Since slipping out on Leng last year, Paul ‘Mudd’ Murphy’s first collaboration with singer/songwriter David Harks, ‘Susta’, has become a much-played modern Balearic classic, with DJs and listeners alike responding to the track’s attractive blend of sun-kissed nu-disco instrumentation, warming melodies and deliciously evocative lead vocals from Jaanika Leino AKA JaneLy.

Now the track returns for 2021 in the shape of two superb new remixes from Chicagoan deep house legend Ron Trent, who four years ago delivered similarly ear-catching revisions of Mudd and Pollard’s ‘Far Away’ as part of the 10th anniversary celebrations for Murphy’s Claremont 56 label.

As you’d expect given Trent’s impeccable track record over the last three decades, both revisions are stunning. He begins by eking every last ounce of soul from Leino’s brilliant vocal on a remix that’s warming, deep and luscious. Combining elements of Murphy and Harks’ colourful, synth-heavy original mix – including the lusciously tactile bassline and boogie-style synth flourishes – with his own yearning chords, hand percussion sounds and a shuffling, samba-tinged house beat, Trent re-imagines ‘Susta’ as a future vocal deep house classic. Melodious, musically intricate, infectious and summery, it’s a remix for the ages.

It comes accompanied by a Dub Mix that successfully shows off the intricacy of Trent’s production and additional instrumentation while keeping both eyes firmly on the dancefloor. Beginning with effects-laden synth sounds reminiscent of the mid-‘80s proto-house classics by Paul Simpson, Winston Jones and Boyd Jarvis, the mix sees Trent skilfully add selected snippets of Leino’s lead vocal to a backing track rich in delay-laden synthesizer sounds, reverb-rich chords, echoing percussion hits and chords so warming they feel like a late-night, loved-up bear hug for your ears. Like the A-side vocal version, Trent’s dub is breath-taking and spine-tingling in equal measure.

Billy Y Belly - Pero Ven, Regresa (Delfonic Rework)

Bill Brewster & Alex Tepper follow up their previous outing on Sprechen (aka the Frottage Pie E.P.) with another helping from their archive of making music as Hotel Motel, this time it's a single affair of hefty vibes on 'Without Your Love' with acclaimed multi genre vocalist, Pat Fulgoni!

Continuing what was started on their previous E.P., Without Your Love continues in the same vein as being instantaneously catch as heck, jacking disco house music. Suitable for dark edged discotheques with sweaty ceilings & smoky dance floors as much as Croatian boat parties in the blazing sun. A hooky & stomping bassline with spaced out synth stabs & squiggles draw you right in before Pat's soothing yet slightly spooky vocal completes the package.

3 remixes sit alongside the OG with each one pretty much carving out its own existence and sounding like totally different tracks! The Tad Wily mix is one for the mutant disco heads who love those tracks which signal the transition part of the night, whilst the Tad Wily Stripped Acid version does exactly that and packs in some 303 squelch which sits atop a broken beat and full on Grandmaster Flash style stabs. The Dark Revisited mix finishes things off but leaves you wanting more with its increase of the epic-ness yet still retaining bags of punch & power for the 'mid part of the night' raves.

Insanely hard to pick a fave on this package and we'd bet our bottom dollar you could prob play all 4 in a set and not have anyone look at you in any other way then 'yessmate'.

Leo Mas: "Great release!"

Sean Johnston: "What a beauty!"

David Dunne: "Very nice indeed!"

Moodymanc: "Love the Tad Wily Stripped mix... Pat sounding wonderful as ever!"

Africa (Haverdi Edit)

Seduction in 'Smooth Operator': Unraveling Urban Charm
The song 'Smooth Operator', performed by the British band Sade, led by the singer of the same name, Sade Adu, is a classic of smooth jazz mixed with elements of soul and R&B. Released in 1984, the song became one of the group's biggest hits, characterized by its smooth melody and the striking voice of Sade Adu. The song's lyrics describe the figure of a mysterious and irresistible man, known as a 'smooth operator', who stands out for his efficiency and charm in the urban environment and in the business of love.
The refrain 'Smooth Operator' is repeated throughout the song, emphasizing the protagonist's ability to navigate the world with ease and grace, leaving a lasting impression wherever he goes. The lyrics mention cities such as Los Angeles and Chicago, and even Key Largo, suggesting that the 'smooth operator's' reach is vast and his influence is felt across the country. The phrase 'love for sale' suggests that his romances may be superficial and motivated by interests, perhaps financial or status.
The song also touches on themes of desire and power, with lines such as 'A license to love, insurance to hold', which can be interpreted as a critique of the commercialization of love and human relationships. The description 'His eyes are like angels, his heart is cold' reveals the duality of the central character: although he has a charming exterior, there is an underlying emotional coldness. 'Smooth Operator' is a song that, in addition to having a catchy rhythm, invites the listener to reflect on the complexities of human relationships in modern society.
So.....
Enjoy this Remix..
