Bumblebee Unlimited Lady Bug

Mixes By Larry Levan, John Morales & Frank Trimarco

Side A is the Disco Mix by John Morales and Frank Trimarco. A solid kick opens the track before Morales's trademark percussion is introduced. Then the slick bass, guitar and piano groove play alongside the innovative synth lines and drive the rhythm forward, before the addition of that simple but engaging single note piano groove... the core element of the track, and the synthesized vocal between the Lady Bug in question and the bee who's chasing her. At approximately 6m30 there is an extended build-up where each element returns before the fade.

Side B features the Disco Remix by the legendary Larry Levan. Starting with the full drums and percussion Levan adds each element at an earlier stage than the Disco Mix, so the full track, including the vocal, hits you at just over a minute and doesn't let go until the fade, giving a more intense dance floor experience.
