The House Is Rockin / California Style

Most Excellent Unltd

Bobby Caldwell may be best known for his timeless hit 'What You Won't Do For Love' but he has also penned a ton of other tunes that are just as great. Edit king Danny Krivit knows that and now shines a light on some of the hidden corners of the American's discography with a twist of Caldwell's first single, 'The House Is Rockin'. Opening with an extended, DJ-friendly drum break, Krivit stretches the track into the breezy, sunlit groover it always hinted at being and on the flip, he reworks Eddy Grant's 'California Style', teasing out its pre-house vibes and zeroing in on the bubbling synths and hypnotic bassline while trimming the vocals. As always with Mr K, these are both essential edits.

Rise & Shine / Church Girl Church

Most Excellent Unltd

Given that Mr K (that's NYC disco and house legend Danny Krivit to you and me) has been re-editing tracks since the late 1970s, it's perhaps unsurprising that his well of killer re-cuts never seems to run dry. On his latest two-track missive, he abandons the sprawling epics he's renowned for and instead offers up two on-point, radio-ready workouts. On 'Church Girl Church', he gives his take on a lightly wonky, new wave-era synth pop number, emphasising the slightly sleazy and futurist synth melodies, the just off metronomic machine drums and wild-eyed female lead vocals. 'Rise & Shine', meanwhile, is a tight, joyous and mood enhancing take on a piano-powered slab of righteous gospel-soul perfection.

STAFF COMMENTS

Barry says: Main room disco grooves from Mr. Krivit, here with 'Rise & Shine' featuring a bright piano progression and syrupy smooth vocals, while 'Church Girl Church' brings the gospel power, with a soulful vocal sitting atop synth stabs and echoing kick drums.

I Want You / Only The Strong Survive

Most Excellent Unltd

The one and only edit king really struck gold with his iconic rework of Marvin Gaye's 'I Want You,' which now celebrates 20 years with its first-ever 7" reissue on Most Excellent Unlimited. Stripping back the original to spotlight Gaye's sensual vocals and minimal conga-driven rhythm, this near-drumless edit is pure magic. On the flip, Mr K delivers a euphoric edit of Billy Paul's Philly disco gem 'Only The Strong Survive' and stretches its soaring vocals and propulsive groove into an extended, floor-lifting finale. Both sides are essential: one intimate and sultry, the other triumphant and explosive, making this another essential 45 rpm from Mr. K.

Master Blaster / I Was Made To Love Her

Most Excellent Unltd

New York's incomparable edit king, and a hugely prolific one at that, Danny Krivit aka Mr K returns with some elongated reworks of a couple of Stevie Wonder's most timeless tunes. First up is his version of 'Master Blaster' which was originally the sound of Stevie paying tribute to Bob Marley. In his hands, it has a big intro and drums ready to rock. Flip it over and you will find 'I Was Made To Love Her' which has big r&b overtones and the sort of breakdowns that really build a vibe in the club. Adding in lashings of signature soul and you have two more steamy and effective tributes from the one and only Mr K.

STAFF COMMENTS

Paul says: Perfect for those moments when the crowd are like 'play summat we know!' - Danny Krivit twists these two Stevie staples in his time honoured style.

Giving My Love / Brazil

Most Excellent Unltd

The one and only Mr. K presents a two-sided treat here starting with Janice McClain's underrated 1983 disco track and featuring a smooth, laid-back groove that blends steppers vibes with mid-tempo Philly soul. Written by McClain's uncle Milt Tennant and Thom Page, it captures a classic sound that is further enhanced by McClain's heartfelt vocals. This edit trims the rare 12" version for a 7" debut with pristine sound and the B-side flips to a fresh take on 'Brazil', which was a 1975 hit by the Ritchie Family. Mr. K's edit extends the vamp section, offering a full, uninterrupted four minutes of irresistible disco joy.

STAFF COMMENTS

Matt says: Lord Krivit returns to his 7" series once again. With a smoochy soul number on side A and an extravagant example of pure disco POMP on side A, what's not to love?

Love Money / Smack Dab In The Middle

Most Excellent Unltd

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.

It features two mid-tempo tracks uniquely edited by the studio scalpel master himself as they make their debut on 45rpm.

Wela Wela / Komi Ke Kenam

Most Excellent Unltd

The wonderful Mr K is back with more edit magic on his own Most Excellent label, this time adding his own spin to 'Wela Wela', a hard edge and raw funk cut from Black Blood, a band of musicians from central Africa but who were based in Belgium. This one was never a hit back in the day for some reason but is built on a killer groove that Mr K reworks and tweaks for more suitable dance floor deployment. It was formerly on his Grass Roots record but now makes its way to a handy 7". On the flip is 'Komi Ke Kenam (Fish & Funjee)' which has tough breaks and funk bass that will ensure 'floors get down and dirty.
