As LNTG said himself, there've been countless re-edits and reworks of this classic. However, to stand out of the crowd these days whatever the edit, you have to bring something a little bit different to the table. A good edit should improve the track without taking away from the beauty of the original itself. An absolute hallmark of LNTG's work is his ability to pick a track and smother his style all over it. This Chic remake is no different, he's taken a good song and made it club friendly, check out the video yourself to see how it went down when he played it for us. Absolutely blew the roof off when it dropped. BANGER all round.

Souldiction // Studio55
Been a wee while since the last post, so it's only fair to post up a whole heap of bangers to get you through the week.
First comes from our man, Late Nite Tuff Guy. He released this a month or so ago and we can't stop listening to it
Been hearing this Sister Sledge tune for ages now but this particular edit always seemed to slip through the net whenever it came to finding it, so delighted to have finally done so. This recently featured in a mix from the heads in charge of Studio 55, a new night in Newcastle which promises to be a whole heap of fun going by the mix and their facebook goings-on. One to keep an eye on if you're in the North East for sure.

Next is a crowd from Berlin, Souldiction, who fire out some half decent "Hip Hop/ Electronica/ Soul" mixes from time to time, but a lot of the times they can be brown gear. This is one of their better ones, nice and chilled.

Queen & Disco ¦ Podcast 002 - Pt's 1&2
For the second installment of our podcast series we have a double header of live sets taken from our recent night with Get Down Edits and Late Nite Tuff Guy. The two were kind enough to allow us to record live from The Gweedore and they didn't disappoint in the slightest.
PART 1 - Get Down Edits
The first part of the podcast comes from the same fella's who brought us our first ever podcast series, Get Down Edits. On warm up duties for the night the lads, as expected, delivered the goods. We all agreed that the lads could have well headlined the event and we'll have 'em back up north soon enough no doubt.
PART 2 - Late Nite Tuff Guy
The 2nd part of the poddy comes from none other than Late Nite Tuff Guy. We were beaming from ear to ear when we first heard this recording back. As you'd expect from a man who's knowledge and experience is so vast, the set was perfectly crafted over the 90 odd minutes and rose to a bouncing crescendo which had everyone forgetting their dignity.
Make some time for this and give it a listen....

Event ¦ LATE NITE TUFF GUY & GET DOWN EDITS
To say we're excited about the arrival of this act is a huge understatement. As soon as we heard Late Nite Tuff Guy was touring Europe we jumped at the opportunity to book him.
Originally hailing from Adelaide, Austrailia, LNTG has gained popularity and our adoration over the years for his superb re-edits and re-works of classics from soul, rock, motown. However, arguably his biggest hit to date was the remix of DJ Le Roi & Roland Clark classic - "I Get Deep". It was a massive crossover and featured on many DJ’s playlists and charts before being picked up by Get Physical in early 2012 and is still rocking clubs and dance floors around the globe.
Greg Wilson is one of LNTG's biggest admirers, constantly praising the Aussie for his ever-dependable re-edits which he uses in his sets on a regular basis. His back-catalouge of re-edits, originals and mixes is impressive to say the least, type in LNTG to youtube and you'll see what we mean.
On warm-up duties for the night are Waterford's very own Get Down Edits. We've been keeping tabs on the duo for some time now, and their re-edits have seen high praise from many reputable artists on the scene like Bill Brewster, Greg Wilson and Harvey. GDE have already played with LNTG in Galway earlier this summer, and reports say that this is a combination not to be scoffed at. Have a listen to the first in our podcast series that GDE were kind enough to do back in June.
You can catch them both playing on Friday 2nd August, at The Gweedore.

Queen & Disco Presents | Horse Meat Disco @ The Nerve Centre
With the dance scene undergoing a facelift in recent times (even though disco/funk/soul/italo/house orientated DJs have always been around) we, at Q&D, thought it was the perfect time to bring Derry into alignment with what is going on elsewhere on the dance floors across the world.
Only recently Derry played host to the much heralded, and Q&D favourite, Greg Wilson (check out our article on Greg here). Wilson, who played at the Music City event in Ebrington Square, seemed to awaken the crowd to a form of dance music, not often heard in Derry before, dance music which owes itself to dancing! This is achieved through lower BPM tracks, old-school classics, and modern day re-works, not to mention a deep archive of often long forgotten tracks, which all audiences can enjoy and recognise.
This trend is set to continue with the arrival of 'Nile Rodgers Presents- The Chic Organisation' on Sunday 28th July, which is set to be one of the biggest music events of the City of Culture.
Riding on the crest of this wave, The Queen and Disco have been striving to further push this re-invigorated genre onto the masses with a stellar summer line-up of our own, including Horse Meat Disco, Late Nite Tuff Guy, and Get Down Edits.
Our inaugural party is this Saturday, 13th July at The Nerve Centre where Horse Meat Disco, supported by Lowendisko and Q&D residents, will lay down the soundtrack to a night full of grooves and moves.
The residents of Derry are no strangers to the Horse Meat Disco Experience, with the disco troupe performing several times in the Maiden City since their inception almost 10 years ago.
They have become world renowned for their residencies in London, Berlin, Paris and New York and are repeat offenders on turntables across the globe with demand never waning for danceable grooves and the unique party atmosphere they bring.
This is a fresh concept for the Derry dance scene, pushing an all inclusive atmosphere and good vibes, accompanied by the perfect soundtrack to unforgettable parties.
This is not to be missed.

FEATURE ¦ Greg Wilson - The Scene Thorugh his Eyes, and Through Ours
""Disco wasn’t the name I would have personally chosen as the term for what I play now. I felt it came with too much baggage, given previous associations and prejudices, and besides, I was drawing from a much wider palette. However, now it has been named as such, I fully embrace the term in its original spirit – not as a specific genre, but, as I said in the sleevenotes, as music made to be played in clubs and discotheques, in all its splendid diversity, and spanning an entire history.""
Known initially for his DJ'ing in Merseside and Wigan Pier, Greg Wilson crafted out a reputation as being one of the fore-running UK DJ's playing electro sets with predominantly black origins. This was at the time gaining more popularity leading to Wilson being handed the Reigns at legendary Manchester club, The Haçienda, and the wheels were firmly in place for Wilson to go on to big things.

Feature ¦ When do we cross the line between a sample and robbery?
Call me naïve, but when I first heard the Duck Sauce song Barbara Streisand, I genuinely thought that the Djing duo of Armand Van Helden and A-Trak had managed to come up with a
catchy summer melody that would go on to dominate dance floors across the
world.
Despite the fact I found the song hugely irritating, and knew it would only grow to be more so with the countless hours of airtime that would follow, I did appreciate what ‘they had done’.
Despite the fact I found the song hugely irritating, and knew it would only grow to be more so with the countless hours of airtime that would follow, I did appreciate what ‘they had done’.
With this in mind it was to my disgust (Ok maybe that’s a tad harsh, but certainly to my displeasure) that I discovered the song heavily sampled the 1979 track Gotta Go Home by Boney M, who coincidently sampled Hallo Bimmelbahn’s 1973 hit Nighttrain.[1]
You may well ask what my gripe is with this. It is well-known to many that samples are a widely used facet of the music industry and in fact many hits, particularly in the rap/hip-hop and dance genres, utilise samples. My problem, however, does not lie here.
If you take 10 minutes out of your life and listen to the songs previously mentioned you can see what my problem is. At least I hope you can. (Songs linked below)
