The group that pioneered mainstream break dancing in the seventies is back thanks to Space Ibiza resident Jay C. Taking to the 1983 hit 'Hey You' and reworking it for a new century. The Radio Edit is unashamedly fun retaining much of the feel of the original, while the original of this remix is where you see most of Jay C's handiwork.
I found the Beat Freaks mix a little weak but there is also a Beat Freaks dub that could make for some interesting live remixing. Martin ten Velden's remix strays further from the original but benefits from a bit more tempo and a thick bouncing bassline. Friendly's earlier work was a personal favourite of mine so it's no surprise that his remix is also my favourite from this bunch. The dark electro elements balance out the classic vocal sampling for an intriguing ride.
Available June 7 on Nebula or tune into DanceNode Radio this week for a preview.
