This latest instalment of ARTHUR BAKER Presents DANCE MASTERS finds the production/songwriting/remixing maestro taking the spotlight for a long overdue snapshot of his own classic 12" mixes during a crucial evolution of dance music, club and pop culture. "I've always felt like I was on a mission to make music from the time I heard Motown, Philly and Sly and the Family Stone. My mission started as a hobby and still feels like one now. So many people in the business have a short memory. You've got to keep on pushing and hustling. It can be a drag sometimes but if you really love what you're doing, it's worth the work. I still really love what I do." Arthur Baker helped codify the remixer as artist. His genre fluid approach to projects has resulted in a joyous myriad of classics that spans many decades. This 80 's focused DANCE MASTERS collection offers a welcome glimpse at Baker's illustrious career and many long out of print 12" versions and previously unavailable mixes. This 35 track, six LP expanded edition version captures both the breadth and quality of Arthur Baker's production output, including a wide array of selections from the likes of Robbie Nevil's "C'est La Vie", Fleetwood Mac's "Big Love," Neneh Cherry's "Buffalo Stance", Jeffrey Osborne's "Soweto", Freeez's "I O U", Rockers Revenge's "Walking On Sunshine" and of course the juggernaut "Planet Rock" with Afrika Bambaataa & Soulsonic Force. Complete with in depth liner notes by Bill Coleman, track by track notes written by Arthur Baker himself, previously unseen session photos from Arthur's personal archives and a signed insert. All tracks remastered by Nick Robbins at Sound Mastering. 4CD and 2LP editions are also available.
