Review:
Tom Noble is slowly making a name for himself as one of the world's premier boogie and disco-funk revivalists - a man able to either breathe new life into long-forgotten gems or create his own bespoke tracks dripping with original '80s flavour. Here he pops up on Clone's Loft Series, reworking his own "Dancing Hard". The original's rubbery funk bassline, sharp New York synths and clipped guitars remain, alongside some great new elements such as twittering synth flutes (very Pal Joey/early '90s New York deep house). Fellow disco revivalist Al Kent delivers the other mix, a sweet, sprawling revision full of bright new elements and additional instrumentation. Gorgeous.
