I stumbled across Beaten Space Probe while listening to a mix on the weekend. I recognised the edit of 'Boogie Prancing', as Greg Wilson seemed to spin it in every mix he did for the last 6 months, (I'm not complaining...) but I had no idea who was behind it.
Luckily, a click here & a click there & I found him on Soundcloud. I am now seriously hooked on this absolute gem - Ray Parker Jr. & Raydio - It's Time To Party Now (Beaten Space Probe Re-Edit). (Original released in 1980)
Beaten Space Probe is Shota Tanaka from Tokyo. An avid crate digger who, whilst holding down not only a 9-5 office job, also has four, yes FOUR residencies throughout the city. DUDE!!
Sometimes I can find re-edits a bit... well... drawn out. However, Shota manages to keep the original integrity of this song while also adding his special touch. The respect he has for the original is clear to hear on this re-edit. It is utter joy.
This will be the first in a few Beaten Space Probe posts. When you hear this, you'll know why.
Run! Don't walk... over to Soundcloud & get this free download while it lasts.
Enjoy...
