Madonna – Into the Groove (Maxis Maximus Remix)
Madonna’s Into the Groove, remixed in the 2020s, but using original Stems.

Eddy and the Soul Band – Theme from Shaft (Boss Extended Version)
One of the reasons that the “Theme from Shaft” has endured as a classic piece of music is its ability to capture the essence of the era in which it was created. The 1970s was a time of great social and cultural change in the United States, marked by the Civil Rights movement, the Vietnam War, and the rise of funk and soul music.
Sly Fox – Let’s Go All The Way (Multimix), featuring Queen and Boogie Boys
A true Mastermix Masterclass by Les “Mastermix” Adams.
Level 42 – Something About You (Shep Pettibone Remix)
Level 42 were starting to be well known (The Sun Goes Down was a particular favourite), Shep Pettibone was making his mark as a remixer of talent, and the production work of Wally Badarou made this an unmissable 12″ for me.

Let’s face it, if you’re here looking at this list with any passing interest this track needs no introducton really.

Ironically the “19” figure for the age of the soliders is now heavily disputed, but we won’t go there…

Amii Stewart – Knock on Wood/Ash 48 (1985 “New Remix”)
The particular mix I have chosen might be a bit controversial, but it was a definite floor filler in the 80s/90s when I was rocking the decks.
