The ‘V’ Project is a high energy project from producer Vincent Degiorgio who also gave us Tapps, Crystal In The Pink, Shezoray, Eria Fachin and Barbara Doust. A well and knowledgeable producer who took the mid-80s for an opportunity to keep the dance floors hot in the disco tradition. “Black Jack” is his 1985 cover of the Baciotti song originally released in 1977. Degiorgio takes advantage of each of the rhythmic outlines of the song and gives it a more lustful and enticing edge. The vocals flow nicely with the arrangement and as intended relay a touch of mystique to the song. High energy music is an electronic form of the disco arrangement from the late 70s and in this venture The ‘V” Project (obviously ‘Vince’ Project) takes this classic disco song right back where it left off only in a new technical stage of musical production.
I have taken the 12” vocal and dub versions of The ‘V’ Projects “Black Jack” and rewound the energy into a new ReStructure Mix. Laying out the mysterious keyboards into a new arrangement which places the song again in a new environment.
