Funk

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

JUNO REVIEW:-

Slightly Transformed bring us the latest instalment in their occasional compilation series, which follows on from 'Summer Numbers 2019' and 'Summer Numbers 2020'. Regular visitors to this page should need no introduction to the respected London-based label, and with the album packing a whopping 26 tracks, there's certainly no space to give you a full blow-by-blow rundown: suffice to say that whether you're a fan of sparkling boogie nouveau, sumptuous string-drenched disco, deep 'n' groovy house, headnoddin' Balearica or any combination thereof, this is a comp you're gonna want to check for. Standouts for yours truly include Kiosko 33's Chuck Roberts-biting 'Theory Of House' and Kristoff MX's 'Funk With Me', but you'll find your own I'm sure...

Clean Is Good - Jarbie's Samples [Slightly Transformed]

Rewind to 1990, Double Dee struck gold with their huge international smash ‘Found Love’ which became one of those all-time classics hammered by the likes of Sasha, Frankie Knuckles and Pete Tong.

Fast forward to 2022 and they're back, making their Midnight Riot debut. Linking up with fellow Italian production team The Dukes, they deliver another masterpiece, ‘Always Better’. Blending Mediterranean heat and early morning sleaziness, the energy here is irresistible, the message undeniably uplifting.

On the remix tip, studio don Da Lukas out of Palermo, Italy, nicely notches up the tempo with added tasty beats, stretching out the mix to just over 6mins, it's perfect nu-disco packed with dance floor class!

Found this on a @daveleezr Brit Funk album, and thought it could do with a little dance floor beef-up.  Tweaked the arrangement, added new drums and FX. Hope you like.

Patrice Rushen - Look Up (Kocho Edit)

DiCE_NZ is based from Aukland New Zealand and has been making some waves on the scene with some superb edit efforts on labels such as Too Slow To Disco and Slightly Transformed. This first outing on Fingerman’s Hot Digits Music imprint sees the producer flexing his production muscles with 3 varied nu-disco tracks jam packed full of funk and a whole lot of soul. Opener “Believe Me” harks back to some sultry Groove Armada poolside vibes featuring some wonderful vocal action from Brittany Kate before we move into some bubbling acid flecks on the funk filled mid tempo stomper “Don’t Ya Know”. The third track from DiCE_NZ brings things down for some gorgeous slo-mo funk of title cut “The Situation” which wouldn’t be out of place in a 90’s soulful hip-hop set due to its laidback vibe and breezy vocal touches. Remix action comes from Hot Gorilla Records Andy Buchan who ramps up the Sax with his great version of “Believe Me”, dubbing out the vocals and giving it some great floor appeal. Finally Fingerman grabs “Don’t Ya Know” by the horns and fills it with sharp percussion and punchy beats with his rework. 

Play Loud!
