"Take Me" by Phil Fuldner
Curator: Austin Meyer Whitlock

Genre: #nudisco
Growing up, my dad always loved this real odd, albeit stupid-funny movie called Mystery Men. Debuting in 1999, starring Ben Stiller and William H. Macy, the movie featured a ragtag bunch of wannabe superheroes that band together to thwart the return of an evil villain called Casanova Frankenstein and his band of Disco-fueled henchmen. In it, there’s a scene where Casanova has been granted his freedom from prison after decades of detainment and rejoins with his crew “The Disco Boys.” As he is walking around his old lair, Casanova remarks to Tony P, the leader of his henchmen, “It must have been hard for you, Tony, the way times and styles have changed... hearing the people say that disco is dead…” Tony P snaps back “Disco is not dead! Disco is LIFE!”
While there are so many well known disco records that have stood the test of time, there are many more that came and went, only to sit on dusty record shelves across the world. Luckily, we’ve seen a bit of a vinyl revival of late, and with that comes some re-discoveries. Falling firmly in that realm is Mary Clark’s “Take Me I’m Yours.” Originally released in 1980 by the little known New York record label “La Shawn records. Since its original printing on 12” vinyl, estimates are that no more than 200 copies of the original exist.
In comes Phil Fuldner, German-born DJ and Producer why an ear for talent. Fuldner is no stranger to the disco sound as showcased in his suave super stylized house tracks. But perhaps none take the cake like his recent release of “Take Me,” which breathes new life into the original track by Mary Clark. The additions and changes to the track are subtle and smooth, speeding up the beat from a foot-tapping 107 BPM to the full groove of 122. On top of that he amplifies the rich vocals of Mary Clark herself and adds some other flair in the form of fades, stutters and added drumlines. While some could argue that there may not be enough differentiation between “Take Me,” and the original, this release showcases a masterful take on the long-forgotten track to the point where Mary Clark can live on through this definitive version.
Now thinking about it, I have no doubt that we’d find one of those 200 original pressings sitting on the record shelf in the old Disco Room of Frankenstein’s lair.
