Undiscovered – Deetour (Undiscovered)

Released: 02/03/2009

One of the best disco re-edits I have hear so far. A group of bloggers from the UK and Japan have joined up and released four smoking edits – with one definitively standing out. The one is Karen Young’s classic “Deetour” produced by Walter Kahn at Queen Village Recording Studios in Philadelphia in the early 1980s. It is a classic, slightly cheesy boogie track with so much joy and excitement put in that you just can’t stop smiling and dancing.

Other tracks on the release include “Masimbabele” by The Unknown Cases – a slow 80s groover with an africanism vocal and some retro guitar riffs put in for for good measure. On the flip, “What’s that you’re doing” is a electric Prince’ish disco track that is more than playable, while “Spotlight” is a slow baleric disco delight straight out of a slow scene in Miami Vice.
