V2 are going through the vaults of Fania Records, and selecting some classic cuts, for a series of 12‰ releases, leading to a compilation album. Dave Cortez With The Moon People are first up. The original mix of ‘Happy Soul With A Hook’ is a psychedelic soulful wig out, with plenty of Hammond, brass stabs & freaky guitar, all grooving on a break to die for. On the flip you’ll find ‘Hippy Skippy Moon Strut’ which ditches the Hammond for some first rate piano. Brighton’s DJ Format supplies a re-edit and makes the most of the break, whilst Blue Dollar Bill go for a full on remix, adding their own block rocking beats and synths. If you ain’t it already got the original, you need this.
