Few reworkers/editors have had an impact on my playlists than Lup Ino. With an uncanny attention for detail, and a proper knack for integrating a house based anchor in his reworks, he’s been at the very top of the heap of his class for years.
Here he houses up Con Funk Shun’s By Your Side.
Con Funk Shun, at that strange hinge-time between the 70s burn and the 80s sheen — Vallejo’s velvet funk machine easing off the brass-knuckled club punch and into a cooler, candlelit pulse.
By Your Side is the sweet-spot moment — that mid-tempo glide where Felton Pilate reminds you that real intimacy isn’t fireworks, it’s oxygen.
Not the jittery infatuation of the disco floor — but the after.
It spins like a private promise — synth pads that feel like new leather seats, bassline with its shirt half-unbuttoned, horns arriving like a velvet curtain parting at just the right time.
Love not as fever — but as a calm directive:
Slow down.
Exhale.
I’m here.
Lup Ino folds the whole thing into a soft-focus contemporary glide — clean lines, modern chassis, effortless posture. Don’t miss!
