    I love Heartbeat in it’s original form by Taana Gardner but this remix from 2001 is pretty darn cool. It’s much more sped up so it’s not as mellow as the original is so it’s more geared for the club floor. Heartbeat was originally released in 1981 off of West End Records and it’s still pretty darn cool. It’s so laidback and chill but very early 1980s disco. Worth it if you disco lovers have never heard of. Heartbeat and Work That Body are the only hits Taana Gardner is known so she had a small career in disco music. Taana Gardner has worked with some very legendary folks from that era including Larry Levan and Dr. Buzzard’s Original Savannah Band.

    This remix of Heartbeat is part of a disc called Dance For Life West End Records Celebrates the 10th Anniversary of LIFEbeat. It’s def worth owning as there are new remixes of old West End Records classics including an Angel Moraes remix of Work That Body by Taana Gardner. Check it out!

  2. Watch My Mouth by Cazwell

    Hey I love this track Watch My Mouth by Cazwell. They’ve taken Taana Gardner’s Hearbeat and sampled perfectly in this Cazwell track. I think it works quite well. Even though the original Taana Gardner version is very downtempo I like the way in the Cawell track it’s sped up just the right amount. Check the two out see what I mean. Links below.

    The Taana Gardner original is now a disco classic that I listen to still. I discovered it late. It’s not hit that it could have been like you know the typical disco hits that everyone listens to by Gloria Gaynor, Chic and Village People. This Taana Garnder Heartbeat track is more underground and was released by the legendary the indie label West End Records. It’s a classic masterpiece!
