I picked up the Chromeo 12" x 2 DJ Kicks comp back in December for 10 euros in Tower. I'd wanted it mainly for this stone cold killer by Carmen, but was chuffed to find plenty of other great stuff on it too. Some serious bassline action in this 1985 hit by Val Young. Val Young - Seduction Val started out as a background singer in the '70s for people like George Clinton, Roy Ayers & [...]

По словам Эрола Алкана , в этом чарте содержаться два хита ближайших фестивалей - Wolfmother - New Moon Rising (Riton Club Rub) и Yeah Yeah Yeahs - Heads Will Roll (A-Trak Remix) . Если первый и вправду забавен и только, то ремикс на Yeah Yeah Yeahs - открытие месяца и намек на ревайвал электроклеша. Этакий Rex The Dog + Olive - You're Not Alone в ню-поп оболочке. A-Trak - Octahedral October Top 10: 1. Yeah Yeah Yeahs - Heads Will Roll (A-Trak Remix) 2. [...]

'If You Should Ever Be Lonely' was a hit for Val Young in the mid eighties and like previous SuperHeroes alumni Alfie Silas, she was primarily known for her backing singing. She was promoted by Rick James who sold her as the 'Black Marylin Monroe' during her short lived solo career, he also twiddled the nobs on her debut album. This is an excellent tune however with a powerhouse vocal, some superb sequenced synths and a terrifically 80's rock guitar turn. Val Young - If You Should Ever Get Lonely (1985) [...]
