A beautiful vocal (Ce Ce Rogers' Someday, 1987) paired with what was already a fun and super timely disco track (Cloud One's Happy Music, 1978). Instead of just using the sample in Happy Music on its own, Duke went through the trouble of mimicking the original's sliding synth and making his own beautiful progression that runs almost the entire length of the track, and shows great respect for its source material.

It's a perfectly serviceable house track at the start, it's got that classic little bongo pattern backing it, the keys are pleasant, the bass is well-mixed, whatever. You've already heard every instrument in the track by the time the breakdown has kicked in. But something funny happens in the drop that elevates the track. It's like my favourite house track ever for this ONE THING: the vocal refrain, "don't stop, you're moving me" is slightly rearranged. And that's all it takes! My life clicks into place and I start violently jumping around.
Damien and Olivier Sellier made the original track as United Friends of Funk, and Damien made the remix as Hyde Park Corner for VOX records, which was a side-label to the Vertigo dance music label. VOX is full of nice house tracks, and I highly recommend Damien's other records for the label under the pseudonym "Damiao Da Silva" for his two "Brazilian Studizel" releases.
The Selliers would then go on to form the label Dynamic Recordings a few years later, which is also worth checking out.

Nothing hits quite like a great bootleg, or a vindictive lawsuit from Donna Summer's estate, so keep things hush hush. This is the first (and a personal favourite) Dem Bones record, a label focused on disco remixes from the UK. Antony Daly, the co-producer, left a comment o the making of the track on Discogs, and now runs the 586 records shop in Gateshead, northeast England.
