This has been an all time fave of mine from Armando. The Sylvester sample (from the closing moments of the original 'Dance(Disco Heat)') in 'Dance With Me' just rivited the track into the powerful groove that it conjurs.
It is pure minimalism - simple drum patterns, a gifted bit of sampling looped over it, results in a chunk of disco funk being mutated into Chicago House.
The rest of the tracks are OK - not much to comment on - they just don't have the same magic.
Incidentally, Theo Parrish later worked with the same loop in his Ugly Edits 3 - 'Got a Match' - and so another legendary innovator of house adds to the longevity of the Sylvester original.
