@ron-basejam
The fact that the previously vinyl-only Ron's Reworks edit series has finally landed on digital download is a very good thing indeed, especially since the man behind the project - nu-disco don Ron Basejam AKA Jim Baron of Crazy P - has been responsible for some fine re-edits over the years.  'Revelation' is a sparkling rearrangement of a life-affirming, piano-laden number that sits somewhere between jazz-funk, Latin jazz, spiritual jazz and disco.

Essential stuff!

Welcome Back, friends, to the Yacht Soul cruise that never ends!
This theme, explored at length in the previous installment of this series, is a fertile one that just keeps on giving, and give it certainly does on the tracks we have dug up for your perusal, enlightenment, edification and enjoyment on Volume 2.

For those just joining us, the concept here concerns R&B and soul artists mining the songbooks of their white contemporaries for cover versions that serve the dual purposes of potentially garnering some crossover radio airplay as well as introducing great songs to segments of the listening public who might otherwise miss them. Some of these versions might have come about because they were personal favorites of the artist in question, others might have been strongly suggested by their labels or by the publishing company, but all of them provide an entirely new perspective on what were already fantastic songs to begin with.

So there you have it--a further dig into this nebulous concept that reveals more unexpected connections and crossed paths. Understanding the hows and whys of the way these particular covers and collaborations came to be is as fascinating as just enjoying the music itself, and there really is a lot of great music to dig into this time around! We hope you enjoy listening to it as much as we did putting it together.

Last Funk (Disco Tech Rework)

DA SHIX
NYC Underground Disco/House Basics

28 TRAX of Disco Dancefloor Mayhem: The Disconnect
Cutting out the kitsch and alternating spliced trax emphasizing the funky parts, the groove, bass and drum breaks over glitzy parts (string flourishes) 
evoking sleek animatronic disco house regrooves and the NU-DISKO of the 21st century. 

Restyling old school jams for modern dancefloors is the mission - adding and overdubbing percussion breaks, rearranging sections, changing the tempo, and extending breakdowns or energetic parts.

Notice Me (Belabouche edit)

This one is a nod to the craziest sounds diggers I know, Jeff & Aurel, aka French duo Get A Room!
A while ago, they resurrected "Sexy Thing", a 1978 gem from Bob McGilpin, editing it for one of their highly recommended "Dig Out Your Own Spade" compilations. Here is my House/Nudisco take.

Shallow Taxi Club-Melody of Creed (Monkey Boots Rework)
Warm like a good hug, the Monkey Boots mix of Melody of Creed is proper smile tackle. Lush pads, smooth washes and skittering bongos are layered over an old-school bassline before a dreamy, uplifting vocal leaves you feeling, well, a little better about the world. Smooth analog synth stabs lift things further before tricky vocal FX and a dubby acid line leave you snug as a club in a dub.
This will be available on the upcoming Shallow Taxi Club ep, Mark My Words on Juno Only

Shallow Taxi Club-Melody of Creed (Monkey Boots Rework)

Available now from: http://www.zrecords.ltd.uk/new-releases

This new track from Akabu features the soaring neo soul croons of Alex Mills (who you might recognize from Miguel Campbell's ‘Something Special’).

The Joey Negro Strip Mix is unashamedly feel-good with its bouncing, skewed and spraying synths and driving bassline, with pristine production putting many imitators to shame.

The Akabu Warehouse Mix is built on chunky drums and classic claps before rave indebted synths swoop into the mix. Building the tension slowly, the whole thing comes alive with a bobbling bassline and the carefully chopped and spliced diva vocals of Miss Mills.

Yet another timeless and easy to love offering from the studio of Dave Lee.

Released: 1st April 2013
