Soaring sounds from Joey Negro – a man who's given us plenty
of great club tracks on his own, and who here works some real magic with a host
of gems from the glory days of disco! The tunes are all expanded wonderfully –
given a prime edit sort of treatment – as Joey focuses on key elements that
really make the tunes special, then expands them out in a wonderful way – a
catchy vocal here, slamming piano there, and so on – all at a level that makes
most of these cuts even stronger stormers than in their original versions!
