Disco 2001

People often ask me what my favourite dance tracks of all time are, and it's always a difficult question to answer, because most of the time it depends on how I am feeling on that particular day. 
More often than not, 'I Want Your Love' by CHIC is one that comes to mind. It was one of the very first 12" singles I bought (I was 14 years old). 
Now...I know this track has been remixed, remodelled, remade, and re-edited a hundred times. There are versions that I absolutely love, especially the Dimitri From Paris version from a couple of years ago, and of course the Moodymann version from the mid 90's. 
I initially wanted to just do Part 1, but every time I got to a certain point I just wanted to hear THAT whole riff! So, I ended up doing this. 
Hope you enjoy it, 
LNTG.

'Think Of U' will be part of my latest vinyl Tuff Cut #04 release scheduled for November 2013.

Startin' Somethin' [LNTG Disco Remix]

Imagination & Missy Elliot ‘Gotta Keep Workin’ it’ (greg wilson mash-up)

100 bpm

Previously limited vinyl only 2006 & 2008.

In March 2004 I appeared at the Time Machine night in Nottingham, which was held at The Social. I was still very much finding my feet, having only started up again a few months beforehand, and this was one of my first handful of bookings following my comeback. It was a night run by Soul Mekanik (Kelvin Andrews and Danny Spencer), who, together with Daniel Donnachie, were the resident DJ’s.

 Daniel put me up that night, and we sat up into the early hours listening to records, a few of which he was kind enough to record to CD for me. One of these was the instrumental of a PM Dawn track called ‘Gotta Be…Movin’ On Up’, which was built around the unmistakeable killer groove of ‘Just An Illusion’ by Imagination.

 I can’t recall if it was a few weeks, or a few months later, but I remember driving to collect my son from Primary School listening to the CD that Daniel had done for me – I can see exactly where I was, approaching the traffic lights, about to turn right onto Queens Drive in Liverpool, where the school was, when in my minds ear I could hear Missy Elliot’s ‘Work It’ rap fitting hand in glove on top of that groove.

 When I got back home I tried it out and, just as I’d envisaged, it was a perfect marriage, so I began to glue it all together. I utilized Jay-Z Feat Mary J. Blige ‘Can’t Knock The Hustle’ during the intro and the break, whilst slipping in Missy Elliot’s rap section from Tweet’s ‘Oops (Oh My)’ between the parts I’d used from ‘Work It’. A sprinkle of Sinnamon, and some suitably sensual sighs and moans further peppered up proceedings, whilst Marvin Gaye’s ‘Sexual Healing’ puts in a brief cameo via the line ‘oh baby now let’s get down tonight’ and a few ‘ooohs’.

 The resulting mash-up became something of a signature track for me, especially big with the girls, and was twice pressed on ‘DJ only’ 12” - in 2006, then again in 2008. I still get asked for it now, and played it most recently over in Croatia at the Garden Festival.

 I originally listed the artist name as Dawn Elliot & Co, and it was later pressed on limited vinyl as Young Dog Alien (this is how it appears in the tracklisting of my Radio 1 Essential Mix from 2009), however, here I’ve settled on its most recognisable elements, Imagination & Missy Elliot.

 I later put together a further version that features the vocal of ‘Just An Illusion’ before Missy’s rap kicks in. It was available here for a period last year – I’ll re-upload at some point.

With the third release still occupying both the charts and dance floors, as universal plaudits ripple through the great disco ensemble, HOD’s fourth release Busy Tone will no doubt be greeted with the warm embrace and support it so richly deserves.

To kick-start proceedings, OOFT! - the productive mask of Glasgow-based Ali Herron - presents ‘Mazin’. In recent years OOFT! has furnished us with a number of memorable deep, pitched-down gems, and in this slow burner he delivers yet again. Imagine waking up in the morning and realising that summer was a permanent season and you didn’t have to work ever again: this would compliment that feeling perfectly.

In ‘Seventh’, the two halves of Dikso Records certainly make this a wholesome treat, as you would always expect from the collective craft of Daniel Solar and Andi de Luxe, masterfully blending a techno backbone with a stunning disco complexion. Quite simply, two of Germany’s finest at their best.

The label welcomes back the well-groomed Debonair for his second outing, following on from the furore of ‘Why?’ and Conor Bevan, who dresses as sharply as he produces, proves that he’s here for the long-haul with ‘Your Love’. In true Debonair style, he injects a vibrant club tempo into a classic disco sound, without removing any of the original charm. You could say his feet are now firmly under the HOD table.

Australia’s dance music progeny have been setting the pace in recent times, and one of these family members is Late Nite Tuff Guy. The versatile producer consistently makes jam after jam, including his superior Tuff Edits volumes, and his signature is evident in the gorgeous ‘I’m Going Outta My Head’ – a fine display of meticulous loops and soulful vocals that would easily resuscitate a lagging party.

AND002 – limited vinyl on A&R Edits

Released: Monday 27th May, 2013

Side AA: Music Up (Reworked by Derek Kaye)

Selected by GW

Derek Kaye married his schoolboy passions of music and electronics in 1973 when he constructed his first disco sound system, aged just 13. Prior to this, with DJ equipment something of a rarity in those days, he created a custom setup that bypassed the need for a mixer by rewiring his turntables in such a way that he could flip the sound from one deck to another, and installed a switch that would dip the music so a microphone from a portable cassette player could be used to announce the song on rotation. His work soon grew in sophistication and a new console was built, with his schoolmate, Greg Wilson, buying Derek’s old rig, thus beginning his own well-documented DJ career.

Over the past 40 years, Derek has continued to DJ in and around the North West, both in residencies and guest spots, and his passion for music and electronics are still just as strong. His enviable studio has gone through the transitions of working with notator (the forerunner to logic) on the studio essential Atari 1040 ste with a collection of keyboards and Akai samplers, to just about “working out of the box” as is the case with a lot of studios now.

Today, a lifetime of experience is being teased out of the connoisseur by lifelong friend and A&R curator Greg Wilson, beginning with the double header of 'Nobody' and 'Music Up': both reworks have caused dance floor rapture for Greg over recent months and, as festival season fast approaches, they are now being shared amongst the wider DJ community for the very first time (Derek and Greg have also recently joined forces to remix Bryan Ferry’s ‘Don’t Stop The Dance’).

'Music Up' is an overhaul of the 1979 Vanguard 12” by the Players Association, Kaye's version injecting further verve into the original with a new bassline, percussion, strings and arrangement. Personally requested by NYC stalwart Danny Krivit when Greg Wilson dropped it during his recent gig at The Date in London, 'Music Up' is a surefire festival favourite, for house and disco heads alike, that’s set to fly this summer.
