    • 2. Boogie To The Top (Edited Version)

    A much welcomed reissue of the 1978 Idris Muhammad gem ‘Boogie To The Top’. Released a year after, arguably, Idris’ most well-known anthem, ‘Could Heaven Ever Be Like This’ the similarities in style and composition are clear. Expertly produced, rich instrumentation, expansive drum fills, gospel tinged full-bodied vocals, all the while epic and life affirming in it’s nature – what more could you want?

    Young Pulse steps up on the b-side, to add his own subtle touches and tweaks to the original. Looping the guitar and echoing out the vocals whilst working in more of the synth lines. The addition of a crisp clap and extra percussion add an element more vibrancy into this mix, keeping the original feel intact whilst revitalising it for 2018.
