DR PACKER Schallplatten & CDs

Review: So far in his career, Dr Packer has mostly delivered remixes and re-edits, breathing new life into disco classics old and new. Here he tries something new, namely covering Candi Staton’s ‘You’ve Got The Love’ – a track that famously became a hit via a bootleg remix that added her vocals to a house track based on Frankie Knuckles’ ‘Your Love’. Packer’s version is an organic-sounding disco treat – all rubbery bass guitar, cut-glass strings and rolling drums – that sneakily replicates the breakdown from a classic electrofunk number midway through. The Aussie producer also delivers instrumental and acapella versions, while rising star St Croix re-imagines it as a rushing, bouncy, mid-90s style piano house anthem. A summer hit and then some.
