FOREMOST POETS Vinilo y CD

Review: Foremost Poets aka Johnny Dangerous makes a welcome return after contributing to 'Alien Superstar', a track form the Grammy wining album by Beyonce. He shows his next level studio skills and unique sound off again here with the old school darkness of jacking house opener 'Reasons To Be Dismal' (Richard Long Theory version). 'Escape From Dubai' is a marching and hypnotic groove with languorous pads draped over the top and 'Flowers In The Attic' is a soulful and deep shuffler with a great vocal bringing the r&b vibes. 'Don't Shut Your Eyes' closes down with booty-shaking breaking beats and steamy organ chords.

Review: 25 editions deep now, the Attack The Dancefloor 12" series is where we at ZR do our best to cater to our "Is it coming out on vinyl?" crew. Kicking off proceedings is Dave Lee's mix of Foremost Poets classic 'Beside Myself', a brand new remix where Dave delivers a stonking, cowbell cracking slice of house with the soulful joy Johnny Dangerous brings with his vocals. Backing that up on the A's is the peak time disco house track from our friendly neighbour Doug Willis, on this occasion aided and abetted by someone who's been doing the do just as long, but in Chicago - Mr Mike Dunn. Ich Liebe Es Zu Tanzen!.
On the flip is Output / Input's 'Every Time You Touch Me' which gets Boogiefied by Dave Lee, who adds slick Moog bass, jazz-funk guitars & brassy synths under Antonio McLendon's Luther-esque vocal performance. To close out is one for the Garage heads, an exclusive 'Vocal Dub Pressure' version of Groove Assassin's recent hit remix of Destiny II's 'I'm Here For This' which is currently not available digitally. As Kate Bush once said "Wow"!!!
