"Dance Classics of Chaka Khan" is a compilation album of recordings by American R&B/funk singer Chaka Khan released on the Warner Bros. Records label in Japan in 1999. As the title suggests the compilation mainly focuses on the dancefloor friendly part of Khan's repertoire from the late 1970s to mid 1980s, including classic single cuts like "I'm Every Woman", "Fate", "Eye To Eye", "Clouds", "I Feel for You" as well as album tracks like "Pass It On (Sure Thing)" and "A Woman in a Man's World". Dance Classics is however mainly notable for the inclusion of two rarities: the original 12" Long Vocal Mix and 12" Instrumental Version of the 1982 hit single "Tearin' It Up", both mixed by legendary D.J. Larry Levan and as yet only available on this compilation.

O This new, low-price, 2 CD and download compilation is part of EMI's global 'Electrospective' campaign launching this June, which comprehensively chronicles the development of Electronic music in terms of music, technology and culture from it's earliest roots in the late 1950s to the present day. The campaign will feature big name artist participation (David Guetta, Carl Cox, Midge Ure, Martyn Ware, Daniel Miller etc), live events, newly created merchandise, magazine / tech brand partnerships (Mojo, Mixmag, Future) and promotion via bespoke online / social media platforms. O the 24 track 2 CD collection charts the development of the remix from extended version to full re-construction. A journey by DJ that takes US from Heaven 17's extended reworking of their own seminal 'Penthouse And Pavement' single from '81 right through to mysterious London producers SBTRKT's re-make of Tinie Tempah's UK No.1 'Pass Out'. The album is a veritable who's who of remix culture. O 24 rare remix tracks - some seeing a commercial release for the first time - featuring some of electronic music's biggest names such as Heaven 17, Inner City, William Orbit, Depeche Mode, Daft Punk, Tinie Tempah. O Some of the key innovators in the history of the remix are featured including M&M, François Kevorkian, Larry Levan, Derrick May, Masters at Work, Deep Dish and Ewan Pearson.

Instant Funk, the nine-piece funk unit discovered by Bunny Sigler, created a stir in 1979 when Salsoul released the single "I Got My Mind Made Up (You Can Get It Girl)." Swirling, screaming horns announce the chorus; hand claps, tambourines and a maniacal rhythm guitar battle the heavy bottom; and a woman delivers erotic lines for added impact. Salsoul followed the #20 pop and #1 R&B (for three weeks) hit with "Crying," a race horse whose relentless beat only subsides near the fade; Carmichael's vocal is passionate, almost deranged. "Never Let Me Go Away," a rare Instant Funk ballad, was so overblown the melody got buried. Spooky voices and haunted-house sounds wallpaper "Dark Vader"'s comic-book lyrics and funky hooks. Rolling horns pump "I'll Be Doggone" (not the Marvin Gaye hit), a cooker that rolls for seven minutes. Four of the eight tracks are killers; a pretty good average for a disco/funk group.

Enjoy this Compilation with the most successful Salsoul: The Original Disco Mixes, Vol. 1 singers like Loleatta Holloway, Double Exposure, Double Exposure and many more!
