There are very few producers with either the confident or ability to take on records of this heritage, but Dave Lee has once again proved that when it comes to sensitive re-workings of disco staples, he’s in a league of his own. There are many decisions to be made, lived with, revised, maybe reversed until finally your gut tells you it’s about right.” To make more of a feature of one element sometimes means there has to be less of something else.
You know it’s a great track, but unlocking the key to doing a worthwhile new version doesn’t always come easy. “Some songs I’ve wanted to get access to the multi for ages turn out to be far less straight forward than I imagined. Luckily for us though, here we are: Remixed With Love Volume 3 is done, dusted and ready to deliver a healthy dose of joy to us all.Īs with previous volumes, Lee has put his own inimitable spin on more than a dozen seminal records, with The Fatback Band, Patti LaBelle, Evelyn “Champagne” King, Odyssey and many more vying for attention across a stunning three part gatefold double vinyl, double CD and digital release.Īs you’d expect from an artist of Lee’s calibre, he’s taken the task extremely seriously. With original parts for some of these classics hard to find, and with major labels rightly protective of songs created by legendary artists, it is a testament to both the perseverance of Lee and the esteem in which he is held as a remixer that the project was ever completed. Remixed With Love Volume 3 has been a real labour of love, and a release several years in the making.
The days when I receive the parts for some of these classic recordings are literally a dream come true.” – Dave Lee “I can clearly remember in the 80s having fantasies about being a remixer and dreaming of tweaking my favourite songs and re-releasing them.
No one knows this era of music better than Dave Lee, who under his Joey Negro alias once again turns his impeccable hand to some of the best-loved records ever committed to wax. Remixed With Love Volume Three is the latest edition of what has become the industry-leading disco remix series.
