What They Want, aptly-named, is the most straight-up edit on the EP, taking the best bit and stretching it out. Hiphop tempo, disco-funk in nature, this should be a no-brainer for anyone trying to set the night off. Massive drums in this one too!

Discotheque puts the claps up front, and the riffs snake around them in a twangy, funky way. The progression is reminiscent of the long-play Greg Wilson format, and takes a series of awesome synth-tom fills from another big jam.

Tapping into the moodier side of Italo-influenced pop, Dancing On Ice is reminiscent of many classics with its strummy synthwork, monster 80s drums, and bittersweet vocal snips.

Good For You bites a few classic funk jams to great effect, flipping it with a conga-driven drumloop and an intelligent arrangement that allows for a quickmix or long-play mid-set-piss style.

My personal favourite, Hot Stuff, is not theived from Raydio. Instead, its a totally tense, never-quite-resolving disco churner with a spitfire horn riff that tears through the mix like many of my favourite instrumental mixes from the great original disco mixers (Shep Pettibone, Tom Moulton). This would have been front-crate material in the garage days

Kingdom provides contorted instructions to wanna-be producers while a driving dub-house stomp propels the moog bassline and ecstatic vocal into prime-time territory. The Dub Mix here is an absolute must-have, stripping the track down to its essentials and making it a perfect late night stormer.
