Various - Back To The Old School Pt II (Z Records) 12inch
Soul Jazzの名コンピ「Hustle! Reggae Disco」に収録されたジャマイカン・バージョンの「Rappers Delight」カバーA1などオールドスクールなディスコ・ラップをUKハウス〜ディスコ大御所Joey NegroことDave Leeが現代のダンスフロア向けにアップデート。
”Part Two of our ‘Back To The Old School’ series has arrived in full effect. Once again, Mr “Love” Lee updates classic disco-rap cuts for today’s dancefloors while preserving their original flavour and integrity. Kicking things off is Xanadu & Sweet Lady’s Jamaican version of ‘Rappers Delight’, where Dave refreshes the instantly recognisable percussion track into a captivating jazz-funk workout, perfectly complementing Sweet Lady’s luscious rapping and somehow making it even more danceable than ever. Up next, Solo Sound ‘We Are The Crew (Called Solo Sound)’ delivers a swampy, lo-down slice of cosmic funk primed to rock any block party. On the flip is an alternate Philly flavoured take on TJ Swann’s 1981 jam ‘Get Fly’. This time Dave Lee re-tracks the MFSB backbone, putting his remixing prowess fully on display and landing squarely in the dancefloor sweet spot. As a bonus, any wannabe disco rappers can hone their skills over the B2 Shepherds Delight (No Rapstrumental Mix).”
