After yesterday’s covers post, and seeing one of my favourite house producers and remixers/re-editers name mentioned, I decided to dedicate a post to him once more. If there’s one guy who should be permitted to do reedits, it’s mr Todd Terje aka Tangoterje. Starting with his infamous “Can’t help it” re-edit featured on the last post down then with “Woman of the World” and now with 3 priceless reedits on his latest EP on Supreme Records, his choice of tracks are always perfect, and his subtle touches really let the songs shine in a different light to newer audiences.

On his new Diamonds Dub EP, The A-side is the Paul Simon classic “Diamonds on the Soles of her Shoes” dubbified with the percussions very upfront as the song takes a dance orientation, while on the other side is an extended dub of Curtis Mayfield “Give Me Your Love”, with wah guitars & strings and laidback percussion. But the song I chose is the last track, which is Astrud Gilberto’s “Black Magic”, with the unforgettable hook “You got me turnin’ you got me spinnin’ around“, the song has a great happy disco feeling now and if doesn’t move you what will?

The second tune is a remix of Isabela Antena’s 1983 Electro Samba classic Camino del Sol on Permanent Vacation (now isn’t permanent vacation the nicest label name?), which is an almost balearic chilly remix with shakers and reverbs, Mr. Terje chose to keep the lovely vocals and add some synths on top, while on the flipside Joakim has a no vocals dancefloor anthem with hard synth leads, which is a must for every DJ, but you’ve got to buy the record to check that out!
