  • BBE have revealed details of a forthcoming Pal Joey retrospective. As Spin report, the career-spanning Pal Joey Presents Hot Music compilation pulls together 23 tracks from the New York deep house producer's archives. Like so many of his colleagues from the era, Joseph Longo worked under a web of aliases, including Pal Joey, Soho, Earth People and DreamHouse, all of which are represented on the compilation. Most of the material has been drawn from from Longo's own Loop-D-Loop imprint, though several other New York/New Jersey labels, such as Kool Groove, Liquid Music and Jazz Club, are also represented. Spin spoke to BBE co-chief Lee Bright, who said: "I don't know why [Pal Joey] hasn't got iconic status, but it's tragic, because I think he has an amazing talent, which will probably shine brighter and brighter as people discover him." You can listen to one of Pal Joey's better-known tracks, "Party Time," via the YouTube player below:
