Feel my Bicep

Have been holding these for a while, but thought it would be fitting to post them on remembrance day.  There was no official 12″ release but the song found it’s way onto many important dj playlists especially those who embraced the sleaze, morning music genre such as Larry Levan, Lary Sanders. Here are some remasters straight from the Bootlegs.

Also here is a fantastic Larry Levan mix from 1985, notice the diverse playlist and the unique cutting of tracks a rare feat these days through djs who merely beat-match and rarly experiment on vinyl without ’stabilisers’ like serato or traktor.

One of the first dance releases to incorporate a dub influence and an appended vocal-only edit, when it was finally released, much of the song’s momentum had been lost and it stalled in the lower reaches of the charts.
