Midnight
Star is an r&b and funk band created in the early 80s by The
Calloway Brothers (Reggie and Vincent Calloway). Their brand of dance
music was the deep driving electronic feel of 80s funk. Many of their
tracks dominated the changing style of dance music including the new
page of funk which they branded. “Midas Touch” comes from their 1986
album “Headlines” which is to date one of their most electric love-sonic
pieces. It is a smooth piece of their soul given in a clever take on
the old fable in love sonnets. A big hit for me and a sure old-school
classic as it is today.
I
have taken the 12” vocal, instrumental and vocal dub to re-touch this
funk masterpiece with a ReStructure Mix. Giving it a new intro and flow
with the verses breaking into parts only to expose more grooves. It is a
salute to the ever changing dance sound of the 80s and a band that
helped to make it happen.
