1gnition 'Secret Sunday Lover' [Greg Wilson Version]

Greg Wilson - Credit To The Edit Vol.2 (Tirk - 2009)
This was originally issued back in 2007, and went on to be one of the biggest tracks of the year for me. Although it was credited as ‘Greg Wilson Edit’, going by the definition I gave in the sleevenotes it was very much a ‘version’, as I worked from the individual stems in putting it together. I centred things around the infectious guitar riff that put me in mind of Chic and, as they didn’t quite hit the spot for me, decided not to use any of the vocal. I also built in what we used to call a ‘DJ trap’ back when I started out - this occurs when, around two thirds of the way through, the track appears to abruptly end…….before kicking back in two bars later, just as the people who aren’t familiar with it are thinking the DJ totally has messed up, whilst, at the same time, the DJ, having forgotten all about the drop out, goes into sheer panic having not got around to cuing up another record. All good fun!
After it was finished there was a concern that the label, All Out War, might be beaten to the punch by Columbia Records, who had signed up the vocalist, Ali Love, and recorded their own version, but all was sorted out in the end and both singles were released in 07.
A London based project led by Marcus J Knight and Eon, 1gnition suffered a devastating blow last June when Eon (Ian Loveday) sadly died, following complications with pneumonia - he was 54 years old. Starting out as a producer during the Rave era, Eon recorded under a number of aliases (Ian B, Ian Beta, Eon, Minimal Man and Rio Rhythm Band amongst them). He also deejayed at some key London clubs of the 80’s, including the Mud Club, Shoom, Pyramid and Clink Street, before becoming resident for Planet Love at Brixton Fridge. A website has been set up in his memory: www.ianloveday.com
Written and Produced by Marcus J Knight and Eon
