WHAT JAMES HAMILTON HAD TO SAY ABOUT THIS RELEASE:
DISCO MIX: ‘Fusion’ (US Disco Mix 12-1001)
Latest and by far the best of the special New York DJ bootlegs, this incredible 15:30 12in contains all your favourite rhythm breaks edited together and vari-speeded so that there is an amazingly consistent bass beat running through them all without any dancer-throwing hiccups! Starting at 122bpm, it remains in the 122-123-124bpm bracket apart from some mind-blowing 126bpm bits towards the end, where various Cerrone/Moroder synthesizer breaks erupt into ‘Dance Dance Dance’, the individual “dance” words interspersed with accurately inserted snippets from other “dance” records. You can dip in and synchronize the rhythm with whatever you were playing, leave the mixed breaks on for a while to amaze your punters, then go back into something else. However, this is not being generally imported so may be hard to find – though it’s almost worth the trip to New York.
