Fool’s Paradise Records keep banging out the big tunes! Their latest offering features two of Australia’s hottest names on the Disco House circuit, DR PACKER & ELEKTRIK DISKO.
The good doctor is DJ Greg Packer – an Aussie with 35 years experience under his belt and he’s worked with iconic labels like Z Records, Disco Dat, Salsoul Records, Midnight Riot, Defected, Big Love, Glitterbox, Soulfuric, CR2 and many more. He’s remixed tracks by people like Bootsy Collins , Jocelyn Brown, Chaka Khan, Freeez, Colonel Abrams, Dave Lee, Robert Owens, Carl Cox, Purple Disco Machine and loads more. Elektrik Disko is another antipodean vet – Jolyon Petch – who’s remixes include collaborations with Siedah Garrett, Junior Jack, Kid Crème, Claudja Barry, and Robin.
Which brings us to their new collaboration – a joyous, soulful, mover ‘My Lovin’ which owes just a little to Evelyn ‘Champagne’ King’s 1981 soul classic, ‘If You Want My Lovin’. The dynamic duo, though, deliver a totally contemporary vibe., The femme vocal is feisty and convincing (and on my copy, at least) sadly uncredited.
‘My Lovin’ will be released on March 22nd 2024 on Fool’s Paradise.
