It’s not often I’m lost for words but when I first heard this LeoZero aka Leo Elstob (A Mountain of One) edit of Chaka Khan & Rufus’ ‘Stop on By’, it sent a bolt like shiver down the back of my neck culminating in a loss of control of my bodily functions – succinctly, superb is how I would describe this edit.
The Popular People’s Front edits inspired by SWAG maestro Chris Duckenfield are certainly, with the odd exception, truly excellent and do what an edit should do , i.e. improve the original whilst bringing something new to the table. The original Chaka Khan & Rufus record (1972) was based on a slow funk riddled groove punctuated by Khan’s stunning vocals.
The LeoZero edit is beefed up nicely with a breakdown to remember and a sensual beat throughout, a perfect way to end the night!
