Christopher Just - I'm A Disco Dancer (And A Sweet Romancer)

The original is one of those records that sits on a fine line between silly tosh and greatness. You have a standard beat with this utterly simple melody running through most of the track and then those infamous speak & spell vocals. The original had enough variety to pull of being a really simple track, one of the key moments is when things get switched up 3minutes in.

Dave Clarke utilized that part entirely for his remix, looping it up and strapping on a hard kick under. Dave's remix seems almost more gimmicky than the original on a first glance but it works on the dancefloor.

Fatboy Slim did his usual thing with his remix, switched up the groove to a breakbeat and some funky grooves added. SCO gets rid of the original beat aswell, and works up the track to a techy house groove, dropping elements of the vocal here and there and building it up hard. 4minutes in you hear a harder kick being tacked on and you expect a big climax but SCO tear it down to then introduce some of the original elements, including the melody.

the b-side-track from the limited version of this release seems to be a remix of marshall jefferson´s "move your body" using the vocal sample and a rework of the original stabs with cheesy synths. funny track.

Some early pressings in black vinyl contain a secret remix on side B rumoured to be by Christopher Just himself.

There are many remixes of this christopher just track, but probably the best mixes are the original version and the dave clarke remix. For techno fans the dave clarke mix is a full on mad techno/house fusion including vocodered voicing, and driving sounds/beats. A well engineered track.
Dave clarke used it as his opening track on a radio 1 mix.
The original version is more house tempo and credibly done by christpher just.
