We needn't detain you too long with this one - the story's nice and simple, as UK veteran Pete Le Freq brings us his takes on a brace of vintage dancefloor gems, namely Frisky's 'Burn Me Up (With Your Love)' from 1979 and Ray Parker Jr & Raydio's 'It's Time To Party Now' from 1980. Which means the EP also serves as a kind of inadvertent micro-history of Black American dance music, capturing as it does the subtle shift from the handclaps, funk bass and harmonised vox of 70s disco to the more spangly, electronically-inclined sound of 80s boogie.

UK veteran Pete Le Freq gets out the razorblades and Selotape and serves up a brace of re-edits for Hot Gorilla. First under the scalpel is Banbarra's 'Shack Up' from 1975 (as covered by post-punk faves A Certain Ratio later on) - the treatment here is so reverential it's hard to say exactly what the re-edit does differently, but the original was always a stone-cold cert so this should be too! 'Rock Me', meanwhile, revisits 'Rock Me Again & Again & Again & Again & Again & Again', a 1974 single by Lyn Collins of 'Think (About It)' fame. Funk-tastic!
