WHAT JAMES HAMILTON HAD TO SAY ABOUT THIS RELEASE:
ALEEM ‘Get Loose’ (Streetwave MKHAN 61)
Cult soul singer/producer Leroy Burgess moans and stabs through racing jittery 113½bpm electro beats to make a nagging soul-hip hop fusion that, often bracketed by DJs with ‘Set It Off’, has hung around in London’s hipper dives for nearly a year. Now at last it’s finally out here, flipped by not only its dub but also a brand new Mastermind mixed, scratched ‘n’ cut 0-113⅔-113¾-113⅔bpm medley with the earlier ‘Release Yourself’.
SIDE B MIX: GET LOOSE/RELEASE YOURSELF
MIXED BY: Herbie 'Mastermind' Laidley
LENGTH: 06:30
GENRE: Electro
TRACKS I CAN IDENTIFY IN THE MIX - I have only listed the ones that have prolonged elements or have a short sample repeated multiple times:
Aleem featuring Leroy Burgess - Get Loose (1984); Aleem featuring Leroy Burgess - Release Yourself (1984)
This release also has other tracks on it that are not a megamix.
