The Nancy Whang Casablanca Reworks by Gomma

Gomma is proud to present a collection of fantastic Nancy Whang reworks of classic disco tracks that come in collaboration with a host of top modern day collaborators. The package also includes a new single with Drop Out Orchestra entitled "I Was Made For Loving You", a cover of the famous Kiss record.

Whang has provided her trademark vocals to tracks by Soulwax, The Juan MacLean, and Classixx before now, and after years as a vocalist and keyboard player in James Murphy's super band LCD Soundsystem is now a revered artist in her own right. Each of the originals here was released on Casablanca - the label that made Giorgio Moroder’s Munich Disco Sound a worldwide trademark - and now have new life breathed into them to make them big hitters once more in 2014.

First is a remake of Dennis Parker’s ‘Like An Eagle’ with AudioJack. It’s a dazzling, uplifting track with plenty of cosmic energy and soaring vocals before next comes ‘Working The Midnight Shift’ with Bonar Bradbury of PBR Streetgang. This one, originally by Donna Summer, is a blissed-out bomb with killer arps, tough basslines, and plenty of retro disco flair.

Then comes the Nancy and Etienne De Crecy version of "Comme Un Aigle", which is slowed to a seductive tempo, finds Nancy singing in French, and is hugely sexy as a result. Following that is the inclusion of the new single in Semi Skimmed mix form (the original is also included), which is a rework of a Kiss classic. "I Was Made For Loving You" is a broody bit of deep disco with Nancy’s killer vocal delivery front and center and classic strings, plucked guitar funk, and bold drums making for great listening all around.

Next is "Flashlight", originally by Parliament, which sees Nancy pair off with modern disco kingpin The Revenge. It’s a trippy track with super deep kicks, a patient build-up of tension, and lots of bubbling synths that come at you from below.

This is a sizzling disco package once again from Gomma - both the new single and the collected previous reworks are essential tunes as we hit the height of summer.
