Name: Henry Serne - DJHENtheMEN Home Page: aliveandkicking.eu (for sale) Member Since: 17-Dec-07 04:33 AM Rank: 5 Rated 28 releases, average: 4.89 Location: the Netherlands - Western Europe Profile: Hello there; In the early 80's I was a DJ in Rotterdam. Later on I also sometimes worked in a drive-in-disco. My collection (almost 3000 records: only LP's and 12 inches: not 7 inches) goes back from the mid-seventies untill the mid-nineties. I also own some "unofficial" (re) mixes: about 300. I am a BIG Cowley-fan. He died much to soon (12-11-1982RIP). I think I have most of his records (on the Fusion label as well on the Megatone and other labels) and some stuff he produced. Like the Cowley remix of Michelle's "Disco Dance" in 1977, his famous remix of Donna Summers I feel love, his remakes of Tantra's "the Hills of Katmandu", Two Tons of Fun's "I got the feeling", Hot Posse's "An American Dream" and The Passenger's "Hot Leather". I also own some other very rare Hot Tracks remixes of Patrick Cowley like Dan Hartman's "Relight my fire", LTD's "Back in Love again", Lipp's Inq's "Funky Town" and Tantra's "Hills of Katmandu". If you are a Cowley fan also you let me know. Perhaps we can chat a little. I also have some rare records of him twice (spare) so if you own something special of Cowley let me know... perhaps we can trade something. Ah yeah: if you want to know more about the insides of the San Francisco Bay Area (gay) music scene at end 70s and begin 80s it is VERY necessary to read the (pocket) book: "TRIBAL RITES" written by David Diebold. David was a musician who worked for the Megatone-label and due to this knew many artists... In his book the producers/artists (Sylvester, Cowley, Marty Blecman, Paul Parker) and many other musicians/backup singers tell (live) stories about how they met, which instruments were used(for example which synths Cowley played) and so on. It's VERY, VERY hard to get but definitively worth the trouble to get it... Regards: Henry Serne alias DJHENtheMEN | |

Michele - Disco Dance - 22-Jan-08 05:23 AM
This one is a rare record because of the fantastic early 1977 remix by mr. Patrick Cowley PLUS because it is produced bij mr. Tom Moulton!! On this 12 inch you can hear the synthesizers of mr. Patrick Cowley for the first time ever on vinyl (as far as I know). This 12 inch was a fingerpractice for Cowley's later remixes of Donna Summers "I feel love" and Two Tons of Fun's "I got the feeling".
Disco Dance was fantasticly produced by Tom Moulton.
This record really blows your mind...

What attracts attention with this Fusion release nr FPSF005 is that this version was relaesed in New York and NOT in San Francisco (as the earlyer versions were). I think this shows there were problems with the rights.
The Fusion version is more "primal" than the much more suffisticated version on the Megatone-label. In my opinion the Fusion version therefore is much more authentic and interesting than the Megatone version: it goes back to the very roots of Cowley's way of making music with "basic" instruments before he could buy the more expensive synthesizers...
