This latest instalment of ARTHUR BAKER Presents DANCE MASTERS finds the production/songwriting/remixing maestro taking the spotlight for a long overdue snapshot of his own classic 12" mixes during a crucial evolution of dance music, club and pop culture. "I've always felt like I was on a mission to make music from the time I heard Motown, Philly and Sly and the Family Stone. My mission started as a hobby and still feels like one now. So many people in the business have a short memory. You've got to keep on pushing and hustling. It can be a drag sometimes but if you really love what you're doing, it's worth the work. I still really love what I do." Arthur Baker helped codify the remixer as artist. His genre fluid approach to projects has resulted in a joyous myriad of classics that spans many decades. This 80 's focused DANCE MASTERS collection offers a welcome glimpse at Baker's illustrious career and many long out of print 12" versions and previously unavailable mixes. This 43 track, four CD edition includes a wide array of selections from the likes of Robbie Nevil's "C'est La Vie", Fleetwood Mac's "Big Love," Neneh Cherry's "Buffalo Stance", Jeffrey Osborne's "Soweto", Freeez's "I O U", Rockers Revenge's "Walking On Sunshine" and of course the juggernaut "Planet Rock" with Afrika Bambaataa & Soulsonic Force. Complete with in depth liner notes by Bill Coleman, track by track notes written by Arthur Baker himself, previously unseen session photos from Arthur's personal archives and a signed insert. All tracks remastered by Nick Robbins at Sound Mastering. 6LP and 2LP vinyl editions are also available.
