Was it really as far back as 1982 that INNER LIFE featuring a certain JOCELYN BROWN unleashed their anthemic dancer ‘I Like It Like That’. Written, produced and arranged by Stan Lucas it was one of Salsoul’s very best.
Thus, we’re delighted to tell you that this iconic tune is back amidst us in a brand new but respectful mix from UK premier Disco House producer, MICHAEL GRAY. You may know that our Mike is London-based and was one half of Ful Intention. His impressive CV includes his lovely 2004 ‘Weekend’ while in recent years he’s enjoyed a string of chart-topping, floor-filling productions and remixes and don’t ignore his ab fab ‘Optimism’ album from earlier this year.
Mr G’s tweak of this Inner Life classic follows his remix of Raw Silk’s ‘Do It To The Music’ earlier this year and as on that one, here he doesn’t take liberties. He adds a certain punch and sleekness while retaining the song’s original flavour. It’s all there – the burbling bass line, the clever piano riffs and the bonkers bongos! And, wise man, Michael keeps Jocelyn’s spine-tingling vocals right up in the mix. And the timing of this release couldn’t be more perfect; the Christmas party season beckons and this is just a tad better than Slade!!!
‘I Like It Like That’ (Michael Gray Remix) will be released on all download and streaming platforms on November 29th 2024 on Fool’s Paradise.
