WHAT THE D.J. NEWS INSERT HAD TO SAY ABOUT THE MEGAMIX ON THIS RELEASE:
Tom Savarese presented the world premiere of MUSIQUE's "In The Bush" way back when on Volume 1, Program 12. Four weeks later it hit the charts at #34, and rose to #1 over the following nine weeks. Francois Dubonnet remixed the original tracks, which became the disco favorite, and an edited version is now getting serious radio play throughout the country. John Benitez's new version probably won't get played on the radio, but will give you some new tricks to throw at your audience giving a truly great song some new twists. John began spinning in January, 1975. He's a 21 year old Scorpio, and currently plays at the Barefoot Boy and Fifth Avenue, DISCONET's newest Big Apple subscriber. He is studying marketing and sales promotion at Bronx Community College, says that Cerrone is his favorite artist, Walter Gibbons and Tony Smith his favorite DJs, and Bob Viteritti's "Dance and Feel Medley" his favorite DISCONET side. In addition to doing the "In The Bush" medley for this DISCONET program, John just completed the mix of "Dance It Freestyle" by Mantus, which will be coming out on SMI Records. The medley also stars a powerhouse flashback to Montreal Sound's "Music", which was one of Summer 77's hottest disco songs.
