I’m going to get some more edits/reworks uploaded in the coming months, starting off with one I did in conjunction with Henry Greenwood, a rework that was getting a major response until the pandemic went and spoilt the party. 

Recorded by Brooklyn’s Linda Clifford for Curtis Mayfield's Curtom label and mixed by Jim Burgess, ‘Runaway Love’ was somewhat overshadowed by her Disco take on ‘If My Friends Could See Me Now’, from the ‘60s Broadway musical/film, ‘Sweet Charity’. Although ‘Runaway Love’ and ‘Gypsy Lady’ were also listed when the album of the same name topped the US Disco chart, ‘If My Friends Could See Me Now’ was very much the lead track. ‘Runaway Love’ however was the choice cut in the R&B realm where, having been issued as a single, it reached #3.

As big as it was in the Stateside clubs I can’t ever remember ever hearing a DJ in this country playing ‘If My Friends Could See Me Now’ – it was all about ‘Runaway Love’ here, which, from the moment the LP came in on import in ’78 the specialist DJs seized upon. It could have been a UK hit, but was only issued on the flip side of ‘If My Friends Could See Me Now’. Besides, it was all about the full-length 12” version, the truncated 7” compromising its wonderful flow and build. The single stalled at #50 – the fact it got as high as that was all to do with the B Side.

To my ears it’s a track that should be as familiar as Rufus & Chaka Khan’s ‘Ain’t Nobody’, but ‘Runaway Love’ is a hidden classic far too rarely heard. This prompted me to team up with Henry Greenwood to put together a DJ friendly rework that retained the song in all its glory, whilst providing a mix in and out and adding contemporary weight to its already infectious groove. I couldn’t have wished for a better outcome, the audience response the proof in the pudding.

The third in a trio of late-‘70s reworks I’ve collaborated on with Henry, following on from Marshall Hain ‘Dancing In The City’ & El Coco ‘Mondo Disco’, which were pressed back to back on limited vinyl as part of the A&R Edits series.

What Is Love (Disco Tech Edit)

The eclectic nu-disco vibes of Double F.O.G. aka Chris Armstrong have been pricking up many an ear the past few years with some superb appearances on Hot Digits and Bandolier records to name but a few. This debut 3 track Ep on Hot Digits Music (an ode to his love for his missus I might add) showcases this rising talent with the Lyn Collins sampling opener “Lose My Mind” which is all mid tempo analogue funk of the highest order. “Baby Don’t Change” ramps up the wobble for another speaker busting slice of slo-mo house before we take things real deep with closing track “Wanna Be Your lover” featuring some cracking vocoder vibes reminiscent of some of Daft Punk’s ballad work. Disco Daze Stephen Richards returns to the label for his cracking remix of “Baby Don’t Change” where the Waterford producer cranks up energy with some slo-mo hip-house textures. A highly original 3 tracker for the more discerning dance floor and terrace.

Owl Records has another 12" that will get your head swivelling and booty shaking. It comes from the BBC 6 Music host, TV legend turned funk and soul tastemaker Craig Charles who has put together a couple of sizzling edits.  On the flip (and the track we have the honour of premiering) is a more slow and seductive sound in 'Rok On' with its funky bass and sleazy vocals over low-slung and slo-mo beats. Add in the playful trumpets and muted string and you have a brilliantly curious and compelling cut.
