MAM Edits

Upcoming on W+L Black are the MAM Edits. Miguel Campbell and Matt Hughes make up the french house inspired disco duo. With tracks on Outcross Records, Nocturnal, Slow Network, Mullet Records, No.19 Music, upcoming on W+L black, and Hot Creations, it would seem that they are taking a step up in the underground in many of the right ways. I first heard of Miguel when Active Touch made the rounds on Hot Natured, what a track! Miguel and Matt's french laced house tingles with synth, is filtered for maximum effect, and has infamous robot guy sining about getting down. Reminiscent of Daft Punk yet with a classic feel that was born 20 years too late, these edits are sure to set fire to a dancefloor near you. Vinyl out September of 2011, get you some.

Star light/war

you will find a good variety of remixed and edit material written about on this blog. Fittingly enough, the first post is about one of the true edit kings, he has been doing it since the early 80's and his influence on the house/disco music and dance scene is huge across the UK and worldwide. I present to you two tracks from Greg Wilson that i find delightful. The first is a Crazy P song called Star War that GW remixed. THe bassline twirls around the fluffy top end, grooving the whole time. This track is on Paper Recordings and is well worth the listen (as is the ray mang version as well!)

The next one is an Escort track called Starlight, also remixed by Greg WIlson in a tight fashion. Escort is a group of 7 or 8 from NYC that make quality disco cuts. This original record was 001 on Escort records. I really like the way Wilson manages to highlight the strings in the breakdown, keeping the bass line rolling along until the groove breaks back in. Again, WIlson has been doing this a long time, these are just two that i am really digging on at the moment. Enjoy!
