Earlene Bentley brought the dance floor to its knees in 1983 with her high energy hit “The Boys Come To Town” which was produced by the iconic team of Ian Levine and Fiachra Trench. This was the big period where disco music was being reborn again in a new genre called high energy. Lots of percussion and heavy beats were the formula and not a shy use of the disco elements that made dance floors feel free. The productions were electronic but not less symphonic. The voices used in this new formula were powerful divas with a roaring edge to their delivery. Earlene Bentley always took hold of the energy and made it her own and it is no exception here in “Caught In The Act” from 1984 when she finds her lover in an expose.
I have taken the vocal and dub from the Record Shack 12” and discovered a new situation for “Caught In The Act”. Many of the keyboard hooks are the high energy pieces we all grew to love and move to. Here they are spaced apart and used sparingly to lay down a whole new piece for high energy fans.
