#DiggingInTheShelves No. 33 Vernon & DaCosta - On Fire A Second Smell (2008) https://www.discogs.com/release/1432213 Belgian house tools on a cheekily named (pun very much intended) sublabel of Aroma. I was buying a ton of 12"s like this in '07-09. "On Fire" is basically an edit of "Nights" by Billy Ocean. I like the original and recall getting some mileage out of this. Thanks to the gimmick-free production, I feel it could even work in today's house sets without sounding too antiquated. "Last Night Was Crazy" goes down the route of chopped-up jazz samples in the then-new-school Chicago style. Much more a product of it's time and a tad too cheesy. I like the sax breakdowns though. Decent but not remarkable, some degree of contemporary DJ use potential in one of the tunes. It's OK. Selected: On Fire https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D77E-HueV30
