Crazy Penis - Over To You

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

Crazy Penis - Betcha

Lady T(Hot Toddy Remix)-Crazy Penis

Crazy Penis - Give It Up (LAID dub)

Following on from 2008’s critically acclaimed Stop, Space, Return, Crazy P return for their fifth studio album When We On, released September 27th through Smoke N´Mirrors (North America).

Alongside the wealth of brilliant remixes they have served up recently, When We On shows how far Crazy P have come since 2008. Whether it’s the anthemic ‘Beatbox’, with its freeform acapella work, grinding Prince—style guitar and haunting strings, the reflective ‘Eruption’, driven on by a rave piano figure and lead singer Danielle Moore’s plaintive cry of “Let me be the one you run to” or, at the other end of the scale, the Detroit techno-esque ‘Sonar’, with its increasingly frenetic payoff, this is an album packed full of potential singles. They might be crazy, but they sure know where the tunes are located.

“With Stop Space Return we wrote the majority of that as a band,” explains Jim Baron. “For this, we decided to strip it back to me and Toddy (Chris Todd. Guitar/Keys) writing with Danielle. We gave Danielle the Loop Station and she’s really taken to it. You can layer vocals, you can hear harmonies immediately, so she can jam along with us now. It shaped a lot of the vocal sound for the album. There’s a tune called ‘We Can Only Be Who Are’ which has big vocal layering, and there’s a lot of that. It’s probably a bit more… grown-up.” 

Chris expands on the theme: “We had quite a big year last year for lots of different reasons and we had difficulties too and I think a lot of the writing came out of that. It’s a little bit more reflective and thoughtful than previous albums.” 

For Danielle, it’s been a revelation in the way they work. “It was back to basics,” she says. “I’d have a go on the keyboards using two fingers or I’d have a go on the drum machine. It was like being at school or in a huge sandpit where you’ve been given loads of buckets to muck about with. We had a loop station as well which I’ve always been nervous of and this time it was like right let me have a go of this and it allowed me to record my vocals.”

For Danielle, the album narrative is the camaraderie between its protagonists. “Their friendship came through in creating this album. The way we worked created a lot of intimacy between us and a definite warmth to the album.” 

Despite the suggestions of melancholy from the band, and they certainly know how to emote when the moment’s right, they haven’t forgotten how to party. “We’re open for service, we’re open for love,” sings Danielle. Crazy, but true.

The Rapture - How Deep Is Your Love (Dimitri From Paris Erodiscomix) LoRes

This remix will NOT be released as DFA are moving on to the Rapture's next single "Sail Away" 
When the stems were made available for a remix contest (http://soundcloud.com/groups/how-deep-is-your-love-remix-competition/tracks?page=1) my friend Vito from Aeroplane who was working on remixing "Sail Away", pushed me to have a go at it.

I decided it wasn't right I enter the competition but DFA nicely allowed me to freely make my remix available.
As my followers, you were the first to be able to download it :) Thank you for spreading the word !

Sister Sledge - Thinking Of You  (Dimitri From Paris Remix) (Snippet)

This is my 6th CHIC Organization remix that will be available as a bonus (digital & vinyl) to the upcoming 4 x CD boxset. The original version was part of french iconic pop singer Sheila's King Of The World album that CHIC produced in 1980. It was the follow up to the cult Spacer single. When the original analog tapes were transferred extra unused takes were found. The CHIC band were rehearsing the song and in the process recorded alternate guitar and piano parts that due to the then available technology couldn't be used in the original final mix. Current tools allowed me to sync the unused parts with the rest of the used takes. My remix is quite a "bourgie bourgie" like version in the spirit of the CHIC classic instrumental workouts like Sao Paulo or Savoir Faire.                       

Sheila & B Devotion - Your Love Is Good (Dimitri From Paris Remix) SNIPPET

Here comes another snippet from a Chic song I remixed for the CHIC Org Box Set. From the 1982 Tongue In Chic LP this song wasn't widely released as a single. I chose it because it featured all of the CHIC V. 2.0 sound that would then form the basis of the soon to come Nile and Bernard productions for artists like David Bowie or Duran Duran. The NYC Dubby feel was already there in the recording, I just emphasized it with only extra effects and no added production.
