Absolute smashing mixes here, got it up full blast. Thanks again.
Gracias! Gracias! Gracias, a great remix Song. New for me. Tks!
You’re welcome Carlos 🙂
Never heard this before. Thanks! Strong Pet Shop Boys remix vibe to the production. The melody feels like PWL/SAW.
You’re welcome music_fan 🙂
Great to see a post of this forgotten act. I Know That mood and Trick Of The Light were better songs…not sure they got a US release though. If you have them please post Paul! I have the 7″ of both but not the 12″ releases…
I second this request on Shooting Party’s earlier releases. Thank you for bringing Safe in The Arms of Love track back to life.
I will see what I can do guys 🙂
Didn’t know about these guys. A very catchy song with the typical SAW-sound. The remix sounds great. Thanks Paul for this incredible week of LOVE. Have a great weekend.
You’re welcome Daniel 🙂
Thanks for this Week of Love, DJPaul!
You made me discover new Artists and awesome songs.
This track (and his remix/production by Harding & Curnow)
reminds me the sounds of “I’m not scared” by Eighth Wonder.
Regards.
You’re welcome BE DJ12″. I agree it does sound a lot like those artists 🙂
Thanks for this one Paul. In my opinion the very best song of Shooting Party is “I Know That Mood”. Do you have it on vinyl? If yes, please post it, it’s a gem!
Have a great weekend,
Pablo
I will try to locate it Pablo 🙂
This is one of my all-time favourites as you know Paul. Brilliant way to end a great week. You’re a star matey, a diamond that shines real bright and we have so much to be grateful for. Big, huge hugs my friend from across the pond x
You’re very welcome Roy, big hug 🙂
Never heard of these guys Paul. Though i like the PWL treatment. and of course your vinyl rips are awesome.
Thank you Omar 🙂
Paul, you’ve got me stumped on this one, but, hey, maybe I do know this one. I still get excited over the “new music” you present me throughout the year! This has been an incredible week of faves and surprises. Keep ’em coming, always!!
Have a love-ly weekend Paul!!
