It's going to be alright!

 This is just so good on so many levels.

Firstly a great re-working by Messrs Farley and Heller under their Fire Island guise.

Then there is those fantastic vocals by the legendary Loleatta.

The track in itself is a great cover of a very good Style Council track from 1985.

To top it all off, it's had a great refresh and resprinkle by HiFi Sean, which adds extra life and energy.

Quality co-labs going on all over the place on this.

Fire Island Feat. Loleatta Holloway - Shout To The Top 

(Hifi Sean Mix)

Salsoul Sensation

The recent passing of Donna Summer put me in mind of another disco legend who left the land of the living last year. Though she has already been tributed on these pages, the peerless contribution of Loleatta Holloway to the club classics canon surely warrants further recognition. Rather than posting some of the usual suspects - Cevin Fisher, Black Box, Cappella, Lenny Fontana - which predominately sample different parts of the vocal from 'Love Sensation', here are a few rather more obscure examples of Ms Holloway's original recordings, including the highly apposite 'No Apology'. What an incredible voice; her ubiquity spanned literally decades, from Salsoul to Fire Island to Sunshine State; from Dan Hartman to Melted Artists to Johnny Vicious. I include the tribal house remix of 'Shout to the Top' by Club 69 on account of the fact that this is the version I remember boogeying on down to back in '98.

No "regrets" about this one, it's pure quality!!

I've always been a huge New Order fan (and Joy Division for that matter), but never been a really big fan of New Order songs which are remixed.
However, this is a real exception.
On the same note I've never been a big Farley/Heller/Fire Island fan.
Their remixes to me are always a bit dull and a tad monotonous.
However, again this is a real exception. The remix is so good it's more like a Frankie Knuckles remix.
Quite simply, it's pure heaven, it really compliments Barney's unique vocals and the piano is just lush (very Frankie Knuckles-esque!!).
It gives the whole track a really beautiful feel.
Absolutely top drawer this one!!
