On Our Radar (1/19/18)

“Groove Is In The Heart” Scotty Boy & Lizzie Curious (Kaisen Records)

This is a straight-up kick-ass cover of the Dee-Lite classic we all know and love! We got a great set of mixes here that cover a lot of ground. Aside from the Club Mix, draw your attention to the Block & Crown and Freshcobar & Lavelle Dupree Remixes. Each mix brings something to the table. 27 years after the original this tune still manages to excite and puts a smile on your face. It took balls to do this, but Scotty Boy & Lizzie Curious did it right!

“Good Times” Yuga & Monaus (Kaisen Records)

Normally we wouldn’t do 2 from the same company on one tip-sheet but both of these tunes are too good not to mention. Yuga and Monaus give us a cover of the Chic classic “Good Times.” Chic covers and sample tracks seem all the rage with killer ones from Fresh Ground & Lokee and now you can put them all together for a Chic medley that’ll pack your floor and remind everybody of the “Good Times” they had & are having!

“Stay Around” Milk & Sugar (Milk & Sugar Recordings)

Without a doubt “Stay Around” is one of the most beloved classics ever! Alaia & Gallo have revisited

this release, updating it for today. The track sounds as fresh today as it did yesterday with all of the elements that made it great still intact. That vocal, those strings, the interplay between the two over a new sparser yet very funky drum track. Milk & Sugar are celebrating 20 years and we salute them giving us the soundtrack of our lives!

“Has Your Man Got Soul” Milk & Sugar (Milk & Sugar Recordings)

Here is another from the Milk & Sugar vaults!“Has Your Man Got Soul” had been re-touched by Peznt and the results are glorious! Nice build ups and a great overall track support the super cute vocals that anchor this release. On all of the Milk & Sugar releases there is a polish and attention to detail that was not missed on this remix. Milk & Sugar = Funky, Soulful, Disco, House tracks that are good for our minds, our bodies and our souls!
