Classics: Disco/Reediciones

Review: 1982 was a time of bad suits, bad haircuts and Men At Work. Thankfully the music wasn't all bad, especially that coming from Imagination, a group of backing singers turned pop stars. "Just An Illusion" reached a top ten position in the UK national charts when it was originally released and has been a staple on radio stations and compilations for 25 years. But it was also a huge underground club hit in the UK before it enjoyed commercial chart success, and has been in some of the most credible record boxes ever, including the likes of Harvey and Erol Alkan. Bearing this in mind we wanted to rekindle its underground heritage by choosing a remixer away from the norm, Hans-Peter Lindstrom is anything but the norm. He was born and raised on country & western on the west coast of Norway. Now residing in Oslo, he is a multi-talented musician and over the last few years has become one of the world's hottest underground producers, making electronic music with a nerve.

Review: "Burnin' Up" was the B-side to the chart hit "Flashback" back in 1981, but it was "Burnin' Up" that received the DJ support, being hammered at the Paradise Garage by disco legend Larry Levan. When we told Dimitri From Paris about our 10 project, he was insistent that if he was going to remix an Imagination record that it would be this one. Dimitri needs no introduction as his love and knowledge of disco is legendary. The compilations he does are instant collector's items and his productions are a clever balance between disco and house. Here he delivers two superb mixes.
