Prince: Partyman (zacheser's Chub Rub Edit)
Can't believe it's been one year since Prince's death. Not to completely spiral this post but, I was at the grocery store yesterday and saw Health Ledger -- who passed away nine years ago this month -- on the cover of People. Both legends, both widely admired by all who came in contact with their talent. Case in point, D.C. based producer zacheser delivers a special ode to The High Priest of Pop in the form of a "Partyman" remix -- a song featured in the singer's 1989 Batman album. What better way to pay tribute to celebrate an artist that paved the way for so many artists and fans alike? "Young and old, gather 'round" and check out this proper disco dub, you jokers!
“If it wasn’t for artists like Prince, I don’t think I’d be as confident in my weirdness or as willing to take risks as I am. I remember always being transfixed by the song [“Partyman”], one of my first musical memories watching and re-watching the museum scene from ‘Batman’ because I loved the song so much. I’ve always felt this track has always been underrated in favor of some of his bigger hits and I felt that it was unfortunate that nobody had attempted at making a proper disco edit of this track. Obviously Prince left an impression: giving me the courage to be myself, be weird, wear make-up, and be unafraid to own my queerness.”
