Dublin based disco imprint Fatty Fatty Phonographics return with the 4th instalment of their Downtownsounds Classics series, this time throwing three stone-cold classics onto one 12, all given the re-edit treatment by in house producers Pablo and Shoey. Voiced by Leroy Burgess, with drums by hip hop legend Marley Marl and production by The Aleem Brothers, Release Yourself was a huge across-the-board anthem in the clubs of NYC on its release in 1984. The lads have superglued elements of both the vocal and dub sides together for an epic end of night take on this beloved classic. The B side features two under appreciated classics from the pen of one Billy Nichols, a man known for his work with West End Records (the Levan mixed Give Your Body Up To The Music ) and the funky band of brothers that was BT Express. On Take Me... Nichols hooked up with disco master Patrick Adams for an emotional, string drenched disco belter that has found favour with the likes of Dimitri from Paris, Floating Points and Hunee. While Dance If Off is a wonky proto Acid-Disco trip beloved of Rahaan and Eric Duncan of Rub n Tug. With copies going for over 300 euros, you can do your bank account and your dancefloor a favour here.
