why did it take me 7 years to find this nugget

2023 discovered

The minute I heard the original I knew it had to be rebooted.

"Are you ready or not, it's only up the street.
Everybody's dancin', and everybody's on the beat.
I'm a-beggin' you now, it's where we both could be.
Everybody's dancin', and everybody's on the beat."

B. B. & Q. Band - On The Beat (Funkhameleon Keeps You Dancing Reboot)

DL/Stream: https://Fools.lnk.to/DoItToTheMusicFS

We’ve got a very special release this January; a brand-new rework of the 1982 classic ‘Do It To The Music’ by New York Dance group, Raw Silk being refreshed for 2024 by legendary UK DJ and producer, Michael Gray.

Perfectly in-keeping with the Fool’s Paradise brand and ethos we have built over the past 6 months, West End Records was a label close to our hearts having been one of the most influential dance labels of the past forty years and went on to define the sound of New York City during the heyday of Disco and the ever-popular, Studio 54. With the original reaching #5 in the US Billboard Dance Chart and #18 in the UK Singles Chart, such a classic West End Records record could only be revisited by one of the very best, and who better than Michael Gray to refresh this dancefloor gem! Michael’s rework pays true homage to the original adding his signature flair and groovy, funk-leaden sound.

Babert - Boogie Oogie (Original Mix)

This remix was part of the 2004 Japan only Soul Source Remixed Boogies CD (http://www.discogs.com/Various-Soul-Source-Remixed-Boogies/release/854086) It is a shorter and much stripped down version that features a lot of unheard original vocals from Sylvester's backing vocalists Martha Wash & Izora Armstead AKA Two Tons Of Fun. The longer, fuller, Maxi Disco Blend version came out initially as a Japanese Red promo 12", then on a "Faux" Fantasy Promo 12" and was finally made more widely available on my In The House Of Love compilation with Defected in 2006
