Patrick Colby is an Italo-disco project from producers Alex Cundari and Max Sierra. The single was released in 1985 and was an Italo-disco number in the mature stages of high energy and the rolling hypnotic sequencers weaving patterns. “Mandrill” is a story about a tough kid who falls into a new world when he is free on the dance floor. The energy here is nice and blends into the pop-iconic vocals which Patrick amerces himself into when the chorus rides into a nice crescendo. One of the mid-tempo gems for my club of the time and a favorite of mine which I always remember from the sweet melody.
I have taken the 12” vocal and instrumental of “Mandrill” and reapplied a new arrangement for this ReStructure Mix. A new break with a guest appearance by Tito Puente is added to give the Latin fantasy some reality.
