The original was released in ’79 by Warner. Produced by Nicholas Ashford and Valerie Simpson, with renowned disco producer John Davis also contributing, this early-morning disco anthem—also known as a garage-loft classic—has been completely reconstructed from scratch using the original 48-track, 2-inch multitrack tape. Precisely because it stays true to the original, Joe Claussell’s editing prowess really shines through. Although the edit runs over 10 minutes, the track unfolds so quickly it feels like a blink of an eye—a must-have edit that’s guaranteed to keep you dancing until the very end. It’s a real treat to listen to. The B-side features the “Alternate Instrumental.” With its minimalist arrangement and restrained sound, it’s perfectly suited for the late-night dance floor. This version has reportedly been play-tested and refined on dance floors around the world for several years, proving its worth in actual club settings!
