Description
Danny Krivit aka Mr K, that veteran of the Roxy and Paradise Garage, turns his attention to the 80s for his latest Mr K edits. ‘Pleasure Boys’ by Visage epitomised the new wave crossover sound when was released in 1982, and Krivit would bypass the vocal, using two copies to concentrate on and extend the thunderous synth bass break in his sets. Here he recreates the trick – a bare bones riff that still sounds enormous on a club system.
For the flip, Mr K goes a little deeper with his edit of ‘Emotional Disguise’ by Peter Godwin. Again ditching the overwrought new wave vocal in favour of the atmospheric synth stylings of the instrumental, which he recalls being a big tune with hip-hop crowds at the Garage and Roxy alike. A proper electro vibed body popper.
The tracks are pressed the wrong way round, so side A labelled Pleasure Boys plays Emotional Disguise and side B labelled Emotional Disguise plays Pleasure Boys.
Tracklist:
A – Visage – Pleasure Boys (Inst. Edit By Mr. K) (4:58)
B – Peter Godwin – Emotional Disguise (Inst. Edit By Mr. K) (5:23)
