I know there are quite a few edits of ‘Do It To The Music’ knocking about, a couple of which I’ve played out myself (Frico & Kid Color), but here’s the one I put together back in 2006 that’s popped up in a couple of my mixes, just a ruff from the vinyl incorporating both the main vocal mix and the dub, with no added elements. I only ever intended it to be for my own personal use, rather than something I considered pressing up (otherwise I’d have tried to get hold of a slightly cleaner copy to work from). The reason I’d discounted it for inclusion on a limited run 12” was because I’d thought about the track as a potential candidate for the first Credit To The Edit album the previous year, but I’d already used the acappella from the beginning of the dub over DMX Krew’s ‘Who Got The Funk’, the combination becoming Raw DMX ‘Do It To The Funk’ – the first track I played on my DJ comeback at Music Is Better (see: http://www.gregwilson.co.uk/2011/09/music-is-better-re-edited-highlights), and subsequently a key C2theE track. I figured an additional Raw Silk edit would be overkill, so the idea was shelved. But now we’re at a different point in time and I’m sharing edits here on SoundCloud, so here it is.

Mixed by Nick Martinelli & David Todd and released in the US on Mel Cheren’s West End label, ‘Do It To The Music’ was picked up on import by specialist DJ's in the UK, but following its release here on KR it’d crossover to the more mainstream clubs, and eventually enter the Top 20 of the charts here. West End was the source for so many classic underground cuts during my time at Legend and Wigan Pier (Peech Boys, Brenda Taylor, Stone, Shirley Lites, Barbara Mason, Forrrce, DJ Divine etc), and it was right up there with the likes of Prelude and Tommy Boy and as one of the most essential labels of the era as far as the black scene here in the UK was concerned.

So, without further adieu; no time for criticising, music's hypnotising, everybody's temperature's rising, so get down.

Is It In? (a Discobody killer bass)

“It’s not the lights or the music
It’s something that you’re doing to me, girl
It’s not the dance that we’re dancing
That’s making my heartbeat explode
Because you’re turning me on
And there’s no turning off my desire
Before I go any further 
There’s something that I’ve got to know

Is it in?
Is it love inside your heart, girl?
Is it in?
Do you feel it like I do?
Is it in?
Baby has the fire started?
Is it in?
Let me bring it out of you”

Jimmy “Bo” Horne released the disco monster "Is It In?" in 1980 on T.K. Records. It made a huge impact in every dancefloor but sadly the anti-disco movement didn’t let the track rise on the charts and get the recognition it deserved. Nevertheless Larry Levan played it to death on Paradise Garage and so did all the respected DJs.
Later it was sampled by Jungle Brothers for their 1989 tune "Beyond this World" and in 2006 it was featured on Rockstar Games' Grand Theft Auto: Vice City Stories.

On this mix I infuse lots of sounds, beats, bass and voices to make it even more fun (if that's possible!) and I give u  a raw funky intro, a satisfying long twisted break and a manic outro. As Horne says it’s exciting to dance 'n' party but as the night’s getting late it’s also crucial to know that:
“When the last dance is over
You’ll be coming home with me!”
