WHAT THE D.J. NEWS INSERT HAD TO SAY ABOUT THE MEGAMIX ON THIS RELEASE:
We're pleased to have Bob Viteritti as our second Guest DJ on this program. Bob has built the Lower Deck Disco in Fort Lauderdale into the most popular place in town, with over 70 hours of disco programming during the peak season. While Bob is on a three month sabbatical/vacation, touring the U.S. in his new Cutlass with power moon roof, Frank Hebar is in charge at the Lower Deck. Bob spent several weeks developing, testing, and refining this medley. Like all DISCONET sets, Bob's objective was audience movement and response. Bob based the medley on one of this summer's hottest songs (actually two), Sylvester's "Dance (Disco Heat)" and "You Make Me Feel (Mighty Real)." Sylvester's 12" and then "Sylvester II" LP on Fantasy shot to the top, and wouldn't budge for several weeks. Sylvester says that he had more of a hand in "Step Two" than any of his previous five albums. Harvey Fuqua produced, and Sylvester's manager, Nancy Pitts, was associate producer. And after looking in Los Angeles, New York, and Europe for a new sound, Sylvester found his new musical partner right at home in San Francisco. Patrick Cowley, spotlight man at The City, played Sylvester some of his tapes, and Sylvester totally flipped out. Patrick is a synthesizer programmer and keyboardist, a real magician with electronic sound. (Patrick did the Mega Mix of "Disco Dance" by Michelle on Volume 1, Program 7.) In Bob's "Dance and Feel Medley", Sylvester gets an assist from Voyage's "Lady America", T-Connection's "Let Yourself Go", Musique's "In The Bush", and Dan Hartman's "Instant Replay." Used wisely, this set should help make very hot nights even hotter.
