Escort – Chaméleon Chameleon & Starlight

Following the stunning album that (finally) surfaced on Tirk Records last year, seventeen-piece live disco band Escort arrive on sister label Nang via Red Music by popular demand with two of the most prevalent cuts from the album, Cameleon Chameleon & Starlight, remixed by Anglo-Japanese powerhouse Max Essa, and Red Records label boss and Ilija Rudman.

Ilijas cut of Cameleon Chameleon is as funky as they come, enveloping strains of the originalin his silken synth work and driving dance-floor percussion. Edits of Adeline Micheles vocal hook are teased in throughout, beautifully done but never deriving from the fact that this is strict dancefloor stuff.

Next up, Max Essa delivers a stomping rendition of long time favourite, Starlight. His cut stays true to the original, retaining vibe, funk and feeling, but giving it that subtle injection of House that is just made for peak time at the dance. If you like your disco live, the Escort collective has a couple of UK dates penned in for March / April 2012, so keep em peeled!
