The second single to be pulled upcoming BBE album ‘Strata Records – The Sound of Detroit – Reimagined By Jazzanova’, ‘Saturday Night Special’ features remixes by Kai Alcé and DJ Amir & Re.decay, as well as The Lyman Woodard Organization’s 1975 original.

Possibly the best-known piece of music from the Strata label’s diverse and innovative catalogue, the unique, low-fi, moody, understated aesthetic of ‘Saturday Night Special’ has captured the hearts of music fans and DJs worldwide. “When I first heard the Lyman Woodard Organization ’Saturday Night Special’,” says DJ Amir, “I thought it was a song from a Blaxploitation soundtrack. Once I realized that Lyman was from Detroit, I immediately thought that if there was ever a ’theme song’ for Detroit that ’Saturday Night Special’ would be it. There is such a cinematic vibe to the song full of grit, rawness, and determination that just soaks into your veins. This album/song will always be in my bag of records to survive the apocalypse with!’”

When DJ Amir and Jazzanova began work on the ‘Reimagined’ project, breathing new life into the Strata Records archive, this jazz-funk classic was right at the top of the list of ‘musts’ for the band to re-interpret. “I had no idea what direction they were going to go, musically” says Amir. “The original song had been sampled more than a few times, but in my opinion, it was never done tastefully. However, from the first practice session, I knew that they were spot on with the right direction! Their version is the perfect blend of Detroit and Berlin!”

Kai Alcé’s ‘NDATL’ remix of ‘Saturday Night Special’ (named, like his label, after his three hometowns of New York, Detroit, ATLanta) brings a sure-footed lightness to Jazzanova’s version of the song, making the absolute most of the track’s stellar horn solos. “After hearing the unreleased Kamasi Washington/Gregory Porter remixes he did, I knew I had to reach out Kai” says Amir. “With this remix, he stretches out
the track into a seven minute groove, in the direction of a soulful house/future jazz interpretation.”

Alongside his Berlin production partners Re.decay, DJ Amir turns in a low-slung rework of ‘Saturday Night Special’, using as many parts from the Jazzanova version as possible. “We tried to emulate the intro to one of my favourite jazz dance tracks, ‘Expansions’ by Lonnie
Liston Smith” says Amir. Mission accomplished.

This release has been a long time in the coming thanks to a tenacious bit of digging and sleuthing from @tooslowtodisco's DJ Supermarkt. Coming across a rare private press 7" a few years back which "hits that sweet spot between 80s funk-pop and the disco era’s love of anything galaxy-tinged" he set about tracking down the artists behind the release 'Prime Time Band' so as to bring this delightful track to a wider audience.

Managing to get in touch bandleader Jeff Wollman after years of hunting, they agreed to release the track as part of TSTD 4. Thankfully for all of us they have now taken it one step further and arranged for some of their favourite smooth space approved producers of today to give us their take on the track. The result is a classy mini album of remixes which is now landing on both digital and vinyl featuring mixes from Turbotito, Blank & Jones, Chuggin Edits, Those Guys From Athens, Vibes4YourSoul & HOLDTight

Today you can check the premiers of both the @Turbotito & Those Guys From Athens remixes here on LV online. Then jump over to LV for more on this classy release via: https://levisiteuronline.com/music/prime-time-band-too-slow-to-disco/

So excited about this new project!
DJ Supermarkt came across the rare private press Prime Time Band 7 Inch a long time ago, and since tried to locate the band to include the track on his Too Slow To Disco compilation series. After years he found bandleader Jeff Wollman, who gave TSTD permission to finally rerelease this funky space beauty for the first time on the compilation TSTD 4.
The story could have ended here, but Jeff and DJ Supermarkt went one step further, and came up with the plan to give the track to a few selected producers for new versions/reworks. We contacted our favorite smooth space approved producers of today, and they all said “Yes” and we are super proud to now give you:

This our first approved remix/edit package. Really proud we did this with Jeff Wollman of the band. More to follow... stay tuned.
