Description
A must-listen record that reimagines Marvin Gaye classics as house music!
A 12-inch remix that transforms Marvin Gaye classics into house music. Side A features the Reprise Remix and House Remix of "Music," while Side B features the House Remix of "Mercy Mercy Me."
"Music" is a funky, groovy track from Marvin Gaye's 1973 album Let's Get It On that captures the essence of his musical appeal. On the other hand, "Mercy Mercy Me (The Ecology)" is one of the standout tracks from What's Going On in 1971, an important Marvin Gaye song addressing environmental destruction and social anxiety. These two tracks, which differ in era and background, have been reimagined with four-on-the-floor house grooves and club-oriented arrangements.
While making full use of Marvin Gaye's vocals and melodies, the "Music" remixes offer a DJ-friendly progression over fat beats. Side B's "Mercy Mercy Me" is also a floor-ready rework that places that iconic vocal over a house rhythm.
A versatile record that bridges Marvin Gaye's soul/funk with house music. Recommended for DJs who want to play these classics from a different angle than the original recordings.
