The Mr K Edits RISE & SHINE
(7 INCH)

Given that Mr K (that's NYC disco and house legend Danny Krivit to you and me) has been re-editing tracks since the late 1970s, it's perhaps unsurprising that his well of killer re-cuts never seems to run dry. On his latest two-track missive, he abandons the sprawling epics he's renowned for and instead offers up two on-point, radio-ready workouts. On 'Rise & Shine', he gives his take on a lightly wonky, new wave-era synth pop number, emphasising the slightly sleazy and futurist synth melodies, the just off metronomic machine drums and wild-eyed female lead vocals. 'Church Girl Church', meanwhile, is a tight, joyous and mood enhancing take on a piano-powered slab of righteous gospel-soul perfection.[info sheet from distr.]
