David Joseph’s ‘You Can’t Hide (Your Love From Me)' is a track I’ll forever have a strong personal association with, given that it was with 2 copies of this 12" that I made my claim to fame as the 1st UK DJ to mix live on TV – on February 25th 1983 at Newcastle’s Tyne Tees TV studio, on the classic British music show, ‘The Tube’.

Last April I was sent a link to an edit by Italian DJ Moplen™ and was, as you can imagine, intrigued when I saw what it was - David Joseph – ‘You Can't Hide (Your DUB From Me)’. Utilizing the Larry Levan mix (I’d used original UK twelves on The Tube, the Levan mix wouldn’t come until later, when the track went big in the NYC clubs), Moplen had done a fine job, but unfortunately I couldn’t play it. 

I replied to his mail, explaining that because of my connection to the track I would need the vocal in there at some point, otherwise the dancefloor might feel short changed. The whole dub vibe teases things up a treat, but the money shot of the song is a must for my own purposes. Moplen was getting a great reaction to the edit as it was, and rightly so – check it out here:

So, for my own personal use, I edited Moplen’s edit to incorporate the full vocal, and the resulting version became one of my big festival tracks of 2011, and something that’s appeared in a number of my live mixes.

This track has come a long way with me since I was first sent a UK promo by Island Records 29 years ago.

I Love Music (Shit Hot Soundsystem Rework)

This is my take on one of my favorite songs by Candi Staton.  I flexed it with Logic to keep it nice and steady and extended the intro to 32 bars.  I kept most of the original verses and choruses together, but moved more quickly from the all-the-way-to-drums breakdown to the keyboard outro.

One thing that made this one tough to mix in and out of my sets was the fact that the riff moves in 6s (rather than 4s like many other disco tunes.)  I 'solved' that little dilemma by reworking the keyboard solo at the end to move in 4-bar groups.  Finally, I faded the instrumentation into the drum and bongo intro for a nice outro (from the beginning of the keyboard solo there are 48 bars left in the track.)  I hope you enjoy it playing it as much as I enjoyed making it!
