One of the most famous samples in dance music was taken from Carrie Lucas’ 1979 hit “Dance With You” when Armand Van Helden sampled a musical loop in his mega hit “You Don’t Know Me”.
Sgt Slick being the disco crate digging genius that he is, went back to the Carrie Lucas classic and delivered us this cover version, now with fresh vocals from Karina Chavez.
On the original mix Slick uses the hook string line that was sampled by Armand to great effect, building the new version around that hook and dropping in and out of the original disco moments in between. Huge energy in the production, those familiar strings and a cracking vocal from Karina are expertly mashed together resulting in an even more catchy version of the original classic.
Remixing duties see mysterious disco and edit duo JARC take their more underground approach, totally flipping the vibe and delivering a remix that is all about the original disco parts and with just a brief tease of the now very well-known string sample.
Two cracking versions and another super release from Sgt Slick
