| Now 24 years after the death of Atmosfear's Andy Sojka, the "Dancing In Outer Space" multi-track has been found in his garage. |
Here's the scoop from Mr. Bongo...
A piece of dance music history right here! The original multitrack for Atmosfear’s iconic hit ‘Dancing In Outer Space’, recently discovered in Andy Sojka’s garage. A Brit-funk anthem recorded at Gateway Studio in Clapham, that soon took over the world.
Produced by Andy Sojka, Jerry Pike and Lester Batchelor, it went on to have global influence. Supported by the likes of Larry Levan and David Mancuso on the mythical dancefloors of Paradise Garage and The Loft, it was also expertly remixed by Masters At Work and François K.
Following the Mr Bongo reissue in 2018, we spoke to Lester on how the track was initially received, “In general people didn’t know how to respond to it because it was so different to anything else that was out at that time. It was very quiet for a few weeks following release... then suddenly all hell broke loose and everyone wanted to know who, where, what and why, and when can I get a copy!”
Have a listen to the original version of Atmosfear's "Dancing In Outer Space" followed by the popular Masters At Work and François K remixes below.
