Description
Danny Krivit, with over 50 years of experience in the New York dance scene, elevates Michael Jackson and Janet Jackson's 90s house anthems into the ultimate 7-inch format.
Danny Krivit, a resident of New York's legendary party "Body & Soul" and a pioneer of "edit" culture since the 1970s, continues to lead the way. From his "Mr. K Edits" series comes a landmark track that vividly bridges the gap between R&B and house.
Side A features Michael Jackson's "Remember The Time," released in 1992. Crafted by Chicago heavyweight E-Smoove, the "Late Nite" remix, which received the highest acclaim at the time, has been generously condensed into a 7-inch format. An intro that makes DJ mixing smooth and a unique acapella ending that highlights the lingering vocals have been added. This can be called the definitive version of this floor-shaking track.
Side B features Janet Jackson's "Any Time, Any Place." The soulful, uplifting groove of the "D&D" remix by Darryl James and David Anthony, released in 1994, has been extracted. A classic favored by Frankie Knuckles, this is a special track that has symbolized the Body & Soul dance floor for many years. Mr. K's personal edit, which he has used himself on the dance floor, has been pressed onto a 7-inch for the very first time.
Craftsmanship that balances practical use on the dance floor with a dynamic sonic profile is densely packed into this vinyl.

Danny Krivit pays tribute to the royal family of soul with a double A-side of classic house remixes from Michael and Janet, both appearing on 7-inch for the first time. Standouts from the revered era of ’90s house, these tracks have remained a steady presence in Krivit’s sets, a testament to their timeless appeal.
Mr. K’s edit of ‘Remember The Time’ takes E-Smoove’s punchy Late Nite remix from the original 1992 12-inch single — already considered the strongest mix on the release — and carefully condenses it to fill a 7-inch, retaining all the best elements while adding a highly mixable intro and a unique acapella ending. This edit might now be the definitive version of this classic club tune! The original mix of Janet’s ‘Any Time, Any Place’ hit radio in 1993, but it wasn’t until the following year when Darryl James and David Anthony’s smoothly uplifting and funky remix really took off in all the clubs, and it’s this D&D remix that Krivit turns his attention to for the flip side of this new MEU 45. A favorite of Frankie Knuckles, and Body & Soul, ‘Any Time, Any Place’ has remained a go-to cut for Mr. K, who shares his personal edit here on the compact format for the very first time.
