The South London-producer nudges a diva-house classic up the timeline.
Coldcut’s ‘People Hold On’, featuring singer Lisa Stansfield, is a pitch-perfect slice of late 80s utopian house. In fact, it even appeared in FACT’s list of 21 diva-house belters that still sound incredible, a piece inspired by Disclosure’s collaboration with Mary J. Blige.
But while Mary J’s version of ‘F For You’ might be a little too pristine for some, Deadboy’s ‘Lisa’ — a reworking of ‘People Hold On’ — is sultry and seductive as it toys with garage, bassline and club conventions.
