(26/18) When Henry Street & Sacred Rhythm Music join forces for a remix outing, it should be obvious the source material and resulting productions are of the utmost caliber. This record proves such a case in point: Johnny “D” DeMairo & Joe Claussell team up for two takes on Candi Statons 1979 disco opus ‘When You Wake Up Tomorrow. The original, whose pedigree could be inferred simply by reading Patrick Adams and Jimmy Simpsons names on the label, is a faultless dance floor cut featuring all the elements youd expectlavish horn and string arrangements, sparkling synthesizer accents, and plenty of hand-beat drummingalong with with Statons peerless voice. Johnny Ds mix starts carefully, the vocal refrain accented with auxiliary percussion until the rug is pulled out from under us, the ensuing chasm making the following thrust of the track that much more powerful. On the flip. Claussells take starts with reinforced four-on-the-floor, along with a studio count-in, perhaps alluding back to his previous It Seems To Hang On edit. As the track establishes itself, ample room is afforded for interplay between bass and guitar, with all the interlacing elements aggrandizing the mood with careful shots of delay and expertly-timed pivots in atmosphere. Both sides are proof of what shouldnt need evidence: two masters of their craft assembling two wholly new mixes that far surpass the banal copy and paste, add and subtract methodology slung by the less blessed. Pressed on white vinyl, with a custom jacket to boot
