Before we leave New Year behind, let's run back to a time when Whirlpool Productions could releasse 'Fly Hi' feturing jazz vocal legend Mel Tormé for disco house heads!
To follow on from the Right Temp Pro concept (with the Mingus Portrait Remixes - see review HERE but more pertantly Yellowtail with Mark Murphy - see review HERE), this release has a history back to the early 90s when it was originally released on 5th & Madison before being picked up by Logic Records in the UK.
Whirlpool Productions were a Cologne/Koln based music project that had a huge hit with 'Disco To Disco' (that was re-issued by Great Stuff Recordings and more recently, on a 10" as a Rockers Hi-Fi remix and we know more Biggabush related releases are planned after I met him a We Out Here Festival in the summer; also see HERE).
There's so much history here, I was even asked "is this Frank Sinatra?" which would be a long stretch but Mel's vocals are so clear and pure (even when he did his London shows in ) but I'd say it's more in the Mario Biondi 'his Is What You Are' envelope.
The only problem is it's not long enough, even with 2 remixes (a Zanzibar mix and a Morels Flying Underground remix) but that's may be why I can't get enough of it.
You're not going to go too far wrong with the other side of 'Gimme', again with 2 remixes (a Move D remix and a Gimme Shelter remix; the one with added squiggy synths)
In 12" and digital formats - see links below - and that's why you'll come running back to this one. .
Title: Fly Hi Mel Tormé / Gimme
Release date: 6th December, 2024
