{"product_id":"luke-una-mr-bongo-edits","title":"Luke Una - Mr Bongo Edits","description":"\u003cp\u003eA cosmic coming together that sees two of Luke's secret weapons, re-edited and  re-contextualised by the man himself to provide optimal dancefloor euphoria.     A stalwart of the underground for nearly 40 years, Luke has become an appointed  leader of the late night disenfranchised, with an unquestionable ability to pick  records that make minds tick. \"I've been an avid collector of afro-beat house, techno and underground  black heart disco since before the basement soul days of Electric Chair 30 years  ago. Both these bombs were very much holy grail finds, plucked from the last four  decades of digging in random crates of dusty vinyl all over the world.\" \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e    First up, Thandi Zulu and The Young Five's interpretation of Pure Energy's early '80s  disco power play - 'Love Game'. With a distinctive South African synth bass and  killer keys combo, Luke explains the original has this \"bonkers alchemy of heavy  machine soul, uptempo rawness and a majestic disco evangelism\", making it ripe  for a re-edit.     On the B side, Lionel Pillay's Jazz dancer 'Plum'. \"The original was a relentless 18-  minute raw jam\", Luke states, \"which despite its late '70s South African origin  kinda reminded me of a 1986 Chicago piano House record\".     \"These edits strip the tracks back and rebuild them, giving them more sonic  weight with that looped up drum jacking militancy from the days of Chicago,  combined with a boosted sense of transcendental, psychedelic, cosmic disco.  They have always had such an explosive reaction on so many dancefloors  including the heavier electronic club, so it felt only right to reshare them\".\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Mr Bongo","offers":[{"title":"Black 12\"","offer_id":50401412907339,"sku":"2178547","price":14.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0867\/1120\/6219\/files\/image002_a9a46aaf_thumbnail_4096.jpg?v=1726521999","url":"https:\/\/shop.roughtrade.com\/products\/luke-una-mr-bongo-edits","provider":"Rough Trade","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
