Loose Ends - Hangin' on a String(Werkshy Re-Werk) [FREE DOWNLOAD]

Re-grooved version of a Cerrone classic that builds, twists & undulates over the course of it's near nine minute journey. In many ways this was one of the first disco tracks that feels like a  prototype for House music but using real musicians rather than machines. A simple infectious groove that gets under your skin and builds towards a stunning sax laden crescendo towards the close. Can't wait to drop this on Friday at Big in Japan @ The Book Club - http://tinyurl.com/69ho9en

One of the world’s most celebrated clubs, The Haçienda, opened 30 years ago today, on Friday May 21st 1982. I’ll be heading over to Manchester tonight for the anniversary celebrations, joining other DJ’s from the club’s history to play a few tunes at a ticket only event (proceeds to charity) in the car park where the club once stood.

To mark the occasion I’ll put some related stuff up on the blog later today, under the heading ‘The Haçienda – 30 Years On’:
http://www.gregwilson.co.uk/2012/05/the-hacienda-30-years-on/

I also thought it would provide the perfect opportunity to upload my ‘Walking On Confusion’ mash-up here, which combines 2 Arthur Baker productions from New Order and Rockers Revenge – it’s origin was outlined by Peter Hook in his 2009 book ‘The Haçienda – How Not To Run A Club’, where the New Order bassist recalled the time I asked him if I could remix ‘Blue Monday’ back in 1983, when I was the club’s Friday night resident DJ. 

He wrote; “I remember him coming up to me, asking if he could remix ‘Blue Monday’. I told him to fuck off, thinking it was the most disgusting thing anyone had ever suggested – why should we let someone tamper with our work? How times change. Nowadays the remixes are often better than the originals. I don’t remember much of Greg beyond that episode, although I know he mixed ‘Walking On Sunshine’ by Rockers Revenge into New Order’s ‘Confusion’, which was ingenious. The first mash-up.”

A more comprehensive piece about ‘Walking On Confusion’ (via Nuphonic / Turk Records in 2005), called ‘Confused Beats For Electro Freaks’, can be read here:

Is It In? (a Discobody killer bass)

“It’s not the lights or the music
It’s something that you’re doing to me, girl
It’s not the dance that we’re dancing
That’s making my heartbeat explode
Because you’re turning me on
And there’s no turning off my desire
Before I go any further 
There’s something that I’ve got to know

Is it in?
Is it love inside your heart, girl?
Is it in?
Do you feel it like I do?
Is it in?
Baby has the fire started?
Is it in?
Let me bring it out of you”

Jimmy “Bo” Horne released the disco monster "Is It In?" in 1980 on T.K. Records. It made a huge impact in every dancefloor but sadly the anti-disco movement didn’t let the track rise on the charts and get the recognition it deserved. Nevertheless Larry Levan played it to death on Paradise Garage and so did all the respected DJs.
Later it was sampled by Jungle Brothers for their 1989 tune "Beyond this World" and in 2006 it was featured on Rockstar Games' Grand Theft Auto: Vice City Stories.

On this mix I infuse lots of sounds, beats, bass and voices to make it even more fun (if that's possible!) and I give u  a raw funky intro, a satisfying long twisted break and a manic outro. As Horne says it’s exciting to dance 'n' party but as the night’s getting late it’s also crucial to know that:
“When the last dance is over
You’ll be coming home with me!”

Loose Ends - Hangin on a string

The legendary superstar has done it again. A new single off his upcoming album 'It's About Time', Barrington Levy releases one of his latest work 'Love me like this" ft Heavy 'D'. 

The track was recorded in 2010 in California where both Icons came together to make this Reggae tune. The song speaks of a girl's love, with Barrington Levy's strong vocals resounding off the soothing reggae rhythm and the iconic Heavy D doing his thing like only he can.

With Heavy D's recent passing, Barrington Levy sends his condolences to the family, he wishes to show his respect by sharing the work that they did together and the magic they created with the rest of the world.
