All of a sudden there’s a rush to get The Wideboys on the remix (also see KJ’s Shakin’ That) and these old heads know how to turn the original of ‘Strobelight’ into a club dancefloor smash of synthy electro beats. There’s a dub version knocking about that’s suits the house/break sensibilites in us but don’t rule out the high speed Agent X. They have an equally impressive remix track record on the UK Garage field of play and their remix is well up to thier high standards.

Apparently singer Luigi was born in Brazil to an Italian father with a Danish mother and raised in London. Whether that has anything to do with his musical influences its hard to tell but there’s a heavy “pop” sound to the original version. Luigi has been on tour with various pop deity of late so the debut album, Save His Shoes is eagerly anticipated and will be released early next year.

Perhaps the most ear-catching mix here is the Samson verson. He’s another with a background in House/Garage and he got in Sabrina Washington (ex-Mis-Teeq) and Ultra (aka Justin) guesting on additional vocals on the downtempo R&B swing thing.

The more you hear this, the more you love it; be warned!
