Jessica is Malaika Trümper – a German disco singer who recorded several dance singles during the mid and late 80s. The music produced by Bernd Dietrich and Engelbert Simons is a high energy feel which was labeled ‘Asian New Wave”. This was a bright and uplifting sound similar to groups like Modern Talking. “Chinese Magic” is a small celebration with a rolling chorus which brings to mind fan dancers for me. This one always had a melodic feel which I loved to use during tea dances or programs with an uplifting feel. It is simple and Jessica’s soft and breathy vocals bring to mind a disco period where happiness was the mood of the music.
I have taken the vocal and instrumental from the 12” single and recreated a deeper edged ReStructure Mix using the rolling bass synths on a down beat. The uplifting chorus is accentuated with more of an underground lead into this mystical sound I have also rearranged the original to give it not only a longer act but also add a few breaks with a classic sample from Led Zeppelin which came to mind somewhere in the creative process.
