The Trammps - Disco Inferno (Barry & Gibbs Club Edit)

I almost fell out of my bed as I opened my phone and found that disco providing duo Barry & Gibbs had just released an edit of The Trammps' 1976 classic "Disco Inferno." Last year their edit of Michael Jackson's "Working Day & Night" broke into the 19th spot in my top 100 tracks of the year countdown (see here), however until March's original "Dancing To A Love Song," we hadn't heard anything new from them. This return welcomes another extended and warm groove dance session that is sure to showcase the smoothest of boogie bumps and disco jumps. The mixing is masterful, easy to enjoy, and only amplifies the already red hot sweeps of the original. If like me you're always in the market for new disco edits, look no further than this impassioned injection and download "Disco Inferno" free here.FOLLOW BARRY & GIBBS: FACEBOOK SOUNDCLOUD TWITTER

Michael Jackson - Working Day & Night (Barry & Gibbs Edit)

Over the last month or so I've been digging back through some classic disco edits, and I feel like its almost spoiled me for the darker side of music. I find I'm constantly craving the dope of disco grooves and funky fat beats. So it should come as no surprise that this edit from Barry & Gibbs really got me going. Of course whenever you're working with the King of Pop you've got a great foundation, and boy did Barry & Gibbs take advantage of that.

"Working Day & Night" is already a strong start, growing out of Jackson's budding friendship with Quincy Jones. But it's the drawn out, dance all day and night, groove that makes this such a sublime edit. Barry & Gibbs get down and dirty filling up the funk quota almost immediately, then proceed to bring in all the elements that made the original so satisfying. Heavenly horns, fluttering guitar riffs, and the kind of percussion that calls for clapping along, this edit brings it all together and packages it perfectly around the King. Even their use of Michael's unique vocal style succeeds in every way, as though this were as it was originally intended. I know that may be seen as blasphemous, comparing it to the original, but damn, I can't say enough about how well this edit has been constructed. Play it on repeat so you too can work all day and night, and grab the free download from hypeddit, here. FOLLOW BARRY & GIBBS: FACEBOOK SOUNDCLOUD TWITTER
