool to do a radically different remake my own song, produce a new version I could play in my sets alongside original disco and the new music I’m making now.” Joey Negro

This new version of ‘Must Be The Music’ is taken from the forthcoming Joey Negro album Produced With Love. Described by DJ Mag as “his latest masterpiece…this is feel-good, love-inspired classic disco for the 21st Century” and as “sunshine in aural form” by Mixmag, this is only the second ever Joey Negro album to be released – and the first for more than 20 years. The overwhelming majority of music included was newly recorded: a real rarity when it comes to modern disco and indicative of the level of care and attention that has been poured into the project.

‘Must Be The Music (The Original Disco Version)’ is out NOW on Z Records. The Joey Negro album Produced With Love lands in June.

Love Hangover (Micky More & Andy Tee Classic Disco Blend)

Rarely does an artist pay homage to the classics like Dimitri From Paris. The Grammy nominated producer, remixer, composer and DJ has made every one of his repertoire of reworks sound effortless; no mean feat when the original tracks are by the likes of Disco’s greatest musicians. He has a long history of remixing classic records, starting in the late 80s and culminating in this achievement of a lifetime, ‘Dimitri From Paris presents Le CHIC Remix’.


This 20-track album features three brand new remixes alongside the much-loved essentials all brilliantly remastered for 2018, tracks that have resonated with artists from Frankie Knuckles to Disclosure, Gilles Peterson to Mark Ronson. Alongside the remixes are instrumentals of each (four of which are previously unreleased), for the ultimate bumper pack. For this project Dimitri was entrusted to use the original studio masters from circa 1978 - 1980 that feature all of the individually recorded musical and vocal elements. The songs have been respectfully remastered, unveiling never-before-heard performances, turning the spotlight on the beautiful orchestrations of one the most unique and highly-revered production duos of the Disco era and beyond; Nile Rodgers & Bernard Edwards, along with their CHIC Organization of musicians. 
Kicking off with the unmistakeable CHIC staple ‘Le Freak’, Dimitri’s timeless remix making the exquisite instrumental harmonies shine like only Dimitri can, the album delves next into ‘Lost In Music’ and CHIC’s classic ‘I Want Your Love’. Norma Jean Wright’s life-affirming ‘Saturday’, written by CHIC along with Robert L Cotter in 1978, has been remixed by Dimitri to cinematic proportions, the climax of many of his DJ sets. Sister Sledge’s ‘He’s The Greatest Dancer’ is given the Dimitri treatment with a new extended mix, drawing out the string motifs, showcasing unheard sections from the original master tapes, sounding better than ever. Further exclusives include ‘My Forbidden Lover’ and another Sister Sledge masterpiece, ‘Got To Love Somebody’ with cowbell and horns resplendent. More highlights include a new remaster of Sister Sledge’s evergreen ‘Thinking Of You’ and the final track, an underdog from French chanson singer turned one-time Disco act, Sheila & B. Devotion ‘Your Love Is Good’, a euphoric high to close on and another track using elements from never-heard-before recorded outtakes.

Through Disco grooves and meticulously reverent production, ‘Dimitri From Paris presents Le CHIC Remix’ gets to the heart of why CHIC’s music remains so universally relevant, underlining the enduring cultural significance of dance music in its most unabashed form. This album is a demonstration of how captivating the sound of a full orchestra of musicians can be, compared to today’s largely computer generated offerings, celebrating the eternally endearing qualities of some of CHIC’s best-selling productions, not to mention, for over 40 years, the unquestionable power of a great Disco record.
