Review: Having previously mined the worlds of disco, boogie and funk for inspiration, Smooth Operators sees the We Mean Disco crew change tack. Instead of their usual, party-friendly fare, we get a quartet of Sade revisions, with some of the sultry singer's finest moments getting the rework treatment. So, Mr Matrix delivers an undulating, super-smooth deep house version of "Couldn't Love You More" (complete with thrilling analogue bass), KidPariz turns "Hang Onto Your Love" into a loopy, mostly instrumental chugger, and We Mean Disco give "Paradise" the sweet, lo-slung, midtempo disco-house treatment. Best of all, though, is Dan K's chunky, sax-laden rework of the anthem-like "Smooth Operator"; a sing-along deep house classic in the making.
