BLACK LABEL going WAX VINYLLA

Deep House, Italo, Acid Disco and Early Electro Funk and retro-tinged disco for serious disco aficionados 
A Collection of upfront, nu disco and funky house inspired grooves "Devoted To Disco" turning swathes of unexpectant clubbers onto string-laden disco stompers
A string of obscure but highly danceable disco records in the dance music underground from Pied Piper: 
better known for his releases under a string of cheeky "nom de produce" : Fiddler / Funkula / Dancealot / Willie
He built his reputation on the strength of a dizzying, shadowy portfolio of singles, remixes, and unofficial “disco edits” that have powered dancefloors from New York to Tokyo.

The expert craftsmanship found on Pipers's productions is a result of all those years spent splicing together disco edits—isolating and reveling in a track’s finest aural treasures and extending them to infinity. 
In its finest expression, the disco edit is disinformation, a way to scramble the signal of the familiar into something uncanny, a means by which to mis-remember the past, to pull a switcheroo on memory, to suggest parallel dimensions to its dancers.

Dave Lee re-ignites his Prospect Park alias for a storming new single Shake It Up Tonight. This boogietastic rework of an underrated Cheryl Lynn cut gives the song an extended, string-heavy treatment with bucket loads of live musicianship and soulful disco energy. Available in either the full vocal Disco Re-Shake or the George Benson style guitar-driven Jazzy Re-Shake.

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’. Full story and YouTube clip here at Electrofunkroots:

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:
http://soundcloud.com/moplen/david-joseph-you-cant-hide-moplen-edit  

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.
