{"product_id":"hangin-on-a-string-frankie-knuckles-remix","title":"Hangin’ On A String (Frankie Knuckles Remix)","description":"\u003cp\u003eTake a much-loved UK soul gem, Loose Ends classic from ‘85 \u003ci\u003eHangin’ On A String\u003c\/i\u003e and hand it to the godfather of house, Frankie Knuckles to work his unquestionable magic and there was no doubt the result would be a slice of house music heaven. South Street Records unlock the vaults once again, reissuing this melding of transatlantic minds presenting a triple threat that sees both Frankie’s 1992 Club Mix and the elusive Classic Club Reprise sit alongside the Loose Ends Original 12 Inch Mix, on either side of a 12 inch.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003eTaking the best of London’s soul and coupling it with the heart of Chicago, the master Frankie Knuckles purrs this one out across the highways with a slung-back house interpretation of \u003ci\u003eHangin’ On A String\u003c\/i\u003e. A bumping beat, punchy bass line and effortless percussive touches give the perfect platform for Loose End’s vocal dynamics to provide a power, emotion and sincerity often lacking in modern dance music.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003eFlip it over to find the Classic Club Reprise - straight up sunset business with Frankie side-lining the vocals to let the instrumentation sing with added trademark flourishes in true spiritual style. Finally, the Original 12 Inch Mix gets a well-deserved inclusion which, back in 1985 was a true game changer bridging a multiplicity of scenes in the UK with its use of drum machines and synthesizers whilst maintaining that pure soul vibe. A track that topped the US Billboard R\u0026amp;B chart, making Loose Ends the first ever British band to do so, it’s a UK soul classic drenched in drum machine hits, soaring synths and crunchy guitar licks that’s infused with an ‘80s electro style and a quintessentially London flavour.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"South Street","offers":[{"title":"Black | 12\"","offer_id":50452920435019,"sku":"1110853","price":10.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0867\/1120\/6219\/files\/28503b43-18b3-4b70-beb7-9c3642717d5f_thumbnail_4096.jpg?v=1727166387","url":"https:\/\/shop.roughtrade.com\/products\/hangin-on-a-string-frankie-knuckles-remix","provider":"Rough Trade","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
