NewsArther Baker presents Dance Masters: John Luongo
The third in the ongoing collection of legendary remixers
Arther Baker’s Dance Masters series continues in November, as the spotlight turns to another remix legend, one of the originators of the form, John Luongo.
Hailing from Boston, John ‘TC’ Luongo is widely seen as one of the most influential DJs and mixers of the Disco era. For over a decade, until he stepped away from mixing, almost everything he touched was a hit, including classics such as Jackie Moore’s ‘This Time Baby’, ‘Vertigo / Relight My Fire’ by Dan Hartman and Patti Labelle’s ‘Music Is My Way Of Life’. He also worked on music outside the disco genre, which is why these new sets include artists such as ZZ Top, Billy Idol, Tina Turner, Cabaret Voltaire, ABC, Wang Chung, Soft Cell, Level 42 and many more.
Arthur Baker presents Dance Masters: John Luongo – The Classic Remixes (to give it its full title) is available as 43-track 4CD set – with a limited quantity available with a signed print – a 36-track 6LP vinyl set (which all come with a signed print) and a cut-down 2LP, 16-track ‘essentials’ vinyl edition. These sets have been compiled by Wayne A. Dickson in conjunction with series curator Arthur Baker (full tracklistings for all formats, below).
The 4CD media book edition includes a 32-page booklet featuring a foreword by Arthur Baker, an in-depth essay written by Alexis Petridis, a track-by-track from John himself and rare photos from Luongo’s personal Collection.
Arthur Baker presents Dance Masters: John Luongo – The Classic Remixes will be released by Demon Music on 17 November 2023.
