Description
2021, 12″, Kassian Versions. Limited, hand stamped white label.
Fifteen months after dropping his first Versions EP of re-edits and reworks, sometime Shall Not Fade and SB Jamz producer, Kassian, has finally got round to readying volume two. If you’re looking for bona-fide peak-time thrills, we’d recommend A-side, ‘If You Want Me’, a subtly straightened and toughened-up re-arrangement of Barbara Roy and Ecstasy, Passion & Pain’s 1981 disco anthem, ‘If You Want Me’. Kassian teases out some of the Italo-disco style elements audible on some of the early mixes of the boogie-era track, adding some twerkin’ acid lines towards the end of the track. Over on the flip, ‘So Nice’ is a bouncy, shuffling, house-style tweak of a gorgeous disco bumper of unknown origin. – Juno
