Porl Young – (Heaven) – “I'm loving this,
this is right up my alley! All the house mixes are great but

the house mixes but I HAD to play the retro mix coz of the

is like a breath of fresh air, this is dreamy house. It’s

REVIEWS IN THE PRESS
Carl Loben in DJ mag
4.5 stars
"Allegedly featuring in a car ad (Toyota verso if
you must know), this ESG
track from about a quarter of a century ago has been superbly
updated for
today's floors by boot king Medcab and men-of-the-moment Move
Ya! & Steve
Lavers. Again using plenty of vocal from the all-black, all-girl
punk-funk
pioneers, Medcab hones in on the twangy bass guitar fro some
tasty
Chic-esque disco breakbeat funk. MY &SL, meanwhile, turn
in another breezy
electro-breaks party stormer. These guys sure know how to
funk it to us."
Kris Needs in Update
MEDCAB
DANCE
[HEAVY DISCO]
Since the Scroggins sisters first bust out of the South
Bronx in the early
80s with their intoxicating brew of urban funk, they've been
sampled to
death - often without financial reward. Finally, ESG look
like hitting
paydirt as 'Dance' from '82 springs out of the Toyota 'Verso'
ads. Here the
tune is faithfully covered by Young Punx' Hal Ritson and Nathan
Taylor with
new vocals by TiffanyGore. ESG worked so well and surprised
clubland because
they worked their sexy magic with only bass, percussion and
sultry
vocals.Therefore it's the original and Retromixes which work
best here as
they focus on that brilliant vocal melody. There are also
house and electro
treatments by Muttonheads,Young Punx, Mohito and MoveYa! &
Steve Lavers
[excellent].Ultimately, what a song! 5 dancin' men.
Music Week tastemaker tipster
"Originally written and produced
in 1982 by Black all girl New York Electro act ESG, "Dance"
has been featured recently in a Toyota ad-campaign...now
remixed and replayed in a more than respectful way for
a 2005 audience the likes of Mohito French producers Muttonheads,
Move Ya! & Steve Lavers and the ever so cheeky Young
Punx lend their talents to make a funk fuelled Breakbeat
stew that is the sound that is waking up dancefloors across
the country, following in the footsteps of The Freestylers
recent hit `Push Up`and with the help of the advert and the
history and funk of the original and choice of remixers
this track should go far and is definitely one to watch..."
