WHAT JAMES HAMILTON HAD TO SAY ABOUT THIS RELEASE:
WISH: ‘Mr D.J.’ (Streetwave WAVEL 1, via PRT)
I must declare self interest as the 3-track 12in B-side ‘Special Mega-Mix Incorporating ‘Ladies Night‘ by Kool & The Gang’ is my own effort, and to my taste it is overly freaky, but that’s what was demanded. Revolving around repeated pleas for a DJ to play a song again, the chap ‘n’ chix on the original 107-108-107-106½-107-108bpm vocal version weave around a chugging Kool-type bass line, the harder 111bpm instrumental having great sax, while the scratch-introed 108-107-106-106½-108(Kool)-107-108-0bpm remix messes everything about and slips into ‘Ladies Night’.
SIDE AA MIX: MR. D.J. Special Mega-Mix Incorporating 'Ladies Night' by Kool & The Gang
