Here's another one of my personal edits that I've never planned on releasing in the Underdog vinyl series. Kool And The Gang's Open Sesame is an unadulterated disco classic. So why do an re-edit of it, you may ask? I, actually, did it on a dare. DJ Wayne Williams of the legendary DJ collective, The Chosen Few (http://www.chosenfewdjs.com) asked me to do a re-edit set of songs that he selected, for him to debut at their now-famous House Music Festival. To be honest, I wasn't too crazy about the choices, including this one. I loved the song as it was, but he dared me to do a edit of it. So, after a more focused listening, I noticed that even though there was a 12'' version of the song, the mix wasn't that DJ friendly. And sometimes with edits, you add your own vision of the song. So, I gave it a more dubby intro and a new drum outro. I think it didn't turn out too bad! Well, you be the judge! 
Enjoy another exclusive edit!
