Cape Town - Strange Loving and Gallo Records have released a reworked version of Sipho Hotstix Mabuse's classic Burnout.
The track first became one of the first major crossover hits in South Africa in the early 1980s, selling more than 500 000 copies.
A spur of the moment idea, sparked by a friend who thought it would be a great idea to revive an old classic from the past, Strange Loving was inspired by the 90s Daft Punk method of production to rework this 80s release into a silky offering with a hint of seductive flavour.
Listen to the original track here:
Featuring their own edgy mass appeal style heard on previous Strange Things radio singles, at first they were not expecting Hotstix to approve their version, but were delighted when he did.
"Anyone and everyone who is a lover of classic South African music would be able to identify with our version of Burnout, and hopefully our release of it as official single starts a revival of this old classic for today's youth!"
Here's a teaser:
