Cool Down Zone - Heaven Knows 1990

10 Records TEN X 309


1990 saw the arrival of Cool Down Zone featuring the gorgeous vocals of Charlemagne. At this time she wasn't getting a special mention. The Remix 12" has exactly the same B-Side and one track on the A-Side which is a Steve 'Disco Mix Club' Anderson remix that in no way competes with the original, therefore I've simply added the track.

Cool Down Zone - Lonely Hearts 1992

Maranza Recording Corporation SOBO5

The Cool Down Zone featuring Charlemagne first came to my attention via the gorgeous Heaven Knows (watch this space) released on 10 Records. Two years later this was released on an independent label, Maranza, which I guess means they didn't fare to well. Life sucks, I guess popular doesn't mean good?

My apologies for the 'eggs and bacon' on this one. I've tried to clean up as best I can without disturbing the original recording. You'll notice that despite there being four versions, only one is titled as a specific mix. A1 is credited as mixed by C.D.Z. and AA1 is titled the Uptown Mix but no credit (unless the names are the remixers?).

Trivia: The record is labeled 45RPM but plays at 33RPM.

• Mix 1
• Mix 2
• Uptown Mix

Color Me Badd - Time & Chance 1993

Giant Records 74321 16899 2

Chances are, you hear Color Me Badd and think I Wanna Sex U Up.... Don't!

This is a great release, overlooked by many and a great loss IMHO. The maturity shown in this track emphasizes how much the group had progressed. Funk On A Skunk is the weapon of choice for me. How Deep is also a worthy stand-alone track and not just along for the ride. Enjoy!

Dream Warriors - My Definition... (YD Remixes) 1990

4th & Broadway 12 BRX 197

Watching the Dream Warriors taking the Pop world by storm with their 'Definition Of A Boombastic Jazz Style', the JazzWorld decided that their own definition would be a little different. The UK was on the verge of a Acid Jazz explosion. Everybody in Hip-Hop was 'getting Jazz' from Stetsasonic to Gang Starr and even Jazzy Jeff & The Fresh Prince. On the UK Soul Scene the name on everybody's lips was The Young Disciples. 'Femi Fem' Williams and
'Marco' Nelson would make the world a better place by recording an album featuring the voice of Carleen Anderson, thus launching her on to a solo career that would produce 'True Spirit'. Thanks guys, a worthy legacy.

Marco & Femi were called in to remix the 'Boombastic Jazz' of the Dream Warriors and yet another 'defining moment' set the new decade on track. Here then, are the Young Disciples Mixes of My Definition Of A Boombastic Jazz Style. The Next Definition is different, very different, Cool with a capital C!
