However, I will enlighten you with my personal favorites.
You won’t be sorry and most of you will place it on replay. In my opinion, all 20 tracks reworked with percussion, vibes, and other delightful sounds and instruments and breaking down each track would turn this review in to a short novel, so you’ll just have to believe me when I say, get this release today. These artists include: The O’Jays Patti LaBelle The Trammps George Benson Grace Jones Robert Palmer Nicolette Larson Cheryl Lynn Thelma Houston Jean Carn Christopher Cross and Norman Connors are a few of the big names that make up the double album. Dave Lee, known as Joey Negro, has painstakingly and masterfully worked all kinds of magic remixing the original multi-track tapes of 20 hand picked classic disco, soul, funk and pop songs that formed his musical taste and shaped his future as a DJ decades ago.

2’ picks up where the first installment of the series left off. I know most of you reading will also be brought back to some of your most favorite times when the music represented on this 2 Gatefold Double Vinyl LP/Double CD was everywhere on the FM airways. And that's before you even start on the remixing - which is when you find half the parts are missing, or you can't foreground that killer piano lick you wanted to because the original was recorded live in the studio and the piano track has the bassline bleeding all over it.Way back in the late 70s and early 80s, my summer days were spent hanging out at the public pool in the small town I lived in and on those days you’d hear all kinds of music filling the air coming from the cool kids that had their “boom boxes” blaring. Then you have to track down the original tapes - when many may have been recorded over, lost or simply destroyed - and convince the label archivists to get them digitised. First, you have to get permission from the copyright owners to undertake the project at all - which can in itself entail hundreds of emails and phone calls. Putting an album like this together is no easy feat, as Dave himself explains in the extensive liner notes that accompany this package. These multi track tapes also uncovered elements that were not used in the original mixes so Joey has incorporated some of these never before heard parts such as the Grace Jones aerobic workout instruction. Which means not only are you getting the best possible sound quality, the creators of the original tracks are getting paid too - as they damn well should be.

Not only is the man with one of the most legendary record collections in the game guaranteed to dig deeper than most, every track you hear has been (re)created using spanking new analogue transfers of the original multi-track tapes, with the full consent and co-operation of the copyright owners. But where Soundcloud, Beatport et al heave under the weight of a gazillion bootleg offerings, many taking a dusty, scratched old 12-inch or a dodgy MP3 as their starting point, Remixed With Love is a little different.
So allow us to present 20 more reworkings of classic soul, funk, disco and boogie tracks from the likes of Grace Jones, Robert Palmer, Cheryl Lynn, The O'Jays, Gwen McCrae, George Benson and many more.Īdmittedly, we live in a world where remixes and edits of vintage dancefloor anthems aren't exactly hard to come by, in the same way that grains of sand aren't hard to come by on a beach. It's been over two years since the first instalment which topped many sales charts on its release so now the remixes that made up that album have been heard on house and disco dancefloors around the world ever since, it's time for Volume 2. Z Records is starting 2016 with the follow up to Remixed With Love.
