Deadly Avenger - King Tito's Gloves - Derrick Carter's Totally Digital Disco Remake
Hinkley’s favourite son, Damon Baxter aka. Deadly Avenger returns with some very special remixes of the track that helped put him on the map.
‘King Tito’s Gloves’, with its horn hooks and percussive breakdowns, beat the dancefloor into submission when it first appeared last year and has never looked back. Its distinctive groove uniting alternative and House dancefloors alike and appearing in the record boxes of the great and the good. It wasn’t long before Derrick Carter called up Damon and asked for a chance to give ‘King Tito’s Gloves’ one of his notorious Totally Digital Disco Remakes. Inject a bit of Boompty Boomp into proceedings.

Reviews
DJJust a guess from Deadly's previous form 'the orginal isn't here' but chances are 'King Tito's Gloves' used to be a breakbeat affair. Not of that in evidence here as Derrick Carter turns it Totally Digital Disco for a 'Remake' and a 'Regroove'. There is nothing intellectual or challenging here this time, this is Carter working all out to get the floor going. Straight out funky, with pianos and guitars and percussion thrown into the mix at just the right balance. Derrick goes 'big club'. 4/5

It's lucky everyone loves Derrick Carter because the nam gets no rest. Here he has a crack at the Deadly Avenger's finest moment and turns in a typically devastating treatment. Riffing disco guitars and a stomping badass bass give rise to some unmissable prime time havoc that'll keep the faithful more than happy. 4/5

Damon Baxter's '70's, sample-laden, boogie wonderland was always ripe for one of the Chi-one's Totally Digital Disco Remakes. In fact it's got two. Part one is full of neck-popping bass and sweeping disco strings, but it's part two which really hits the mark with it's melty pianos and Chris Nazuka's plucky guitars. Digital Disco? Couldn't put it better myself. 4/5

I can't find the original on vinyl so let's concentrate on Derrick Carter's rocking remix. It's pretty standard stuff for house music's Mr rock 'n' roll, with a fairly obvious disco loop bent around Carter's clipped beats and synths in a typical DC style. Not rocket science, but fans of Derrick's clicky disco will lap it up.
