Stevie Nicks “Stand Back (Eli’s Disco Mix)”
Stevie Nicks’ 1983 smash “Stand Back” (from her Double Platinum-certified second solo outing, The Wild Heart) is one of those old gems that you specifically tune into all-80’s radio stations to hear.
It’s forceful attack of insistent synthesizers; the panicky keyboard squalls on the hook; the funky guitar licks leading into the third verse; Nicks’ demanding growl (plus it’s amazing Prince-inspired backstory!!): all these elements combined sum into an energetic dynamo of a record that for the length it’s played completely obliterates whatever current life worries a listener may have.
New York DJ/ producer (and blogger) Eli Escobar only elevates “Stand Back”’s greatness on this “Disco Mix” re-creation, which finds him re-editing together it’s many delicious portions for a near-eight minute long slab of dance floor ecstasy.
