Don't Stop Til You Get Enough (House remix) (7:00)
Wanna Be Startin' Something (House remix) (6:52)
Review: The vaults of Michael Jackson will always provide rich pickings for edit specialists and remixes. The originals were so packed with brilliance that tweaking them for modern ears or club contexts is a fairly easy job. Still, this latest offering does well to flip 'Don't Stop Til You Get Enough' into a house cut. It's a subtle job with filters doing much of the work as original strong flourishes, drums and vocals remain largely intact. Flip it over and it is 'Wanna Be Startin' Something' that becomes a 4/4 jam with soulful but driving drums and more MJ vocal magic up top.
Review: Michael Jackson's music will always remain a great source of inspiration for sample hunters and so it continues to prove many years after his death. This new 12" comes on an unknown label and features two House remixes. The first tackles 'Billie Jean' and does little to it but to lay out the drums for more useful club play. The vocal keeps it hook and then on the flip is 'Baby Be Mine' which also comes as a nice house version, this time with some lush disco stings and plenty of warm and soulful vibes.
Review: He may be long gone but the music of Michael Jackson will forever live on. Not least as a great source of samples and originals to remix for the modern dance floor. And that's what we have here with a trio of new remixes from an artist by the name of MJ. First to get beefed up with some club ready drums is 'Can't Help It', then 'Remember The Time' (House remix) has a more balmy feel with the swirling pads above crisp drum funk. Last but not least, 'Butterflies' (House remix) has filtered vocals with a sunny feel and some nice smooth house drums.
Review: The King of Pop will always be a source of edit inspiration for DJs across a whole range of genres. His material stands the test of time even if his character does not and that's why we have a couple of new house remixes of two of his better-known hits. First up is an eight-minute take on 'Thriller' which retains plenty of the original vocals and flashes of the basslines and melodies but also bumps along like a DJ Harvey twisted chug disco banger. 'PYT' (House remix) is closer to the original - a playful, body-popping disco gem with smooth vocals.
Review: The music of the King of Pop is evergreen and remains popular with new generations, not least house artists looking to tweak and edit some of the greats into more club ready sounds. That's what happens here with a new [air of remixes on a hand-stamped 12". 'Off The Wall' is first with all the original events such as the funky bassline and sweet falsetto vocal in place while shuffling, house-leaning drums are layered in for a little extra grooviness. 'Rock With You (House remix)' is more pumping with chopped up vocal fragments, synth stabs and twitchy beats all sure to raise the temperature levels.
