AC Soul Symphony - Something New & Remixed inc. Glenn Underground & Art Of Tones [Z Records]

Dave Lee's Z Records has always connected the dots between the finest disco past, present and future, and this latest 12" is another sublime gem. This EP opens with a brand new cut, 'Soul Underground', which takes a train journey to some of the disco era's most famous clubs, over a warm, string-laden backing track and with a vibrant beat. Art Of Tones' mix of 'I Want To See You Dance' is a funkier affair with hip-swinging claps and layers of energy. Things mellow out with 'Windy City Theme' (Glenn Underground's Orchestra Electronica mix), an irresistible, cosmic remix of one of the Metamorphosis album's most popular cuts. Add in the lush orchestral reprise and handy acappella, and you have an EP full of joy to enjoy.
