When Harmless released 'Philly Re-Grooved - The Tom Moulton Remixes' back in August 2010, they had little idea of how it would perform in today¹s notoriously fickle marketplace. Would today¹s audiences be capable of appreciating the skills and talents of a guy who was at the forefront of Dance Music history some 40 years ago? Would current audiences be able to understand the subtle nuances and musical interactions of a pioneer mixing records from a bygone era in today¹s age of instant gratification? In short, would there be ANY kind of audience?
The answer to all the above questions was a resounding YES, and then some. 'Philly Re-Grooved' Volume 1 was a special release in many ways. Not only was it the 100th release in the 15 year history of Harmless Records but it was also very much a mark of respect to the greatest Remixer of all-time, Tom Moulton. Whilst this would be of great significance to people growing up during the 1960¹s and 70¹s, there was really no guarantee that interest in the release would go much beyond the core audience of Disco stalwarts from back in the day. Little did Harmless realise that 'Philly Re-Grooved' Volume 1 touched a very significant nerve with ANYONE who loved dance music in the summer of 2010. After decades of being force-fed computer-driven dance music by bedroom producers who decided that they could take the place of professional songwriters, producers, arrangers and musicians, there was a sudden thirst for REAL productions again, namely the kind of records which required consummate experts to craft them and often full orchestras of 40 plus musicians to bring the songs to life. 'Philly Re-Grooved' went straight into the UK Top 100 and has been one of Harmless' biggest catalogue-sellers ever since!
So welcome to 'Philly Re-Grooved The Tom Moulton Mixes Volume 2: The Master Returns'. Once again Tom goes back to the golden age of 70¹s Philly and shows his skills on key tracks from First Choice, The Quickest Way Out, Ultra High Frequency, Moment Of Truth, Loose Change, TJM and Terry Collins to create another masterpiece and perfect companion to Volume 1.
Enjoy and discover wall to wall quality and let¹s kick off the summer of 2011!
