The Shadybunch’s ‘Diva Snap’ sees Terry Farley, who is responsible for Junior Vasqueuz power plays, like the ‘8 Minutes of Madness mix of DSK ‘What Would We Do’ and the ‘Junior Style’ mix of the Happy Monday’s ‘Stinkin Thinkin’ (both of which I personally heard wreck the Factory floor), team up Horse Meat Disco resident DJ and house affiecando Severino . The idea for the track was hatched after Severino was on Horse Meat DJ duties in the Big Apple (talk about taking coals to Newcastle) and happened to meet with two vocalists with real ballroom pedigree - Paul Alexander, who is one third The Ones and the voice behind things like Size Queen’s ‘Walk!’, and Frankie Fuentes, who was responsible for original bitch track project Jack and Jill on New York’s legendary Strictly Rhythm, and the vocals on Junior Vasquez’s infamous answer phone message based ‘If Madonna Calls’. Hooking up seemed like the perfect idea - and with house lineage like this, how could they fail? The track itself draws inspiration from a short exert from US poet, teacher and gay rights activist Marlon Riggs’ 1989 film ‘Tongues United’, made at the height the AIDS crisis, which is essentially a tutorial on how to do the diva snap! But the boys build on this with thoroughbred New York vocal performances from Paul and Frankie, and Terry and Seve’s dance floor savvy shining through with crisp, snappy beats, punchy samples, and more attitude downtown queen who’s been just been told she’s got Barabra Steisand’s nose and that her wig looks like a helmet. On the flip we have The Backlash, which sees young Mister Farley team up Dan Beaumont, formerly one third of East London disco behemoth, Disco Bloodbath, but now one half of the Jam Factory, proprietor of the Kingsland Road’s hottest gay dancing spot, the Dalston Superstore, resident at Paris’ Disco Ball and one of London’s best new school house DJs.
