DMB feat. Mary Jane Girls [2024] - ALL NITE LONG [ESOP]

The Mary Jane Girls' biggest UK hit, "All Night Long", peaking at #13 on UK pop chart in July 1983, is the subject of the latest remix by DMB (Do More Bass) who seemed to emerge last year and now have around 25 remixes to their name.

The Mary Jane Girls started out as Rick James' backing singers in 1979 and eventually became a group in their own right releasing two albums on Motown in 1983 and 1985 respectively. They achieved eight R&B chart hits in that time with "In My House" being their biggest stateside (#3 R&B / #7 Hot 100) and "All Night Long" in the UK.

DMB [2023] - Remind Me [ESOP]

We're not sure who DMB (it translates to Do More Bass) is but is presumably a DJ/producer and more than likely UK based. He/she/they released a remix of Mica Paris' "Love U 2 Nite" in Feb and return with a new version of Patrice Rushen's "Remind Me" ("Straight From The Heart" 1982) today.

A few other version that we know of include  Candy McKenzie in 1983 (which was reissued in 2022), Jammin Jeff in Feb '22 and Butcher Brown & Alex Isley did a version in Oct '21.

DMB Feat. Mica Paris [2023] - Luv U 2nite [ESOP]

Spot the sample time! A new single out today from DMB featuring Mica Paris which has been titled "Luv U 2nite" (a nod to her "If I Luv U 2 Nite" track from her 1990 album "Contribution"). 

It has been 'mashed up' with The O'Jay's "Darlin' Darlin' Baby (Sweet, Tender, Love)" (1976). The Mica Paris song was also released as a single with a "Nellee's Club U 2 Nite Mix" which is more than likely the version used. 

An intriguing combination, but it seems to work! I've no idea who DMB is/are but they only have three tracks available, all released today. The other two appear to be original songs.

UPDATE: The song was written by Prince and Leigh 'The Flava' Taylor informs us that a Prince demo version was mistakenly pressed on one of the Mica Paris UK promos which isn't listed on Discogs ... so perhaps worth a few bob? Prince's version was released posthumously on "Blast From The Past 5.0" in 2017 (and perhaps others) now included below.
