Review by laconic Oct 12, 2003

Most definitely one of the first "Disco Loop" house records. A favorite in underground clubs in cities such as Chicago, "Dance" was completely unique at the time.

"Disco" was still a dirty word in 1990-1991. Dance songs were either piano driven House (CeCe Peniston's "Finally", Blackbox) or moving towards Rave and Techno (Joey Beltram's "Energy Flash"). A song that dared to sample a disco bass vamp was boldly referencing a time that was still thought of as embarrassing, and yet anticipating developments that House would make a good five years later.

Abstract, yet compellingly danceable, "Dance" can be heard even today in the playlists of more discerning and knowledgeable DJs. "Classic" in every sense of the word.
