DISCOTASTIC! Episode 51 is at the commercial end of my musical taste buds, the kind of soundtrack my neighbours across the road needed the other night. Should I have popped in and offered to DJ? Maybe next time. This set is packed with covers: the classic “Gypsy woman” given a credible makeover by French DJ Tristan Garner http://www.myspace.com/tristangarner Cheryl Lynn’s 1978 stormer “Got to be real” is brought up to date by UK DJ Groovesplitter, supported on vocals by our cover artist Shena, who you’ll notice appears twice in this set. And this year Mrs Shena Winchester is stepping to the front of the stage after years of providing backing vocals for numerous recording artists with her first solo album “One man woman” coming out in June. You can check it out here: http://www.shena.co.uk/ Listen carefully and you’ll hear beautiful echoes of the classic 70s disco sound. Meanwhile the first single “Can’t stop the rain” is remixed by 7th Heaven in DEF 51. Back to the covers, and in 1986 Jermaine Stewart’s “We don’t have to take our clothes off” was seen as a little risqué. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ID_N7rv-iN8 During his career Jermaine provided backing vocals for Culture Club and before that used to dance on Soul Train. Sadly, Jermaine died in 1997. Using the name Miami Starfish, it’s the Avalon Superstar team who pay homage to Jermaine in this set. And finally Shannon’s 1983 hit “Let the music play” is tranced-up by Bolton production trio Phil Jubb, Terry Higson, and Michael Chadwick, also known as Macutchi. I’m off to Cyprus, so will see you again with DEF 52 in a few weeks.
