‘Goodbye’… a new song that sounds like it has been locked away in the vaults of Casablanca Records since 1977. An unashamedly disco classic that wants to beat its path to the multi-coloured lit floors of Saturday Night Fever. In the days where Yvonne Elliman and Gloria Gaynor songs were belted out on at venues like Top Rank, Hi On Life transports you back to those heady times when Nile Rodgers ruled the dance floors. ‘Goodbye’ was written by Michael McGregor, a songwriter, musician and producer that has written a string of Top 10 Billboard dance tracks. 7th Heaven have produced the Mirrorball mix that epitomises the disco era and captures the seventies style of disco guitars and keyboard stabs whilst sounding like it has had a modern makeover that gives it a vibrancy to stack up against any current dance floor-filler. Shanghai Surprise (Erasure / Annie Lennox) have produced a mix with a relentless energy and a style all of its own. Bimbo Jones have produced a storming mix that uses a salsa beat complimenting Joniece’s voice to the max. Finally DJ Tekin who recently delivered an excellent mix on the Champion Classic ‘Feel what U want” by Kristine W, changes the tempo, uses a saucy bass and bongos intro before flooding the track with a Hammond organ and latin Jazz groove.
