Dave Lee's Z Records has always joined the dots between the best of disco past, present and future and this latest 12' is another such sublime gem. His own mix of 'Soul Underground', which is a brand new AC Soul Symphony track, opens up the EP and has warm, bumping drums and the sort of life-affirming strings that swell the heart. 'I Want To See You Dance' (Art Of Tones Remix) is a funkier number with hip-swinging claps and then things get super smooth with 'Windy City Theme' (GU's Orchestra Electronica mix) which is cosmic, future and irresistible. Add in a useful acapella and you have a joyous, handy EP.These songs were taken from the legendary producer Dave Lee's 'Metamorphosis' LP released in 2023 as AC Soul Symphony - his most ambitious production project in his 35-year career. With an inimitable CV and discography that includes over a thousand production credits to his name, hundreds of singles under renowned pseudonyms including Joey Negro, and three UK top 40 hits as Jakatta, Dave Lee is one of the UK's most revered producers of disco and house music, defining each genre with a signature sound. Always looking to push the boundaries of what it means to make music, his latest project sees Dave return to one of his lesser-known pseudonyms - AC Soul Symphony - to deliver an epic disco record that takes the sound back to it's roots in every way possible.
