The Goods:
More good news. Apart from the fact that it’s Friday, which is great news in and of itself, to mark the release of their album, The Edits, our homies Drop Out Orchestra bestowed upon DPC a track to share with all you disco loving dance party fiends. It’s a remix of Sterling Void & Paris Brightlege’s “It’s All Right.” The lovely vocals let you know just so, throughout the track and the signature Drop Out rolling basslines we all love are there from start. The track also has funky sort of Disco-House beat with an undeniable touch Chicago House flavoring, i.e. lush piano chords and vogue inducing snares. You may have heard it on their June Mix Session or Mighty Mouse’s June Mix (both below).
Though “All Right” is on the album, it’s takes a different form and is called “Pounds Sterling.” I’ll explain: The tracks on The Edits, despite its title, are more than that. “The Re-imaginings” might be a better suited title. Using four to five musicians, Drop Out Orchestra actually recreate the songs while using only a few bits of the original piece. It’s done to near perfection and the DOO twist tops the cake. The selection tracks is just great: Sade, Talking Heads, Robyn, oh and even Rick Astley (Yup, Drop Out Orchestra just “Rickrolled” dancefloors across the globe). So grab your copy of the album distributed digitally, exclusively through Juno.
Jam out to these dance party approved mixes featuring “All Right.” and have yourself a damn good weekend!
