Alice Russell: Living The Life Of A Dreamer (Mr. Scruff Remix)
From Pot Of Gold Remixes Vol. 1 (Six Degrees, 2009)

Recently I heard this tasty little gem by UK chanteuse Alice Russell, who has garnered all sorts of comparisons to other blue-eyed soulsters. The beat itself was constructed by her fellow British comrade Mr. Scruff and is featured on one of the remix suites to last year's Pot Of Gold album. The new remix suites are available now digitally or on December 15th in 2-CD physical format.

With its groove-heavy disco funk that replaces the original's jittery backbeat, Russell sings with an impassioned urgency. The track spins for a lengthy 8 minutes with long breaks that extend throughout in multiple spots. It's sure to find its way into your local club DJ's sets with a groove like this that is so hard to deny.
