Van Helder is back on THE DOCKING STATION but this time without the aid of DJ Barletta. Although I have heard those two are working on another collaboration with each other, Van Helder has send us a new original funk/disco track and a disco remix.
The funky original ‘CTD’ features a very “French touch” bass line and bongos. The track takes a very minimalistic approach to dance music and utilizes few sounds well. Although perhaps not the best track for listening to by itself, when applied properly in a similar genre-specific mix.. the effect could be perfect.

Helder’s remix of Jensen Sportag follows the same style as CTD as it strips down to the bare essentials. The original version of ‘Jackie’ is a hyphy space-aged disco theme some with unintelligible lyrics. The remix follows the same suit but adds those nasty synths and glitches the vocals… making them even more difficult to understand.

That is not an official remix of Jackie, its a bootleg edit of Mapquest.

it’s definitely Jackie. this was sent to us by Ms. Helder herself.
as for bootleg, ya probably. smaller artists do that.
