OLDr “ Party Like It’s 2022”
So. As 2021 progressed we decided to advance our ambitions a bit with our first release and turn it into Party Like It’s 2022. Sure, this is only one year later but one year in a pandemic with emotions ebbing and flowing is a big deal and we felt this was better suited ( hopefully ) to genuinely moving forward with our lives. So now we have a new chapter to our story before we start releasing our new singles and and album in 2022. YAY. We cant wait. Anyway for new year we crafted an up tempo funky mix and asked long time friend Aaron McClleland to do it in his own inimitable Electric disco style.
This is the official release notes for these dance versions:
“Originally conceived, recorded and trialled during the lockdown early in 2021, OLDr’s “Party Like It’s 2021″ was slipped out as a low down funky track in June 2021 when everyone was pretty unsure of how life was still going to pan out. It was Pete Pritchard and Lance Ellington working together for the first time in a long time and they had put together an album of tracks forged from old demos that never got released and some covers they found intriguing. This was the last track they recorded and felt right even if a little outside the rest of the material. Lance and Pete made their debut album together at Jimmy Jam and Terry Lewis’ Flyte Tyme studios in Minneapolis way back in 1990. They had recorded a whole album worth of demos before being dropped by their label A&M and both Pete and Lance going their separate ways; Pete setting up the label Media Records UK and Lance continuing with his very successful singing career that continues to this day. Lance appeared on a couple of tracks released by Pete’s label but in general they followed their own paths. Lock down brought them back together again at a moment where they could focus on music in a way that had escaped them for a long time. More singles and an album are due in 2022. In the meantime here are the Dance mixes of Party Like Its 2022.”
