about

The original is a low-slung slice of garage disco that could have come out of NYC in the mid-90s on a label like Maxxi or Strictly Rhythm. It's got nagging percussion, a super heavy kick, driving hats and wobbling sub all wrapped round a chunky sample.

The deadpan vocals are a take-down of a former lover and there's something of the drag queen scene in it's pithy bitchiness and attitude.

Flash Atkins takes it deep and dancefloor for a heads down main room shoe shuffler. It's tribal and hypnotic with analogue synths washing in and out while the shifting bass takes centre stage as the vocals tell their story.

Sleazy McQueen brings out The Reasons Why's disco heart with a mix that sounds like a mirror ball on a Saturday night. With a popping Orange Juice bass circa Rip It Up, synth toms, that sample and classic house piano it's modern disco at it's best.

Leon Sweet brings his own pitched-down bottom heavy chugging sensibility to the table. He nags the vocal in before the tech bass sets off and the track builds with congas and acid line in to a reverbed big floor head-masher.

Finally, the instrumental finished things off for those allergic to vocals.
