For two years the elusive medcab has been involved in bringing clubland some of the most innovative and enjoyable bootlegs including no fewer than three DJ Mag “Booty Calls”. Now medcab steps out of the shadows and into the limelight, to bring you another hot reworking of a lost classic, but raising the game with a full suit of name remixes and a full release on up-and-coming label Heavy Disco.

Having been established for less than a year, Heavy Disco is already building a solid reputation for delivering fine pedigree breaks and electro, a reputation that sees them short-listed
in the “Best Break-through Label 2005” category at this year’s Breakspoll Awards. Their first few releases won the support of many a-list DJs and received wide specialist and press acclaim, notably “Brain Machine/Deep Frequency” by Hexadecimal being catapulted straight
to the no.1 spot in the prestigious DJ Mag’s Beats n Breaks chart. With the new-year’s schedule set they’re primed for their next instalment.

Originally written and produced in 1982 by seminal New York electro act ESG, “Dance” has since been featured in the popular, nationwide ad-campaign for the Toyota “Verso” – the one featuring two female surfer dancers. Now replayed and remixed for a 2005 audience, it’s the kind of funky, quality breakbeat that is firing up revitalised dancefloors across the country – cool but with enough crossover appeal to ensure it joins the ranks of the genre’s growing list of chart/crossover successes so far enjoyed by the likes of The Freestylers and Adam Freeland.

‘Dance’ is the work of Hal Ritson (aka The Young Punx, Mohito & Just Hal) and Nathan Taylor (medcab presents…), with vocals from the talented Tiffany Gore. Hal Ritson is no stranger to dance music’s a-list with current mixes of Phunx Nouveaux ‘Whatever’ and Headstrong ‘Fuse- Move Your Body’ being supported on Radio 1 by Pete Tong. Judge Jules and Annie Nightingale have long since been advocates of his Young Punx sound whilst A&R managers across the country reach for their cheque books to have him replay any uncleared samples. Recent work includes the No.1 smash “Call On Me” by Eric Prydz and The Lovefreekz “Shine”; another top-10 hit!

For the remix package, Mohito follow their recent club chart success of ‘Slip Away’, with
a re-rub that injects the original vocal with a dose of their signature jazz-house riffs and deep grooves, while rising French producers Muttonheads pick up the pace, adapting the vocals to compliment their smouldering unique electro-house style; serious big room business that
should see its reach extend beyond house DJs alone. Camden boys Move Ya! & Steve Lavers inject a serious dark funk edged breaks mix and last, but by no means least, The Young Punx, renowned for bridging the ever decreasing gap between house and breaks, deliver a huge bass-driven cut fit for any peak time floors that have the energy to handle it!

Also available: 7” & 12” versions loyal to the original 1982 ESG version.
