Dan Hartman

Dan first hit the disco scene in 1978 with the amazingly danceable "Instant replay"; it's a great disco track, and reached the UK top 40. The 12" of this record was mixed by Tom Moulton. From the same album listen to the fantastic quarter-of-an-hour mix of "Countdown" and "This is it".

Later disco singles included "Relight my fire" and "Hands down". But the perfect disco sound is heard in the introduction to the LP version of "Relight my fire"... you'll know why it's called "Vertigo". (This track is also available much-extended on a promo-only 12").

Dan also wrote for several other artists in the 1970's, including "Love sensation" for Loleatta Holloway on the Salsoul label. Sadly, Dan is no longer with us and has gone up to the big disco in the sky.
