Dimitri Kechagias review: The exceptional singer Donna Summer remains in our memories as one of the most influential artists of the recent years. Her performance was always exceptional and very difficult for others to reach. The Love to Love You Donna is an incredible way to pay tribute to her wonderful music and the way she has changed the life of many young people that went out in discos back in the 1970s. The remixes included on the dj sampler are fantastic and must play in your dj sets. Love to Love You Baby is remixed by the legend himself Giorgio Moroder who gives it a contemporary breaks style sound with electro music infusions as well. Gigamesh remix on Bad Girls is a naughty dirty groovy chunky house rework that will put you in mood to boogie boogie. The superstar Afrojack respects the well known basslines and synths of I Feel Love and he keeps things big room and hypnotic as it was the original. Banging and bouncy I Feel Love has found the language to communicate with the new generation of 2013. Last dance is remixed in their usual Latino tribal deep house sound of Master at Work. Pure class from the very start till its end will warm your senses and keep you on the dancefloor for the Last Dance of the night. The massive Hot Stuff is reworked into perfection by Frankie Knuckles & Eric Kupper who deliver the late night dark tribal USA house style version that the friends of the classic house sound will adore without doubts. The well known synthy melody is present but remains at the very back and quite understated. Lastly Love Is In Control reworked by Chromeo & Oliver in an eclectic modern electro sound that is funky and packed with attitude and energy of course. Great new versions to pay tribute to the lady of Disco! We Love To Love You Donna, Love iT
