Stellar full length of edits and reworks from Spanish boogie expert Rayko. When it comes to disco and boogie edits this dude’s work is top notch, and on Dragon Soul we are treated to a gang of cuts that’ll work the floor over and then some. Obviously selection plays an important part in any good edit, and Rayko picks the jams ranging from sexy disco funk (Sumy’s “Funkin In Your Mind”) and party starting italo (K.I.D.’s “Come And Get It”) to slept-on garage style classics (D-Train’s “Keep Giving Me Love”) and deep burning 80’s r&b (Womack & Womack “Conscious of My Conscious” and “Love Wars”). All edits are done tastefully with much respect to the original and enough added punch to move the modern dancefloor. Also includes a killer edit of Final Edition’s “I Can Do It Anyway” as used for A-Trak and Armand’s “aNYway”. 8 tracks over double vinyl from Glenview Records. Recommended.
