CLINTON / Q BURNS ABSTRACT MESSAGE
Another remix from the People Power In The Disco Hour promo by Clinton from 2000. On remix duty our old friend Q Burns Abstract Message. Last time, The Wiseguys turned the weedy original into digital lounge funk (here). This time, QBAM takes a curious course. A sort of Drifters-style disco turn. Think big lapels, flares, and slightly elderly gentlemen all in a row spinning carefully on their heel whilst attempting a handclap.

Thanks for posting this. A funny story on this mix: After sending a first draft version to the label I mixed down (in my mind) a much superior version (for one thing, it had a less flammy kick drum, as well as a couple of additional musical elements). Sent that to the label as a replacement, and they were thrilled. But, of course, when the single came out they used the wrong version – the previous one, which is heard here. Alas. I’ll try to dig up the better version located somewhere in a box of DAT tapes on my studio shelf … if I find it I’ll forward it on to the blog.
Thanks for the back story. The drums were ahem … ‘thin’. Be great to hear the intended version.
[…] we had a remix by QBAM yesterday, it seemed only right to have a remix of QBAM today. But for anyone who hasn’t seen, QBAM […]
