In this show we celebrate the Genius of Disco & Funk remixing legend Joey Negro and his collective The Sunburst Band.
Containing Reworked tracks by Hot Toddy, Diane Charlemagne, Angela Johnson and Matt Bianco plus several classic remixed tracks that you may recognise. There's also further reworks by Dr Packer and Horsemeat Disco too, it's a jam packed show.
Here's a description by Z Records that describes Joey Negro well:
"Joey Negro has been producing with love for close to three decades. Arguably house music’s major proponent of soulful, disco-tinged, vocal records and without question instrumental in its development and popularisation, no-one treats a loop, groove or hook with as much care and attention as Joey Negro.
Joey Negro is the most well-known pseudonym of master British DJ, producer and remixer Dave Lee. Under a plethora of other monikers including Akabu, Doug Willis, The Sunburst Band, Sessomatto, and Z Factor, Dave was one of the first artists to incorporate disco samples in house music when he began his production career in 1988. Indeed, he was in the studio making credible and outstanding British house music when many luminaries around him were still busy getting to grips with their decks. Little has changed since then and Dave is still widely regarded as one of the most credible and in-demand artists on the global scene."
The mix showcases the talent of the man plus he has a huge back catalogue that I intend to work through and deliver to you in shows from now into the future.
