![Sylvester - Dance (Disco Heat) (Louie Vega Remixes) - 12-INCH SINGLE [12 inch Vinyl Single]](https://pisces.bbystatic.com/image2/BestBuy_US/images/products/d9821797-d7b9-4205-83d0-31c2d42f12e4.jpg;maxHeight=422;maxWidth=264?format=webp)
Grammy Award-winning producer & 5-time Grammy-nominated DJ/producer Louie Vega continues to send dance floors into a peak hour frenzy with his remixes of disco classics on Nervous Records. The inspiration to delve into masters from this era began when he started remixing masters from the SAM Records catalog, which is owned by Nervous Records, and with whom Louie has a long history going back to Nervous' early 90's origins. Louie is that unique producer who has had success in multiple genres of music including House, R&B, & Freestyle and he has brought that talent to help re-ignite New York disco classics like Vicky D's 'This Beat Is Mine' and Convertion's 'Let's Do It' featuring Leroy Burgess, as well as charting topping disco hits from John Davis & The Monster Orchestra 'Bourgie Bourgie' & 'Up Jumped The Devil'. This time, Louie put his focus on a track outside of the SAM Records catalog, and one that was an international disco hit that also crossed over to becoming a 1978 pop hit, namely Sylvester's 'Dance (Disco Heat)'. Using elements from the 1978 version and combining them with his own original musical and percussion contributions, along with new vocal performances from renowned singer Cindy Mizelle, Louie refashioned and reignited this classic production into a modern club anthem. Originally released in 2018, now repressed on black vinyl for 2025.Tracklisting A1. Sylvester - Dance (Disco Heat) (Louie Vega Retouch) (12 07)B1.
