The Mr K Edits
Love Money / Smack Dab In The Middle
About this item
No one edits a classic like Mr. K, as he has proven time and time again. Now the legendary studio craftsman is back and revisiting Paradise Garage and some of the club's legendary sounds. First up is TW Funkmasters' 'Love Money,' which was conceived by UK radio reggae jock Tony Williams and fuses Dennis Brown's reggae hit 'Money In My Pocket' with early rap influences. The dub version was embraced by New York's dance scene and became iconic at the 'Garage, with many homages coming later such as Larry Levan's Man Friday remake, 'Love Honey, Love Heartache.' On the flip, Janice McClain's 1979 Philly disco classic 'Smack Dab In The Middle' shines as Larry Levan's mix is reworked by Mr. K who turns up the jazzy groove with fresh breaks.
STAFF COMMENTS
Barry says: A super funky twosome from one of the masters of the edit, Mr K. This time we get a housey NYC bumper in the Funkmaster's 'Love Money' and the sultry lounge swing of 'Smack Dab In The Middle'. Classic tunes, great edits.
