Since Defected's Glitterbox has thus far done a great job in joining the dots between disco's past and present, it's little surprise to find that their first vinyl compilation takes the same approach. It contains a mixture of must-have, stone-cold classics (Richie Havens, Chic, John Luongo's fantastic mix of Patti Labelle's "Music is My Way of Life", Gino Soccio's fabulous "Dancer"), lesser-known interpretations of old school bangers (see KCC's late '90s disco-house remix of Whitney Houston's "It's Not Right But It's OK") and a solitary contemporary revivalist disco cut by the Shapeshifters. It's all solid gold, of course, with the ace club mix of the Staple Singers' cover of "Slippery People" and Hot Chocolate's heavy "Heaven Is In the Backseat of My Cadillac" (famously once re-edited by the Revenge) standing out.
