Shir Khan & Exploited dip their toes into the world of disco edits with the launch of new label Black Jukebox which sees contributions from label regulars Homework as well as introducing the Hamburg axis Doctor Dru & Adana Twins into the fold. It’s the latter that open proceedings with the two A Side bumps, proffering a nicely balanced tweak of Mtume’s “Juicy” which retains enough soul from the original whilst presenting it in a nicely recut fashion reminiscent of the great Tiger & Woods. Alongside it “Supreme” dips into housier territory with the primitive scratching and rising piano lines giving proceedings an 80s sensation soaked with twilight niceties. On the flip Homework do the near impossible, transforming Lenny Kravitz at his most indulgent into a glistening disco house number whilst “Love Ray” is perhaps the most straight up excursion into main room filtered disco house territory.
