Don’t Make Me Fall In Love – Timmy Regisford Mixes

* “[…] it was dance music, it had lyrics, it had songs, it wasn’t all instrumental, it was basically uptempo soul music, to be exact.”* This quote from Timmy Regisford already sums up everything you need to know about his remix of Basic Black’s “Don’t Make Me Fall In Love.” Signed to Motown during Regisford’s reign as vice president and A&R, their self-Ztled debut album from 1990 is a testament to the massive popularity of new jack swing at the Zme. In his remix, the co-founder, resident DJ, and key figure of Club Shelter reconfigures the song’s structure with the signature sounds of New York’s prime dance floor scene, while preserving the hearwelt storytelling of the lyrics and the group’s voices on top of an irresisZble groove and a bassline to die for. At the Zme, it was only available in the record crates of the Big Apple’s DJ elite and later on as a white label in specialist shops. This soulful, yet driving piece, however, never saw an official single release—unZl now.
