Jay Strongman - East West (1989)


Jay Strongman has always been one of our "All-Time-Heroes", a real legend in the club/radio/music scene in UK, a Dj with a phenomenal taste in good music, when at the end of the eighties most record companies where asking Djs to produce records, he teamed up with Mark Saunders and vocalist Maureen Walsh and released "East West", a happy partytime tune with a very clever use of samples (That opera break is a strike of genius!!!).

Lena Fiagbe - Gotta Get It Right (1993)

This is another one of our favourite and quite unknown tracks. Once again the original was a downbeat track produced by Martin Ware (from British Electric Foundation and Heaven 17) but thanks to the great remixer Paul Gotel was transformed in a great House tune (Way before than the terms Disco-House and Funky-House were conceived!!!). Note of curiosity: it appeared that at the time Lena Fiagbe was quite unhappy with the Remix cause it was way too different from her musical direction!!! (But this didn't stop him to remix her in the two following singles!!!)
