Review: To coincide with Z Records' 30th birthday, boss man Dave Lee AKA Joey Negro has been sourcing new remixes of classic back catalogue cuts. Here he showcases the latest, which sees Tropical Disco label mainstay Moodena work his magic on the Sunburst Band's "Big Blow", a track first featured on the Lee-helmed combo's 1998 debut album. Moodena makes the most of the original track's low-down disco-funk feel, looping up the original groove, underpinning it with bouncy new house drums and making the most of Lee and company's brilliant instrumentation (think wah-wah guitar snippets, addictive horn blasts, rich electric piano keys and rubbery bass guitar). It's the kind of rolling, rock-solid revision that sounds like it will cause dancefloor devastation every time it's played.

Review: Unbelievably, this much-sampled classic will be 20 years old next year. No doubt there'll be more new mixes on the way then, but in the meantime there's this very serviceable refix from deep house men-of-the-moment Saison. The London duo wisely leave those very familiar sweeping, string-like pads and Ms Clifford's spoken vocal to retain centre stage and concentrate their efforts on the bottom end, supplying a bassline and tough-but-muted drums to make the track more easily programmable for a new generation of DJs...some of whom won't even have been born when it was first released, but let's not dwell on that!

Joey Negro presents Z Factor
Played by: Andreas Saag
Review: Here's a little digital bonus for long-time followers of Dave "multiple pseudonyms" Lee - a long-lost rework of 2002 Z Factor single "Sounds In The Air". The remix itself comes from Soul Purpose, a long-forgotten alternative moniker for Peace Division men Clive Henry and Justin Drake. It's a pretty tasty rework, too, coming on like a cross between skippy UK garage, bassy UK house and the sort of jaunty, funky club fodder that Lee is famous for. The original vocal is used sparingly, allowing the duo to make room for hip-shaking beats and some gargantuan sub-bass stabs. Like vintage funky house, only better.

Review: A solo release from his own Z Records label sees Joey Negro's "Feel It" get a commanding rework from Italian producer and DJ Alex Kenji. Wrapped around a rock solid groove made up of kicks, a chanking guitar part and a subtle acid bassline, this tight rhythm is layered with huge pads and brought up and down through some enormous filter builds and stacking drops. Funky house at its most thrilling, Kenji absolutely nails it.

Review: Foreal People is not an alias that Dave Lee AKA Joey Negro uses that often these days, but back in the late '90s he served up a string of singles under the pseudonym. Here one of those singles, 1999's GQ cover "Shake" featuring vocalist David Grant, is given the remix treat by contemporary disco and house hero Dr Packer. His opening "Re-Shake" has a groovier, looser and warmer vibe than Lee's '99 original, being closer to the sound and feel of GQ's 1982 track (albeit with a few choice contemporary touches and occasional dub style effects). Packer's instrumental revision is naturally even more delay laden, though it's more of a straight vocal-free take than a wild late night dub. Either way, it's rather good.

Review: A chilled Brazilian-tinged boogie cut from the recent Joey Negro epic entitled Produced With Love gets transformed into a piano fuelled, peaktime banger by Swedish jazz musician/producer Crackazat. He retains the Latino flavour of the original but 'adds bags of dance floor energy.' Dave Lee has been one of the most prolific producers in dance music over the last three decades and we would highly recommend the album to anyone who considers themselves a fan of proper house, disco or soul music. It features collaborations with such legends as Diane Charlemagne, Linda Clifford and Alex Mills. In addition to remixes of recent heroes of the scene such as Horse Meat Disco and Peven Everett.

Review: While Dave 'Joey Negro' Lee is a man of many talents, it would be fair to say that his speciality is creating impeccable blends of disco, boogie and soulful house. That's exactly what you get from "Must Be The Music (Original Disco Mix)", a brilliantly breezy and club-ready excursion full of slick female vocals, Nile Rodgers style guitars, undulating strings and colourful, boogie style synth flourishes. In some ways, it feels like a slightly more house-centric take on Lee's similarly minded work as part of the Sunburst Band. It's accompanied by a superb dub, where Lee's chosen musicians take it in turns to deliver killer synth and guitar solos over a chunkier, boogie-driven beat. In other words, it's another strong release from the Z Records founder.

