but clubs started to gather a different crowd and therefore needed new sounds and new faces. Since the golden days of the paradise garage, clubbing was mainly a gay thing and the sound was clearly on the vocal/garage tip. traditionally, it was a new york thing: every major player had a NYC club residency and competition ruled between them for saturday night fever supremacy.įor years, FRANKIE KNUCKLES, DAVID MORALES, DANNY TENAGLIA, MASTERS AT WORK, TODD TERRY, ROGER SANCHEZ, JUNIOR VASQUEZ used to share between them the soul/r'n'b/pop divas' megabucks pie. but to push it to the limits of dancefloor experience, A-list dj/remixers were needed on the boards. In the mid-90's janet jackson was runnin' the charts thanks to hitmakers JAM & LEWIS.

JANET JACKSON &LUTHER VANDROSS/BEST THINGS IN LIFE ARE FREE S-MAN SALSOUL VIBE/GONE Janet, originally uploaded by thebeathunters. and here i am, lost on the dancefloor again: it's moist, sensually funky and i wish that night never ends. it's a quite simple effective mix but there's something about these drums, THAT bass hook, the synths, the way shara's voice sounds in the mix and the chorus girls whisper in my ear. frankly, all are pretty good, thanks to the track's potential but my fave's always been ATTABOY's. dave sears/future shock and a final delivery by le bustafunk/kings of tomorrow. To my knowledge, at least 4 different sets of 12" remixes were released thru pagan records : one by pepe braddock/furry phreaks (one of many webster's aliases), another one by attaboy/stephane mandrax, a third set feat. The always impeccable london lee at THE NUMBER ONE SONGS IN HEAVEN posted recently the original version of this absolute classic gem of a track, so you'd better go back to his cool writing to grab all info about CHARLES WEBSTER 's PRESENCE album and great featuring by ladysoul diva SHARA NELSON Sense of danger, originally uploaded by thebeathunters. it went on and on and grew kinda ibiza free for the rest of the night, thanks to the bombs bag i had packed, too (more of this selection to come).
#ELASTIC REALITY – CASSA DE X RAR MOVIE#
i feel like i'm in the Antonioni "La Notte" movie which is great, but just to a certain point.then i dropped the jericho jerk and let these keyboard licks spreading over as a dancing virus. for an hour, i'm stayin' alive with bossa nova and cal tjader jams scattered with jazzanova sounds. next thing i know girls start shakin' that ass and guys are losin' it brett sinclair style (me included)! a few months later, i'm playing a stylish outdoor warm-up/open bar set where dancing is usually the very last thing trendy people are thinkin' about. people were really getting down on it: everybody was chillin', drinking like they just don't care. first time i heard it was in a club and i witnessed it building up very slowly from loose jazz jam to dancefloor mayhem. the original album is a classic and the last thing i felt i needed was a fatboy "malpaso remix" or an "invisible mix" by william orbit.īut to me, st germain's track was another story. most of the guys concentrated on the 3 funkier cuts of the opus: PSYCHE ROCK, JERICHO JERK and TOO FORTICHE, except Dimitri who took on TEEN TONIC.įrankly, i never really got into all these remixes. among the likes of COLDCUT, FATBOY SLIM or WILLIAM ORBIT, a solid team of frenchies stood up: DIMITRI FROM PARIS, CHATEAU FLIGHT, THE MIGHTY BOP, KRISS THE FRENCH KISS (aka BOB SINCLAR) and LUDOVIC NAVARRE a.k.a ST GERMAIN. When PHILIPS label realized a brand new generation of hipsters held the two avant-garde composers' MESSE POUR LE TEMPS PRESENT (mass for the present time) as the ultimate 70's french cult opus, a remix project was launched: METAMORPHOSEĪ-league producers were invited to mess with the1967 original ballet (created by maurice béjart) score.
