New York Models is a high energy project from Bobby Orlando - a vintage disco producer who also created The Flirts, Waterfront Home, Hotline, Gina Desire and Hippies With Haircuts. Orlando’s approach being a heavy percussion layer with light and simple melodies keeping the rhythm connected. “Fashion” is a 1984 release with many pieces of past productions in his arsenal with its rolling bass lines and similar chorus of his track “Passion” by The Flirts. It still cooks on the dance floor with the energy and boldness in Orlando’s single remixes. The female vocalist here explains why her lover is more than just a lover - there is a connection to the latest needed to be in style. It is another one of his sprinkled pieces in his releases and kept his name and sound out the during the 80’s and its many dance floor.
I have taken the 12” vocal and instrumental of “Fashion” into the ReStructure Mix realm in homage to the Orlando sound. The original elements are taken apart and reassembled to give another session of the “fashion” for more than just adorning.
