REISSUE: "Low Down Dirty Rhythm" - Glenn Rivera ReStructure Mix - Sarah Dash

 

REISSUE: "Low Down Dirty Rhythm" - Glenn Rivera ReStructure Mix - Sarah Dash Sarah Dash is a soulful vocalist and also the third "lady bird" in Patti LaBelle's trio LaBelle ("Lady Marmalade") in the early and mid 70s. Moving onto a solo career in 1978 Sarah recorded her disco classic, "Sinner Man". The LP fared quite well and brought a follow up project titled, "Oo-La-La". In 1983 Sarah began working with San Francisco based high energy label Megatone Records and synthesizer genius Patrick Cowley - her second single was "Low Down Dirty Rhythm" a sleaze number featuring the magic of Patrick Cowley's growing sound. This was a perfect example of how soulful disco synthesizers could bring out the right vocal - and with Sarah it was a winner. I have ReStructured "Low Down Dirty Rhythm" with a new intro and some looping to keep the sleaze here "sleazy". A great number to work with and also a hard piece to choose from Sarah's funky and soulful vocals.
