From the mind of Philadelphia legend Del Jones, the jazz-funk musician and social justice activist behind 'Positive Vibes' and 'The Court Is Closed', comes a cult favorite finally getting it's due. Originally released on CD in 1999, 'Dance of 'De Elder' is a late-career epic where Jones' unmistakable vocals and undeniable funk deliver his signature blend of history, justice, and Afrocentrism to reinforce his timeless command: 'DANCE // RESPECT YOURSELF.' This 12-inch marks the track's debut on wax and features five remixes for today's dancefloors. Lil Dave lifts the song into an uptempo, deep and soulful house jam, Pheels flips the vocals over a heavy, psychedelic and percussive dub, Sweater adds bright, crescending synths that revive Jones' chorus as a joyful decree, Universal Cave offer an extended, dubbed out, late night acid excursion, and Street Orchestra dials in a knocking MPC beat mix that could have fit right at home on the original release. When we found a copy of the 'Dance Of 'De Elder' CD, the title track quickly became a Universal Cave crew anthem that we played every chance we got. Early doors, end of night, looped over party tracks, we couldn't get enough of it and knew it had to get out to a wider audience. We hope this release helps get Jones' music and message out to DJs and dancers worldwide.Tracklisting:A1. Lil Dave 215 RemixA2. Pheels Respect DubA3. Original VersionB1. Sweater RemixB2.
