New Copy

Genre: Disco

1. Scandinavian Safari
2. The Messenger

Another duo of edits from Greg Wilson . 'Scandinavian Safari’ sees Greg cut up and overdub a track he used to play at his hometown club, New Brighton’s Golden Guinea, back in 1979 - Modern Sound Corporation’s ‘Safari’ - placing the emphasis on the superior instrumental ‘Pt 2’ version, which found favour in UK Jazz-Funk circles at the time, its unique combination of African and Caribbean flavours setting it apart as a dubbed-up percussion driven Disco hybrid. ‘The Messenger’ is Mr Wilson’s take on OMD’s 1980 hit, ‘Messages’ that was hugely popular with the weekend crowd at Wigan Pier, where he was resident 4 nights per week between 80-82 .
