Gerd Janson and Sgt Slick put their groovy spin on the Tommie Sunshine and Disco Fries’ “Don’t Look Back” to celebrate its 10th anniversary.
In 2011, Tommie Sunshine and Disco Fries joined forces on their hit single “Don’t Look Back.” Now, a decade after its release, Sgt Slick and Gerd Janson breathe new life into the original hit with groovy disco flare in the brand new remix pack out now on Vicious Recordings.
Kicking off the pack is Gerd Janson’s new-school take on classic club sounds with a modern edge. A melodic dreamy vocal mix sits is accented by classic synths and percussion shuffling under the vocodered title line. Sgt Slick’s aptly titled “Discotizer” remix is groovy and fun at the jump. With disco strings and funky bass line, his house-meets-disco take will have you dancing.
I always loved playing the original of this when it came out, and especially loved that vocal filter trick that comes after the chorus so I knew I had to keep that in my remix. I always thought the vocal delivery was really soulful and smooth, so I built up a super disco backing with a big string hook and basically treated it like a sample, filtering it in and out and playing it off the vocal hooks.
