Description
2023 reissue, 12″, Thank You.
Some suitably sizzling summer fare here from the dusty-fingered Thank You crew, whose latest reissue focuses on a little-known, house-era Italo-disco gem from 1990. First time round, the single was a private press seven-inch, meaning that only a limited number of copies were ever pressed up. In its original vocal mix form ‘Tengo La Sangre Caliente’ blurs the boundaries between Euro-synth-pop, colourful Italo-house and Italo-disco. It’s good, but the accompanying instrumental mix is even better. Over on the flip, Castro delivers two killer re-edits: an extra-percussive version that emphasises the more house and Flamenco-inspired elements of the 1990 original (‘Tengo Las Castanetas Caliente’), and a sweat-soaked ‘beats’ version for those who like getting busy in the mix. – Juno
