Tony LeMans - Cookie Crumbles - 28-Aug-07 10:38 PM
An excellent release which explores two different soundscapes. The Higher Than High remix is an interesting Basement Boys re-work, hypnotic and rather midtempo, but the most valuable stuff lies on the A-side : Cookie Crumbles, sung by a very Bobby-Brown-sounding Tony, and produced by Dave "Scritti Politi" Gamson in the vein of his classic "Boom! There She Was". Scritti Politti meets babyface-ish new-jack : a powerful mix which should delight every late 80's "urban" music lover.

Buggers, The - The Bugger Groove - 20-Aug-07 03:59 PM
One electro 12" among many others which were produced during the golden age of early electro/hip hop/freestyle. But what makes this record very special is the much sampled SFX track, including the famous 'Picture this, recording studio somewhere far, far away', which became a few years later the introduction of one of the first acid house commercial anthems : 'Jack To The Sound Of The Underground' by Peter 'Hithouse' Slaghuis.

Robert Palmer - You Are In My System - 20-Aug-07 02:13 PM
Sometimes covers are better than their original version. This remake of The System by Robert Palmer is an excellent example of this exception to the general rule. First, the sound is BIG and much more powerful than on the original 12" (big up to Dominique Blanc-Francard, the French sound guru). But the real difference lies in the vocal. Listening to Robert Palmer re-interpretating this classic, you simply understand the gap between an OK singer and a real great voice. An underestimated masterpiece of dance music that should be played in real clubs, for sure!

Huey Lewis & The News - I Want A New Drug - 16-Aug-07 02:00 AM
Big new wave/rock song, very close to perfection : great lyrics, Huey at the top, and a monster horn section that I suspect to be Tower of Power's one. As always, John Luongo adds what is needed to transform this song into a dancefloor stormer. Obviously a must-have for all the fans of rock/dance crossover !

Dan Hartman - Keep The Fire Burnin' - 11-Aug-07 04:23 PM
A truly essential dance music album, which gathers most of Dan Hartman dance hits in their full extended version (from disco to house). Forget about the first track (Todd Terry going eurodance ...) and listen directly to "Living in America" sung by his author & producer (great mix courtesy of John 'Bongo' Luongo, highlighting Stevie Ray Vaughn guitar), to Larry Levan dubstyle remake of "I Can Dream About You", to Frankie Knuckles Sound Factory Bar-style remix of "Keep The Fire Burnin'". Great moment too with the rare instrumental version of "Relight My Fire".
