Set to drop via RCA on 12&#8243; vinyl, these remixes breathe new life into two classics that defined an era. Burke&#8217;s &#8216;Risin&#8217; to the Top&#8217;, first released in 1982 on his album Changes, remains one of his most enduring tracks. It&#8217;s a song that has been sampled across genres, from hip-hop to r&#038;b, by the likes of Mary J. Blige and LL Cool J. Maurro&#8217;s remix stays true to the original, adding subtle guitar riffs and an extended rhythm section, while preserving the song&#8217;s chilled-out vibe. The result is a refined version that respects the sensual groove that made it such a standout. On the flip side, Maurro turns his attention to Evelyn &#8216;Champagne&#8217; King&#8217;s 1981 hit &#8216;I&#8217;m In Love&#8217;. Originally a high-energy singalong anthem, this remix stays close to the spirit of the track but pushes the production forward. King&#8217;s uplifting vocals remain the focal point, but with Maurro&#8217;s touch, the track feels revitalised, with a polished mix that&#8217;s ready to captivate the dancefloor once again. Both tracks offer a reminder of just how timeless this era of boogie and disco remains, with Maurro&#8217;s remixes ensuring they sound as fresh today as they did decades ago. Perfect for DJs looking to inject some classic charm into their sets, these re-releases will no doubt reignite the love for these iconic tunes, proving once more that great music never goes out of style.<\/p>\n<p>Label: RCA<br \/>\nFormat: 12&#8243;<br \/>\nCat: PR 65028P<br \/>\nReleased: 05 Nov 24<br \/>\nGenre: Disco\/Nu-Disco<br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.juno.co.uk\/products\/keni-burke-evelyn-risin-to-the-top-a-vinyl\/1043738-01\/?ref=motionfm&#038;utm_source=affiliate&#038;utm_medium=affiliate&#038;utm_campaign=affiliate_dashboard_referral\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\"><strong>BUY 12&#8243;<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n<p><strong>Tracklist <\/p>\n<p><\/strong><strong>Side A<\/strong><br \/>\nKeni Burke &#8211; &#8220;Risin&#8217; To The Top&#8221; (A Mike Maurro mix) 8:50<\/p>\n<p><strong>Side B<\/strong><br \/>\nEvelyn Champagne King &#8211; &#8220;I&#8217;m In Love&#8221; (A Mike Maurro mix) 9:30<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Review Two legendary boogie anthems of the 80s are getting a fresh spin, with Mike Maurro offering new takes on Keni &hellip;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":9,"featured_media":20181,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":[],"categories":[16],"tags":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/motionfm.com\/wp2014\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/20180"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/motionfm.com\/wp2014\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/motionfm.com\/wp2014\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/motionfm.com\/wp2014\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/9"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/motionfm.com\/wp2014\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=20180"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/motionfm.com\/wp2014\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/20180\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":20182,"href":"https:\/\/motionfm.com\/wp2014\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/20180\/revisions\/20182"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/motionfm.com\/wp2014\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/20181"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/motionfm.com\/wp2014\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=20180"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/motionfm.com\/wp2014\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=20180"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/motionfm.com\/wp2014\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=20180"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
