Le Chic Remix 5

It was 2010 when Dimitri From Paris first got his hands on the parts to some of Chic’s biggest hits, with some of the resultant revisions appearing on an expansive “Chic Organization” box-set. Glitterbox has been reissuing them all over a series of 12″ singles, with this volume boasting the Parisian’s vocal and instrumental versions of both “My Forbidden Lover” and “I Feel Your Love Comin’ On”. The latter is a deliciously dubbed out affair that pushes the track’s heavy electrofunk-meets-disco-funk groove to the fore, with flashes of Nile Rodgers’ razor-sharp guitar riffs and echoing vocal snippets rising and falling throughout the mix. It’s the versions of “My Forbidden Lover”, complete with stunning orchestral breakdowns and extended instrumental breaks, that really set the pulse racing, though. – Juno
