Divine – Native Love

In the early 80s Divine’s run of Italo and Hi-NRG-styled club tracks were certified bombs, with her tongue in cheek drawl throwing all kinds of shade across some gauche interpretations of the big arps and drum machine sequences of the era. ‘Native Love’ is surely one of the finest of the tracks from Divine’s canon, and who better to remix it than a true titan of the times, Ben Liebrand. The Dutch producer’s work was hugely influential during those breakthrough years for dance music, and his two versions of ‘Native Love’ are authoritative slammers that will still set ablaze any dancefloor you care to throw them at.
