‘Another Lover’ (Rogue FX Remix) – MCL & Maria Geo

Rogue FX takes on the MCL & Maria Geo classic ‘Another Lover’ and transforms the original 90s house banger into a radiant nu-disco groove that immediately calls for mirror balls and sweaty dance floors. Where the original worked with its typical house punch, Rogue FX relies on a luxurious, almost cinematic sound palette. The Philly strings glide through the mix like silk ribbons. Meanwhile, funky guitar licks and a wonderfully bouncy slap bass provide the rhythmic backbone. These elements come across as a loving, modern reinterpretation of disco heritage – warm, lively, organic. The disco grooves roll through the track with a naturalness that immediately gets your hips moving. At the centre, however, is Maria, whose emotional vocal delivery shines even more brightly here than in the original. Her voice floats above the arrangement, sometimes vulnerable, sometimes powerful, and takes on a new, almost glamorous dimension thanks to the nu-disco production. Rogue FX knows how to frame her performance rather than cover it up – like a spotlight that comes on at just the right moment. The result is a nu-disco banger of the finest kind: danceable, elegant, nostalgic and at the same time absolutely contemporary. A track that appeals to both old house heads and modern disco lovers – and proves how much life can be breathed into a well-made rework.
