Pamala Stanley - The Bank Of Love

Although she is best known for the hi nrg club classic "Coming Out Of Hiding", she has recorded in a wide variety of styles throughout her career. She is back with a new club track called "The Bank Of Love." Co-written by Andy Kahn, the lyrics are really quite good. They are a clever play on banking terms within the context of love and relationships. The main version is co-produced by Zathan Radix. His mix is funky house-oriented with a gritty electro bassline. Pamala delivers a top notch, fiery vocal performance. This is the perfect song for Pamala's return to the club scene.

Karen Young - Rendezvous With Me

She was known for her fiery, energetic vocal performances during the Disco era. She is best remembered for "Hot Shot" which originally came out in 1978. "Hot Shot" was re-released with new mixes in 2007, nearly 10 years after another update.

"Rendezvous With Me" was originally meant to be a followup to "Hot Shot", but it never saw a release and remained unreleased up until now. A fresh new production has been constructed and that is the MaxRoxx mix. It's Funky/Disco House at its best. The pianos and horns really work well. Zathan Radix's mixes are a bit harder. His have a really fun strings loop which does call to mind Moto Blanco's work. Paul Goodyear's mixes are even harder and darker. These are more circuit oriented. The core sounds resemble the original.

All versions utilize the vocals extremely well. Karen's vocal performance is really great. The vocals sound like they were recorded very recently. And the remix package is great as well. A little something for everyone.
