T-Dance Edition 2009 Volume 2 (Take 1)

Originally this was going to be a three-mix set.  I had thrown in some experimental house into the mixes that I really enjoyed but was concerned that many of you may not be ready to go on that journey with me just yet. Besides, this has been one of the longest winters in recent memory and I think people need a healthy dose of summer to help improve their mindset.  However, I did manage to keep a few songs that I think you can easily digest. Whether it's the jazzy renderings of Kerri Chandler's "Track 1 Revisited", the Earth, Wind & Fire stylized "Higher High" by Ralf Gum and Daniel Thomas, or the all-out disco romp of Liquid Gold's "Dance Yourself Dizzy" these are all elements I have not used before and there are certainly more twists in the second take of this set scheduled for a Saturday release.  Nevertheless, they all gel quite well into this stylized funky, and soulful set that will have you relaxing one minute and up on your feet the next.  There are no losers here, just pure joy! I did want to make one little side note about the Liquid Gold song.  LG was a disco group out of England that in 1979 had a top 5 disco hit "My Baby's Baby" on the Parachute Label,  which was a subsidiary of you guessed it, the famous Casablanca Records.  "Dance Yourself Dizzy" was the follow-up song released by the group later that year and peaked at #26 in 1980. For the most part, I think this song pretty much fell under the radar and I was surprised to see two outstanding remixes for it (7th Heaven and Yomanda), instead of their first (and only) memorable hit.  After all, "My Baby's Baby" was also a top twenty hit on the pop charts. Regardless, "Dance Yourself Dizzy" has all the entrapments of pure cheezy disco and will no doubt have you on your feet spinning around while the mirrorball lights accent your every move.  You can read more about the group and an entire lot of other disco greats with amazing mixes to boot at T.M.L.
