The man behind the mixing desk is however no novice, having served up his first instalment of dance floor dynamite way back in 1991, and there followed a decade of underground signals under various guises, before a self-imposed exile and prolonged radio silence ensued…

Rising phoenix like from a suitably fashionable hiatus, and using the alias Discotonik to cover his tracks, this is a blazing return to the fray that catapults our man firmly into the middle of the action. The A side open's with Slicks 'Space Bass', Slick being a cosmic side project for Larry James (Fat Larry's Band) ,expertly re-tooled to fire up today's dancefloor. The flip is very much in the same anthemic territory, with added punch underpinning Goody Goody's 'It Looks Like Love'. Its creator Vince Montana, the vibraphonist & Disco Godfather who founded Philadelphia's MFSB before leaving to set up the legendary Salsoul record label spent decades honing the art of 'moving the crowd'. This track is a family affair with his daughter Denise Montana handling vocal duties. Both these reworks are irresistible and we expect them to feature heavily in the sound of summer 2016.

Like the very best of today's editors, Discotonik does not set out to reinvent the wheel. Since back in the day, the basic wheel functions perfectly well, yet with some modification and augmentation, they are now arguably better designed for the modern highways. Similarly, these reconstructions retain all that was wonderful about the originals, yet add a little magic to meet the rigorous demands and tastes of a new generation of nocturnal creatures.

You will almost certainly be familiar with the source material and these Black Hot rubs provide a new twist as well as a great excuse to get them back out of the vaults and onto the play-list.
