Lisa
Lisa and Cult Jam are Lisa Velez, Mike Hughes and Alex “Spanador”
Moseley – a group which brought the mid-80s a new street r&b sound
with a touch of Miami Freestyle on the edges. Their single “Head To Toe”
from 1987 was produced by Full Force and has the funky beats and rhythm
that set their vocals which echo an oldies shoo-bop feel on fire. It is
one of pinnacle singles from the group and reminds me of a time when
pop-dance engaged traditions of disco music.
I
have taken the 12” vocal and dub (“Foot Mix”) into a ReStructure Mix
play which gives the track a playful dub feel with more of the bridge
which raises the love from Lisa to sweetness. I have no idea why Rosie
and The Originals’ “Angel Baby” got caught up in this mix – it was
always in the background of my mind when placing this song.
