VOLUME 9 · PROGRAM 2
"I Can't Turn Around" by J.M. Silk, gets jamin' with a Disconet House Mix. Annie Lennox tells Steven Von Blau, I will "Take Your Pain Away".
Roaring in from the Chicago club house scene is "I Can't Turn Around" by J.M. Silk, on RCA Records. Isaac Hayes wrote, Steve "Silk" Hurley and Larry Strum produced, and Hurley and Keith Nunnally mixed this power house tune. Steven Von Blau gave us a windy city edit to create a storm on your floor.
Next is "Take Your Pain Away", a soothing cut from the Eurythmics RCA Records Album "Revenge". Annie Lennox's vocals on this tune are as striking and sultry as ever. "Take Your Pain Away" was written by Lennox & Stewart, and was produced by Stewart. The special Disconet version has a new intro, an exciting break and surprises along the way to really excite your crowd.
Special thanks to Wendy Goldstein at RCA Records NYC.

"Brand New Lover" is their new Epic Records 12", from the forth coming album "Mad, Bad And Dangerous". "Brand New Lover" was written by Dead Or Alive, produced by Stock, Aitken and Waterman, and mixed by our friend Phil Harding.
Taking advantage of all three mixes on the Domestic Epic Records 12", Chuck Parsons and Steven Von Blau have created a brand new non-stop mix. This is Chucks' second appearance on Disconet. He first appeared with his classic edit of M+M's "Black Stations/White Stations" (Vol.6 #13). Chuck still plays at The Hippopotamus in Baltimore, and is a favorite regular at The Saint here in New York.

Double Dee pulls double G forces with James Brown's "Gravity". Nicole goes floor to floor with "House Calls".
James Brown is back, is hot, and sounds better then ever. "Gravity" is the title cut & current 12" from his new Scotti Brothers/CBS Records album. Double Dee, the underground professor of edits, has uniquely combined all four mixes from the "Gravity" 12" and with hot punches from "Living In America", Brown's knock out hit from the Rocky IV soundtrack, for this exclusive Disconet mix. Both songs were written by Dan Hartman and Charlie Midnight, with Dan Hartman producing. Adding to the pull of these hits is Alison Moyet on "Gravity", and Stevie Ray Vaughan's hard punching lead guitar on "Living In America".
May the force of "Gravity" be with your floor!!!
Next is "Housecalls" by Nicole, her new 12" from her Portrait Records album "What About Me". Her last single, "Don't You Want My Love?", is still a top of the chart hit, and "Housecalls" is now making its way from floor to floor, and station to station. "Housecalls" was written by M. Holding, R. Nevil, and D. Pain, and was produced by Lou Pace. This cut was originally mixed by John Morales and Sergio Munzibai. With this special edit by Steven, Nicole will be making many "Housecalls" on your dance floor.
