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.

L.T.D. - Love To The World (Joey Negro Mizell Magic Mix)

Before there was PLUR, even before TLC, there was L.T.D. The Greensboro group of Love, Togetherness, and Devotion scored 3 R&B chart toppers in the 70s, headlined by their most widely popular funk number "(Every Time I Turn Around) Back In Love Again." Sandwiched between that and their breakout hit "Love Ballad," was the title track of their 3rd album Love To The World.

An intergalactic groove number, lead by Jeffrey Osbourne and L.T.D.'s slick strings and hot horn section, it thrives through its anthemic, all encompassing love. That said, this mix by Joey Negro doubles down on that adoring disco atmosphere, smoothing over all imperfections in the original's groove. Negro's knack for percussion leads the luxurious and effortless reconstitution that is this disco edit. Supremely smooth in its delivery and equally so its aura, "Love To The World" paints the picture of all of god's creatures playing in harmony as you watch from above on a golden cloud. Beyond bliss, it is a disco dreamland.