Review: Dave Lee knows a thing or two about selecting remixers, and he seems to have got it right again here. It's soulful house veterans Mark Bamford and Richard Earnshaw who are the "chosen two" this time round, and they duly give Lee's Sunburst Band a thorough club makeover. Their version of "I'll Be There 4 U (Garden of Love)" does all the right things in all the right places, remaining true to the source material whilst adding a booming new bassline, UK garage style vocal cut-ups and Innervisions-ish rising and falling chords. Lee dons his Joey Negro guise to provide a solid Club Mix that sticks closer to the original's spiraling jazz-funk-meets-boogie vibe (check those synth solos).

Review: Z Records presents an essential remix of label boss Joey Negro's classic anthem "Must Be The Music", with Crazibiza bringing the track right up to date with a big room club version. Filled with rough, intensifying bass, the original's disco loops are filtered through a fuzz of bombastic electro house, driven along by a firm 4/4 stomp. Also includes a dub version for those with less vocal tendencies.

Review: Joey Negro's "Love Hangover", a brilliant disco-house cover of the Diana Ross classic of the same name, is the gift that keeps on giving. Here, the eight anniversary 2016 re-master is bundled with two brand new re-rubs by Micky More and Andy Tee. They begin with the "Classic Disco Blend" revision, which is notably looser and more orchestrated in tone than Joey Negro's disco-house original, with the duo allowing every instrument used to sparkle at some point in the mix a-la original Salsoul mixer Tom Moulton. In contrast, their "Groove Culture Blend" beefs up the bottom end and loops key sections for a heavier disco-house vibe.

Review: In recent years, Dave Lee seems to have been concentrating on remixes, compilations and side projects. As a result, "I Can Hear Your Body Rock" is, somewhat surprisingly, the first original Joey Negro single for two years. As you might expect, it's a deliciously summery affair that effortlessly joins the dots between piano house, early '90s US garage and '80s boogie. Lee concentrates on the latter on the alternative Serious Mix, which pleasingly sits somewhere between the delay-laden proto-house of Paul Simpson's Serious Intention project, and breezy early '90s house. For those who just want more pianos, Lee also obliges with the sumptuous "Pianohead Dub".

Review: An eight-minute slice of celebratory slinky funk, Do What You Feel originally appeared on this veteran DJs Universe Of Love album. Now it's back in remixed form to keep the party going nicely. This time there are three incarnations - JN Revival's deep and punchy vintage handbaggy vibes, Supernova's bassier stoned acid and the warm funky house joy of Steve Mill's rework.

Review: You probably couldn't find a more fitting remixer for Joey Negro's live disco/boogie combo, The Sunburst Band, than serial re-editor and self-proclaimed "revisionist" The Reflex. Here, he naturally does a stellar job with the parts to a pair of Sunburst Band classics, emphasizing the more traditional elements of the original tracks in his usual trademark style. So, he goes heavy on the cut-glass strings on his superb 'Revision' of the breezy disco-boogie anthem "The Secret Life Of Us", before delivering a slightly chunkier, groove-based "Vocodub" of the same track. Best of all, though, is the London-based Frenchman's version of "Caught In The Moment", which majestically stretches out the intro before turning the original into a sun-kissed, soft focus, soulful house classic.

Review: With a clash of titans such as disco-house-meister Joey Negro and awesome bear-disco London club Horse Meat Disco, a record like "Candidate For Love" was always going to be a top-notch belter, and well, it is! Three versions are supplied too, with euphoric pulse-bass disco and arpeggiated Giorgio Moroder style mixes from Negro himself and a gorgeously seductive slo-mo bump n grinder from the Horse Meat Disco crew.

Joey Negro presents Doug Willis
Review: Marking 20 years since its first release, Joey's beautiful One Way-sampling disco house joint gets another new lease of life thanks to Alex Kenji and Mr Willis himself. The former adds an alluring bump-bass jack (think Daft Punk's "Burnin'") while the latter just beefs the original up to contemporary production standards and ensures that crisp acid line is an equally strong feature as the lead sample. Also included is "Doug Biscuit", a more cosmic, dreamy house version of "Spread Love". Three first class takes on one of Joey's earliest releases. Spread the love today...

