Classic tune gets an exciting new sound from disco producer to create dancefloor magic
JOCELYN Brown’s 1982 Salsoul classic, ‘I Like It Like That’, gets an exciting re-vibe from UK premiere Disco House producer, Michael Gray.
This hails another stellar release for Toolroom Records’ Mark Knight’s off shoot label, Fool's Paradise, which has become a beacon for innovative new music and timeless classics, revitalized for today’s listeners.
Having received great acclaim with his smash remix of Raw Silk’s ‘Do It To The Music’ earlier this year on Fool’s Paradise, Full Intention producer, Michael brings his magnetic dance floor magic once again to the label.
We caught up with Michael and asked him to put together a playlist of disco classics starting with his new remix. Listen to the music and read what he had to say below.
Inner Life feat Jocelyn Brown - I Like It Like That (Michael Gray Remix) Fool’s Paradise / Salsoul Records
I always loved the original Shep Pettibone mix of this. It was great to get my hands on the parts to make this new Remix.
Unlimited Touch - I Hear Music In The Streets (Michael Gray Remix) Prelude / Kookoo Records
I remixed this about 4 years ago and last month it was finally given a full release. It was a real joy to work on this classic and I am already seeing great reactions in clubs. Check out the Dub too!
Saturday Night Band - Come On dance, Dance (Dave Lee Disco Mix) Unidisc Records
I love the energy in this one, it just makes you want to go out on a Saturday night and party! Another top remix from Dave!

Shelia B. Devotion - Spacer (Dave Lee Remix) Z Records
A great rework from Dave allowing us DJ’s to easily mix this hooky 70’s iconic Nile Rogers and Bernard Edwards written song into our sets.
Cheryl Lynn - Got To Be Real (John Morales M+M Mix) BBE Records
There are so many excellent remixes I could choose from John who has a producing and remixing career spanning back to the 70’s, but I decided on this one because I love it.
Linx - You’re Lying (Dr Packer Remix) Chrysalis Records
This record was always one of my fav 80’s tunes, once again Dr Packer brings it perfectly up to date.
MFSB - Love is the message (Michael Gray Remix) Philadelphia International Records
I remixed this one just to play out, particularly towards the end of my sets. A full of love anthem which always gets the dance floor going.
Mc Fadden & Whitehead - Ain’t No Stoppin’ Us Now (The Reflex Revision) Philadelphia International Records
I love the way this builds in a cool way, a proper party tune and cleverly done.
Sylvester - You Make Me Feel (Mighty Real) (Michael Gray Remix) Sultra / Fantasy Records
This is without doubt one of the most classic electronic sounding songs of the 70’s.
I was lucky enough to get my hands on the multitrack about 4 years ago and then license my remix to my Sultra label. An absolute pleasure to work on.
Raw Silk - Do It To The Music (Michael Gray Remix) Fool’s Paradise / West End Records
This is a classic from Ron Dean Miller and mixed by music legends Nick Martinelli & David Todd. I brought the tempo up so it could be dropped in house clubs I DJ in. I reworked the drums and arrangement keeping the spirit of what was already a classic mix.
