4 hero remix of "sexual healing" on bbradio

Anj has been telling me to send her some links to mixes that she can listen to at work. Finally sent her a handful of links. The full list is below, but I wanted to single out one link in particular. This edition of Broken Beat Radio, which includes a characteristically sublime 4 Hero remix of Marvin's "Sexual Healing" (about 13 minutes into the mix).

There's been a lot of remixing and recontextualizing of Marvin lately. There was a remix of "Let's Get It On" discussed in this Slate piece, which I previously blogged here;(don't sleep on that 1984 W. Kim Heron piece either); and the "duet" with Marvin that Erick Sermon put out a few years ago. I never pass up a chance to blog a Mark Anthony Neal essay--so here's his Critical Noire piece on it:

CRITICAL NOIRE
The E-Double and the Trouble Man: Marvin Gaye and Erick Sermon "Turn on Some Music"
by Mark Anthony Neal
[30 August 2001]

(I previously blogged Neal's pieces here, as well as a couple other places on the old blog; do a search for "Neal.")

Here's the full list of sites I sent to Anj:
