WKTU 92 NYC Mix From The Ice Palace  1979b

WKTU 92 NYC Mix From The Ice Palace  1979a

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

Linda Clifford - YOU ARE YOU ARE (Jski - Soul Boy Extended)1978

112 kbps preview. This is a cover of the Walter Murphy classic by the super talented Haitian - Canadian pianist Henri-Pierre Noël, a long lost gem from 1979 unearthed by the Wah Wah 45's label and released for the first time last year. Luckily the multitrack tapes had survived so I had the honor to go first on these. First I did a track called 'Diskette' (preview here, it will be out in a couple of months : https://soundcloud.com/thereflex/henri-pierre-no-l-diskette-o) and then this superb version of 'A Fifth Of Beethoven' where Henri-Pierre excels in re-arranging the famous strings and clavinet licks into a masterful piano performance. My version uses all of the original sounds except for the kick drum that I've replaced (+ fx swooshes here and there). Out on 10th Feb, WAV and MP3 available at Juno:  http://www.junodownload.com/search/?q[title][]=%22wah+friends+electric+2%22
