Let The Music Play

Let's start the week off with a feel-good summertime Beatconductor re-edit of everybody's favorite Lionel Richie song "All Night Long (All Night)". This version of the edit was featured on the Beatconductor's 2006 album A Collection Of Reworks. An slightly different version of the edit was also released a year prior as a twelve-inch single. Overall, it's a clever edit that is absolutely perfect for these current warm summertime backyard BBQ parties. Enjoy!

Beats Along the Caribbean Path

With the weather warming up to 70 degrees here in the bay, I thought I would go a little tropical with one of the many great re-edits, titled "Caribbean Path", from Ture Sjöberg, aka the Beatconductor. On this edit, Sjöberg uses a tasty dose of Caribbean-style steel percussion blended with a nice heavy backing groove to reproduce a track that is not only tropical, but very funky. This clever re-edit was released as a twelve-inch, alongside two other solid edits, in 2008 off the Spicy label. I admit that I'm not the biggest fan when it comes to steel-styled percussion, however on "Caribbean Path" the Beatconductor proves once again why he always tends to be ahead of the pack. Enjoy the sunshine!

Disco Skating Beats Jogging

Does anyone wish they would bring back the roller disco? Well regardless, here is Citi's classic roller boogie gem "Roller Disco". This was the group's hit single and title track off their 1979 LP, Roller Disco, released on the De-Lite Records label. I also thought I would share a solid re-edit of the classic roller boogie track by Southside Connection, released back in 2003. The edit has a bit of a house vibe, however I think it would still work nicely in a disco mix. Now break out the skates and boogie!
