Donna ALLEN
Joy & Pain (Dr Packer Remixes) (12")
High Fashion Netherlands
Cat: MS 525. Rel: 23 Oct 23
Disco/Nu Disco/Re-Edits
Side 1. Joy & Pain (Dr Packer extended mix) Side 2. Joy & Pain (Dr Packer dubstrumental mix)
Donna Allen's 1988 cover of Maze classic - a glossy, synth-sporting, decidedly loved-up 80s soul affair - is perhaps not one of her most celebrated singles, but it's still a genuine gem - and a fine alternative interpretation of a much-loved song. As you'd expect, this remixed edition looks firmly towards 21st century dancefloors, with popular re-editor-turned-remixer Dr Packer upping the tempo and reaching for disco-flecked house beats in a bid for peak-time plays. The Aussie producer's A-side vocal version is tasteful and undeniably club ready, making use of most of the original instrumentation while (we think) re-playing the bassline. That bassline comes to the fore more on the stripped-back (but similarly loved up) B-side 'dubstrumental' mix.
