US house icon DJ Spen (aka Sean Spencer) began his illustrious career in the mid-’80s as a 13 year- old Baltimore hip-hop radio DJ, making beats with his group the Numarx. The group was responsible for writing and recording ‘Girl You Know It’s True’, later covered by Milli Vanilli.

Working with a group of talented vocalists and musicians, under the name Jasper Street Co., DJ Spen released his first solo production, ‘A Feelin’ on Basement Boys Records in 1995. This was the first in a lauded series of releases for the label that brought Spen commercial and dance floor success over the next decade, earning him international recognition as a house music pioneer.

In 2004, DJ Spen split from The Basement Boys, and eventually founded his new imprints Quantize Recordings and later, Unquantize. Collectively, both labels have notched up an impressive 600+ releases, featuring artists such as Crystal Waters, Ann Nesby, Louie Vega, David Morales, Barbara Tucker, Timmy Regisford, ThommyDavis, and so many more.

Across Spotify his recent releases have picked up over 700k streams worldwide, with Amazon Music also supporting across their ‘Electric Disco’ and ‘Progressive Dance’ playlist. 

The result of a chance encounter between the two artists, FNP heard the original track and had a clear vision of how the track would adapt to his sound. Speaking on the inspiration behind the new remix, he states:

I had received a press release for the original version of ‘The Times’ and was blown away. I immediately got in touch, as I knew the chord pattern and the funky guitar licks would lend themselves to a nu-disco rework perfectly. New groove, a new structure and some analogue synth elements and we all love the result”

To mark the occasion, the duo went back in the studio and recreated and remastered the record completely – see if you can spot the difference! Together with Tinted Records, today M&S further announce two very special remixes from dance music royalty – Mighty Mouse and Mark Knight.

With the new mixes bringing the acclaimed record into the 2020s, it’s time for a whole new generation to fall in love with the groove-laden beats that took the world by storm and catapulted the single to #1 on the UK dance charts, #6 on the UK singles chart, and #21 on the US Billboard Chart. 

Ricky and Fran of M&S share their excitement, “Yes Yes Yes! Wow! We are beyond excited! We can’t believe it’s been 20 years since the release of Salsoul Nugget! Thank you so much to Archie and the Central Station Records team for bringing it back to life with our new remasters for 2021 and stunning remixes from Mr Mark Knight and the Mighty Mighty Mouse both giving a new edge to our ‘Classic’. 20 years and well worth the wait! Here’s hoping you agree also. Thank you so much for the support. We love you and keep on dancin!”

First up to the plate is none other than UK producer, and peer in many ways to M&S, Mighty Mouse. With a long-standing career, the acclaimed producer has had a resurgence in recent years, with the release of his mammoth single ‘The Spirit’, released on Glitterbox. The record became a favourite the world over, becoming Annie Mac’s ‘Hottest Record In The World’ on BBC Radio 1, with extensive touring across Europe, North America, Australia, and New Zealand. Mighty Mouse focuses on the instrumentation, going back to the original sample, amplifying it with bright and upbeat disco vibes whilst incorporating big brass moments.

Mighty Mouse said “Such a treat to be able to remix a classic like this, and even more so because it’s one of my favourite house tracks ever. I took it in a slightly more disco direction whilst trying to keep the flavour of the original. And I love how it turned out!”

Divulging the details on his own process he shares, “As soon as I was asked to do the remix, I instantly had an idea. It’s not often classics like this come up but I knew immediately I wanted to take it in a more disco direction. So I started to see if I could find a way to chop up the sample slightly differently from the original and hold out on the main groove until after the main breakdown, teasing the main groove throughout the track. I wanted to bring out the chorus a bit more so added Rhodes and synth lines to open it up more, then it all went a bit psychedelic in the breakdown which I felt added a slightly different dimension to it. And of courses it NEEDED a huge breakdown.”

Using darker tones throughout the production, POOLCLVB adds a depth to his latest work by wearing his heart on his sleeve, explaining “‘Erase’ was shaped during a time in my life where I was feeling displaced. It’s me at my most vulnerable. There was a pivotal moment last year where I had to learn to put aside the self-doubt and open up to discover the deeper parts of myself, and actually release the music instead of just sitting on it. It’s been incredibly liberating.”

With an undeniable lust for life that is highlighted in his upbeat and forward thinking productions, POOLCLVB, has become of the most respected producers on the Australian scene. Anyone who has had the pleasure of seeing POOLCLVB perform can testify, that further to his unrivalled abilities behind the decks, POOLCLVB has a unique ability to lift an entire room.
