Veteran DJ/ Remixer/ Rollerskate champ Danny Krivit did a near perfect edit of the track "You Got Me Running" by Lenny Williams as featured on James Murphy and Pat Mahoney's (LCD Soundsystem) new FabricLive Mix. I put it back to back with the original recording from '78 so you can see for yourselves the difference a good disco edit really makes. The original version is excellent but it suffers from a long winded arrangement. Krivit's edit kicks off with a pumped up bass loop culled from nearly six minutes into the original track and stays in high gear all the way to the finish.

thanks for putting these tracks side by side, and i couldn't agree more about the importance of a good edit.
