The Players Association is a disco/funk ensemble lead by producer, Danny Weiss. One of the early signs of soul and funk emulating a new sound that was fully dedicated to the dance floors of the time. Similar to The Salsoul Orchestra with more of that jamming essence in arrangements and production. “Love Hangover” is their instrumental cover of Diana Ross’ big soul classic from 1976 a year following its success. This recording is a full on instrumental as a live band would project its sensual allure. The layout is identical yet minus Ross’ sex appeal. It is from their first self-titled release. The disco history is all contained in bands like The Players Association and the lure of many who were curious of what disco music was or was becoming is a big part of this sound.
I have taken the 12” version of The Players Association’s “Love Hangover” and laid down some new beats and heavy percussion to recreate this ReStructure Mix. Some of Diana Ross’ original acapella is added to remind us of just how sexy and infectious this track is and was.
