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

Ago - You Make Me Do It (FunkyDeps Re-Edit)

Who says summer's coming to an end? Certainly not us!

Ben Gomori's rejiggering of Earth, Wind & Fire's "Fantasy" is an uptempo, high-octane reimagining of the 1977 classic that'll instantly transport you to a cabana bar, sunset pool party, or glamorous rooftop soiree. 'Nuff said.

As always, download the 320 here and email nik@lphnyc.com to get your grubby paws on the WAV!

It's not often that you get a hold of a multitrack of a classic dance song. No less doing a remix of it.
I was blessed to get that rare opportunity.
A few years ago, West End Records did a remix contest for Sparque's classic & influential Let's Go Dancin'.
I was so excited, not only to enter but to get to remix a song that was such a big inspiration in my musical life.
I remember my turntable homies, Terry Hunter and Dimitri From Paris, were pressing me hard to finish the mix before the deadline.
I was so nervous working on it because I wanted it perfect and respectful to the original song.
Plus it was a tribute to my remixing heroes, Larry Levan & Francois Kerkorian, who originally remixed this song.
I didn't win the contest(that honor went to the late, great Ethan White of Tortured Soul who did a fantastic remix).
But, I thought that I would still share it with the world and hope it would be enjoyed.
So, straight from the Underdog archives, here's my remix!
And I dedicate it to the memory of Ethan, who's talent and brief friendship I will always cherish!
Please enjoy!

David Joseph’s ‘You Can’t Hide (Your Love From Me)' is a track I’ll forever have a strong personal association with, given that it was with 2 copies of this 12" that I made my claim to fame as the 1st UK DJ to mix live on TV – on February 25th 1983 at Newcastle’s Tyne Tees TV studio, on the classic British music show, ‘The Tube’. Full story and YouTube clip here at Electrofunkroots:

Last April I was sent a link to an edit by Italian DJ Moplen™ and was, as you can imagine, intrigued when I saw what it was - David Joseph – ‘You Can't Hide (Your DUB From Me)’. Utilizing the Larry Levan mix (I’d used original UK twelves on The Tube, the Levan mix wouldn’t come until later, when the track went big in the NYC clubs), Moplen had done a fine job, but unfortunately I couldn’t play it. 

I replied to his mail, explaining that because of my connection to the track I would need the vocal in there at some point, otherwise the dancefloor might feel short changed. The whole dub vibe teases things up a treat, but the money shot of the song is a must for my own purposes. Moplen was getting a great reaction to the edit as it was, and rightly so – check it out here:
http://soundcloud.com/moplen/david-joseph-you-cant-hide-moplen-edit  

So, for my own personal use, I edited Moplen’s edit to incorporate the full vocal, and the resulting version became one of my big festival tracks of 2011, and something that’s appeared in a number of my live mixes.

This track has come a long way with me since I was first sent a UK promo by Island Records 29 years ago.

RWL Sleeve Notes:

Patrice Rushen – Never Gonna Give You Up (Joey Negro Re-Grooved Mix)
I procured the multi for this killer dance cut from Patrice’s “Posh” album over 5 years ago and completed the remix a while back but we couldn’t clear it for RWL 2 due to the rights to her music being in limbo while it was sold by Warner Brothers to German indie !K7. This is one of the more radical remixes on the album. In all other cases I base the new version around the original music, sometimes adding extra riffs or replaying bass or guitar. I tried that approach on “Never…” but it just wasn’t happening. I went back to it a few times but I didn’t seem to be able to come up with anything particularly interesting so I decided to go a different direction and attempt to change the music next time I had Kaidi Tatham in the studio playing keys. He did a great job with a groove that is a little like her classic “Number One” and though the chords are different we managed to make most of the original strings and brass work with them.
