David Mancuso at The Loft

This was first recorded in 1969 and released in 1970 on the album titled, 'Thousand Finger Man' (released on Sold State Records; later reissued on Blue Note in 1999). The next time this song showed up was on the 1979 Candido album, 'Dancin' & Prancin''. 

This particular version appeared on the 2005 Candido double-CD compilation called 'The Anthology'. It's longer than the two previously mentioned cuts at twelve and a half minutes long - more time to lose yourself in the sweet music!

George Duke - Brazilian Love Affair (Zimmer Edit)

I had to stumble upon cover versions by Brooklyn Express and D'Angelo before realising that Eddie Kendricks was the first one to perfom this funk classic. 

In the original version the actual song kicks in straight away, which is not always fun if you're spinnning for the dancefloor.  So my edit comes with a 5 minute build-up. And in the beginning I used a guitar sample from the Brooklyn Express version. Enjoy!

Eddie Kendricks - Girl You Need A Change Of Mind (Laura Stavinoha edit)

This collection of underground dance music covers tracks released between 1975 and 1983 from both sides of the Atlantic. The tracks chosen for this compilation introduce some of the pioneering few who expanded the horizons of disco to incorporate elements of dub, funk, electro, jazz and Latin. In some ways many of the artists featured here foresaw the birth of successive musical genres. There is no disputing that they were all well ahead of their time and with the recent trend of similarly inspired house they sound as fresh today as they did then.

The music chosen for this album were the underground classics that made the scene what it was in the heady of days of the Paradise Garage and the Loft in NYC and the Warehouse in Chicago where DJs such as Arthur Baker and Francois Kervorkian could be heard spinning such tracks.

On disc two (CD version only) Masters at Work add their touches to one of their favourite tracks while Harvey and Underdog take on the Disco Dub band and come up with two very different interpretations which will work on today’s dancefloors.
