Diagnosis Disco: Dr Packer Edits

Australia-based Dr Packer is, like Late Nite Tuff Guy, a master at modernising classic tracks for use on dancefloors in 2015.

The good doctor is also immensely productive, with scores of reworks on offer - many of which are commercially available.

Always adding some serious weight to the low end, Dr Packer's edits are quickly turning into an essential part of our playlists here at Love Come Down. Here's 3 of our favourites:

Dr. Packer 'Can't Figure Out'

This edit introduced me to the cracking original from Skipworth & Turner called 'Thinking About Your Love':

Dr Packer 'Magic In Your Eyes'

Another one that introduced me to a track I was completely unaware of, a lost classic from The Circle City Band: 'Magic':

Dr Packer 'Cranium'

An edit of one of Prince's dirtiest tracks - 'Head'. You can't go wrong:

Late Nite Tuff Guy

Late Nite Tuff Guy's edits are some of the best around. Always adding his trademark 'muscle' (i.e. BIG drums) to classic tracks, he never fails to provide more modern sounding, yet respectful versions of some of the biggest party tunes in history. 

It's been a genuine struggle to choose my favourite (the guy's prolific, there are 40+ edits on his soundcloud!), but I'm going to go with this... his slow burn take on the much edited all-time-disco-mega-hit 'I Want Your Love' from Chic:

People often ask me what my favourite dance tracks of all time are, and it's always a difficult question to answer, because most of the time it depends on how I am feeling on that particular day. More often than not, 'I Want Your Love' by CHIC is one that comes to mind. It was one of the very first 12" singles I bought (I was 14 years old). Now...I know this track has been remixed, remodelled, remade, and re-edited a hundred times. There are versions that I absolutely love, especially the Dimitri From Paris version from a couple of years ago, and of course the Moodymann version from the mid 90's. I initially wanted to just do Part 1, but every time I got to a certain point I just wanted to hear THAT whole riff! So, I ended up doing this. Hope you enjoy it, LNTG. 'Think Of U' will be part of my latest vinyl Tuff Cut #04 release scheduled for November 2013. ★ For more news and updates follow me on Twitter @LateNiteTuffGuy
