Mellow Madness would have likely lingered on in obscurity had it not been for Kay-Dee partner DJ Keb Darge, who in 2004 introduced the Fayetteville, NC group’s sole 45 to a new audience. Titled “Save The Youth,” its inspirational message and pounding yet polished disco had fresh appeal on dance floors of the new millennium.

Three takes based on the masters: K-Dope Extended Mix, K-Dope Instrumental, and K-Dope Beats!

KD-1212 Save The Youth/Kenny Dope Inst-Mellow Madness

Maynard Parker’s disco masterpiece “Puddin’” gets re-mixed by Kenny Dope. As writer, arranger, and producer, Parker cooked up a funny desert here, as the lyrics spin: “Puddin is my true love, Puddin’ is my life” …say what?! What’s understood is the vibe, minimal and hypnotic it’s a groove tied tightly to the sound Mr. Dope embodies. Side one of the 12” features a new mix which pulls from all three original versions, Side two is an instrumental study. Kenny pays respect to the Baltimore classic, an effort destined to be a sweet twist for the DJ.
