Bite The Dust [LNTG Edit]

I got the opportunity to officially remix this classic song to coincide with the release of a new Donny Hathaway box set. I was given the original multitrack master of the studio version (different from the live version)and it consisted of 8 different instrument and vocal tracks (as opposed to the more usual 24 tracks) 
When I take on a remix, my first goal is to make it work on a current dance floor. I like to stay very close to the originally recorded sound and In most case there's plenty to be reworked on the multitrack master to achieve this. 
This case proved a little different as there were few rhythm elements I could use to fit within current standards of club loudness levels. So I decided to take a slightly different approach, and add a new set of (acoustic) drums,  to bend the original Soul vibe a little towards Disco territory. 
This remix is exclusive to my soundcloud page and free to download as a 16bit WAV file

Born on Nov 5 1946, Loleatta left us March 21 2011.
She was the quintessential Disco Diva. She had Izora Armstead and Martha Wash (AKA Two Tons Of Fun, Sylvester's backing vocalists) left and right of a podium of which she  held the number one spot.
We will forever feel "Stronger Together" with her "Love Sensation"
"...and time won't take our love awaaaaaaaaaaaay"  

Rest In Peace on the Other Side.

Dan Heartman Ft Lolleata Holloway - Relight My Fire DFP remix snippet

Raw Silk 'Do It To The Music' (greg wilson edit)

114bpm

Never previously shared

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.

Razor-N-Tape Reworks - Once Is Not Enough (Deep&Disco Edit)

The Main Ingredient ‘Happiness Is Just Around The Bend’ (greg wilson edit)

120 bpm

Previously limited vinyl only 2010.

Originally released way back in 1974, The Main Ingredient’s ‘Happiness Is Just Around The Bend’ is one of those tracks which commands cult status with black music aficionados. It doesn’t sound quite line anything else, Cuba Gooding’s unusual, somewhat esoteric lead vocal setting it apart.

It’s such a positive message, especially at times like this, with the recession beginning bite ever harder. It’s an up track, but not in an obvious way.

This edit first appeared on the Ruff Edits #5 12” under the title ‘Get Up, Get It On’ in 2010. The original version has a really atmospheric intro, running for half a minute before the groove kicks in, and, although I love this purely from a listening perspective, it’s not what, by today’s measure, you’d call DJ friendly, so, the first consideration for the edit was to create a longer intro groove for mixing purposes, before extending the overall track by 3 minutes, squeezing out further goodness.

The Main Ingredient 'Happiness Is Just Around The Bend' (greg wilson edit)

GREG WILSON PRESENTS SCHOOLED IN THE CLASSICS
PRESS RELEASE

2013 sees Greg Wilson taking his first steps back into record production, starting off with Schooled In The Classics, a series of groove based dance tunes put together to play out at his gigs, the initial tracks being first road tested in Chicago and New York last year to a great response. Greg now plans to issue 8 Schooled In The Classics tracks this year, both digitally and via 4 limited edition 180g vinyl releases. The first 2 tracks in the series, ’12-Turn-13’ and ‘Blue Angel’, will be issued on Feb 26th.

Drawing inspiration from his past to record new material, Greg’s intention is not to attempt to re-create what went before, but to try to channel the more freeflowing spirit of those times. The project name, Schooled In The Classics, is a tip of the hat to the New York luminaries of the early 80’s like Tee Scott, Shep Pettibone, Larry Levan, François Kevorkian and John ‘Jellybean’ Benitez, whose experimental, dub influenced approach to dance music gifted us with so many superbly innovative club mixes, inspiring everything that followed, as dance culture emerged from the underground to explode into the mainstream glare during the late 80’s Acid House / Rave era.

During Greg's two decade DJ hiatus, his primary occupation was that of producer, and it’s an area of work to which he has always intended to return. 2013 is a fitting year for this, being that it's 30 years on from Greg's original venture into production, in 1983, when he went into the studio for the first time, recording some of the demos for what would evolve into the Street Sounds ‘UK Electro’ album, on which he co-wrote / produced all but one of the tracks. It would reach #60 on the UK chart in 1984, and acquire cult status as a forbearer of what would happen a few years later in the decade, when British dance music really came into its own via a new wave of home-grown artists including Coldcut, M/A/R/R/S, Bomb The Bass and S Express, A Guy Called Gerald and 808 State.

Kid Creole & The Coconuts - My Male Curiosity [The Reflex Revision]

Vince Montana Jr left us on April 13, he was 85 years. 

He spent most of them writing, playing and arranging beautiful music. You can hear playing vibraphone (or vibes for short) on pretty much EVERY recording that came out of Philadelphia's Sigma Sound Studio from the late 60s to the mid 80's.

He was playing the vibes with MFSB, composers Gamble & Huff's studio supergroup, the core of what is known as the Philly Sound. He conducted the same musicians as his own Salsoul Orchestra giving them many classic Disco songs, amongst them the infamous Runaway with Loleatta Holloway on vocals on which you can clearly hear Vince's trademark vibes licks. 

In the 90's newer school House producers got him back in the studio and he arranged strings for Mousse T, DJ Meme and most notably for MAW collaborating on the Braxton's cover of the Boss and remaking his own classic Runaway.  

When I first heard "The Way U Love Me" I immediately asked to remix it and a budget to be able to get Vince to score the strings and vibes in Philadelphia. I was certain the song could be turned into a Philly Sound classic. Despite suffering with major illness at the time Vince enthusiastically accepted and made my dream come true.

The T.S.O.P. version of "The Way U Love Me" is the remix I'm the most proud of. It features a cast of more than 30 people, each one of them putting a part of their soul in the recording.
The mix you can hear on this page is an unreleased instrumental edit where the forefront is taken by the string orchestra and vibraphone solos.

As India was saying in the NuYorican Soul remake of Runaway:
"Vince, play them vibes for us just one more time"
