The second release on new London imprint Mixed Blood is the debut from female disc jockey Flic. ‘You Are The Most Important Lady’ is a laid-back disco number that evokes the mid eighties NY sound by combining organic house beats to the smooth soulful croon of Polish male singer Zbyszek Dalkiewicz (115 BPM). Fresh from working for the Klein and Suicide (Eskimo) labels, Padded Cell aka Rich Sen & Neil Beatnik dub it out and end up with the flavour of an old-school classic (Mr Fingers produced in Antwerp by Mark Kamins?). On a similar electro-soul tip, with heavy electric guitar and gated choir, Ray Mang gives a driving make-over (121) to Tantra’s ‘A Place Called Tarot’ – a ‘Rapture’ spin-off (Blondie) which was only recently re-edited by the Idjut Boys on Tirk records.
