It's time to get down to some purifying house, dirty disco and phatt funk with the fall edition of the Funky House Sessions, also better known as funkydiscohouseshit.
I kick things off with a couple of straight-up house tunes, both remakes. The first should be very familiar to every Pet Shops Boys fan as Sterling Void takes on It's All Aright and delivers a straight rendition of the original with Eric Kupper at the boards providing a smooth remix. This version is so faithful to the original, it almost makes me wish the PSB vocals were used since I keep thinking of the original every time I hear this. That's not to take away from this rendition but it is a testament to how deeply ingrained Neil Tennant's vocals are to the original classic.
This is followed by Chocolate Dice's I'm An Addict, which uses select portions of Toto's 1979 hit Georgie Porgie. This is actually a smart take of the original even if we don't get the fabulous Cheryl Lynn performing vocal chores on the chorus. I had to go back and listen to the original and realized just how much I really enjoy this song.
Lee Walker & DJ Deeon's massive hit Freak Like Me get's an 80's disco remake proving how versatile this song is. It just works.
We quickly move into some 70's style funk with Bad Boy Bill & J Paul Getto on Do Your Thing before launching into DJ Meme's self-described remix of "epic proportions" of Donna Summer's MacArthur Park. This put's the recent Rosabel version to shame as Meme really drives this one home proving his long-lasting devotion to all things disco.
I followed this with a last minute entry by Richard Burton's remake of another 70's classic Bad Luck. DJ Spen's dirty garage house version is so good that there was no way I could leave this song out for a future set.
