Mr Thelonious - Don't It Drive You Crazy

A no-nonsense 7" from Galaxy Sound Co that strips classic disco-funk down to its most useful parts. The A-side edit of locks onto the Pointer Sisters' rolling rhythm section, tightening the drums into a punchy tool primed for blends and quick drops.

On the flip, Gene Chandler's 'In My Body's House' is reduced to its skeletal break, sitting comfortably across disco, boogie and hip hop-adjacent territory. A second, even leaner Pointer Sisters edit follows and is aimed squarely at loops, intros and sampling. Functional and effective edit form the master of this form.
