Sleazy McQueen's disco edits, often popping up on the superb Whiskey Disco imprint, aren't just your run-of-the-mill edits (a sprinkling of hollow percussion here, a faint kick drum there...). No, the difference is they're unique, inventive and a lot of fun.
Sleazy McQueen whacks a whopping great big beat, chugging and old school, on top of the poppy diva vocal:
The Cover Girls - Wishing On A Star (Sleazy McQueen Extended edit) [pelski highly recommends]{HQ wav file}
A repetition of hefty bassed-out beats rain down on this edit. The whole thing picks up steam three minutes in, morphing into a medley of disco strings, tinkling percussion and slamming beats. Funky, peak-time stuff:
Martin Circus - Disco Circus (Sleazy McQueen Edit) [pelski highly recommends] {192kbps}
Serious caribbean flavours on this SisterNancy track; the edit doesn't diverge too much, opting for subtle tweaks of the original's clattering beats and reggae melody:
Sister Nancy - Bam Bam (Sleazy McQueen Edit){HQ wav file}
Next up is the 1976 classic 'Space Talk' by Asha Puthli. McQueen replaces the airy footwork of the original with a punchier beat and even funkier bassline:
Asha Puthli - Space Talk (Sleazy McQueen Edit)
