This Thursday, January 29, our favourite Italo/Euro/NRG station Club 80’s are doing a special about me. I chatted for a long time to presenter Will Reid about a wide range of topics – well, music, basically – and this interview will be cut into digestible chunks, interspersed with many fabby tunes. Always nice to have an exclusive on such shows, and this time I made sure it was something quite special. For the first time, anywhere, you will be able to hear a Paul Parker track I remixed, written by Paul and Miguel Cruz (original version produced by Miguel). It is a beautiful tune (sort of mellow, melodic Euro dance), Paul Parker‘s vocals on it are stellar, and Will Reid himself was immediately smitten when he heard it – or so he said. To make up your own mind, tune in this Thursday night. I will also take part in the live chat during the show.
