Loleatta Holloway -Hit & Run Remix: Joe Claussell / Walter Gibbons (Misc US) 12″ PRE-ORDER

PRE-ORDER FOR LATE JUNE

Joaquin Joe Claussell’s vision for ‘Hit and Run’ sets a new standard on an equally unimagined horizon line. The prior lead guitar is now exchanged for a clean, chopped chucking, and Halloway’s impassioned vocals are given frequent, spacious vistas for added prominence. The horns presage a re-focus on shifting rhythmic emphasis, and by the time the aforementioned familiar fuzz guitars are welcomed back into the fold, the coalescing orchestra has been sustained and revitalized in a complete surrender to time and pulse. As Holloway’s vocals are eventually removed from direct semantics and pulled into other modes of expression, the track’s foundation is given a final rinse and farewell, and were left with the proceeding disembodied aftermath evaporating in delay. This is an iteration every bit inspired and fresh as Gibbons’ landmark, a showcase of two genre-defining artists whose singular inspiration is shaped by the contrasting exchange of the intimate and the public, the communal potential of the dance floor and the soul in the booth making it move.
