Patrice Rushen - Never Gonna Give You Up (Joey Negro Re-Grooved Mix)
A couple weeks ago we got a glimpse into the third edition of Joey Negro's Remixed With Love series through his take on L.T.D. "Love To The World." Today we were welcomed with another gorgeous groove in the form of a funky disco remix of Patrice Rushen's 1980 number "Never Gonna Give You Up." Another masterclass in maintaining the original's allure, while upping the oomph factor and thrusting it towards the modern dance-floor, Negro always makes note of the best riffs and hooks giving them increased exposure. The glitzy guitar lead, tempting toms, sublime string swells, buxom brass boosts and brilliant bass grooves all combine with Rushen's ravishing vocals to create a track that both feels brand new, but also utterly nostalgic and cool. And this is no simple bass boost or quantizing DJ-friendly edit, this is a musical masterpiece, letting the instruments lead their own lives, giving the whole track an undeniable soul.