Joey Negro presents Azucar
Review: Mr Negro adds yet another party personality to add to the ever-growing list, and he's presenting it with the help of Freerange-faves Kyodai. Pumped with glittering pianos, strings and tight looping of the vocal, it's a surefire house hit that sounds just as timeless as it does forward thinking. For less vocal outlandishness head directly to the dub. And for more vocal outlandishness head directly to the acapella tool - hours of fun!

Played by: Ogris Debris
Review: A veritable Dave Lee classic from 2005, this sports one of the finest African chants ever to grace a house cut. Deep, driven but delightfully soulful and spirited, its timeless flavour has been reinvisioned Austrian duo Ogris Debris with a more left-centric message. With spiralling psychedelic meanders on the melody and an altogether trippier vibe, it complements the original without trying to outshine. For good measure Mr Negro himself has provided an edit of his original "Medusa" remix. And an acceplla. Hours of fun.

Review: Less than a month after Joey Negro dropped the original version of "Distorting Space Time" - a Lonnie Liston-Smith inspired chunk of intergalactic party disco rich in trippy instrumentation - as part of the vinyl-only Space Time EP, we're treated to a digital edition containing a trio of tasty reworks. Top of the pile is deep house don Ron Trent's sublime revision, which is not only typically warm, woozy and percussion rich, but also makes great use of dub delays and Joey Nergo's spacey FX. Elsewhere, Fouk successfully breaks up the beats on a formidably jazzy and bass-heavy interpretation, while Negro's own "Space Funk" take sits somewhere between luscious turn-of-the-80s jazz-funk and starlit electrofunk. The producer's use of crunchy Clavinet lines and talkbox scat vocals is particularly alluring.

Review: Z Records head honcho, Joey Negro, is back with a super sunny party jam, "Stomp Your Feet", of which the "Extended Mix" is a warm and bouncy retro boogie clap-fest. Negro also provides a spicier dub and the Tropical percussion loop-fest "Stomp Your Beats". However it's Hot Toddy's remixes here, a pulsating arpeggiated space-disco rework of the tile track and a fizzy and aquatic "Underwater Dub", that really stand out.

Review: Few British DJs have such an instinctive grasp of '90s house and garage as Dave 'Joey Negro' Lee - he was a major player on the scene during the period, of course - so it's little surprise that the Essex producer's recent tribute comp was rather special. This sampler contains five killer tracks from the compilation, including some genuinely hard-to-find gems. Kerri Chandler's frisky, sweaty, and oh-so percussive "Ladbroke Grove" is arguably one of the great man's lesser-known classics, while the FK Groove rework of Mood II Swing and Fonda Rae's "Living In Ecstasy" is a classic chunk of soulful US house that's well worth revisiting. USG's "Ncameau", meanwhile, still goes for silly money on vinyl, and sees Ron Trent effortlessly fuse deep and soulful house with the assistance of Peven Everett (on trumpet, bizarrely) and Anthony Nicholson. All killer, no filler.

Review: Joey and his Sunburst pals get the treatment from two well respected men in the form of Ross Couch and DJ Spinna. Spinna takes "Trust Me" back to the mid '80s with lavish analogue synths, 808s and an overall snake-like proto-house sound. Couch, meanwhile, takes "Only Time Will Tell" into a more upbeat pasture with Blaze style piano majesty. Making great use of the strings, both his original remix and equally thumping dub pump with a timeless house soul that could enliven the sleepiest crowd. Perfect.

Review: Joey's live band get geared up for the summer with a brand new single. It's been a while since we heard any brand new material - almost four years in fact - but, as with pretty much all of Dave Lee's projects, it's been worth the wait. With soothing harmonies, infectious percussion, a gutsy bass groove and lavish strings, it's an instant heart warmer with instant appeal. For those looking for a more stripped back groove, head directly to the Latin Escapade dub where you'll hear that slick, strolling bass in all its live glory. There's also an instrumental, reprise AND accapella on offer, meaning no DJ need is left out. Truly sun-splashed, let's hope it encourages some better weather...
