Another hot Garage and Loft jam that goes seriously hard. Often overlooked when discussing West End's truly classic tracks, this criminally underrated and classy soul-funk groove is the kind we love singing a light on.

One of the coolest street-funk songs of all time. It slaps. Simple as that.

At once low key, restrained yet somehow totally explosive and sexually charged, "Hot Summer Nights" was originally released on West End Records in 1983. Love Club was an obscure one-off project fronted by Jay "Mixin'" Dixon, a DJ with a long history at NYCs Kiss FM where he played Deep House and Garage on the station's legendary master-mix show in the early 90s. The record also features a powerful, uncredited guest turn by vocalist Dana West, assisted by some top shelf studio personnel manning the boards.

A slick, synth heavy, futuristic sounding production, its sultry vocals extoll the virtues of eyes meeting across the dance-floor of an unknown discotheque on a sticky summer night. It's stellar electro-disco bliss that even features a rapped verse from Dixon - just on the right side of cheesy - midway through the track.

Flip it over to side B for the instrumental mix / dub where the spacious, stripped back groove really comes to life.
