i'm at a work computer so i can't listen but i imagine if it's early 80s boogie it might be derrick harriot??

check the dj dimitri / joey negro compilation that came out called "kings of disco"

It's not that one unfortunately. This one has got more of a slick electronic funk treatment. If I recall correctly the Harriot one had more of a live sound.

It's Map Of Africa, isn't it?

are disco edits the new electroclash?

have you listened to either the Map of Africa or the mix posted upthread? it's totally not the same song. the MoA is like a rock song and this is an early 80s electro version.

i don't have the Derrick Harriot version to double check, but this review REALLY makes it sound like it's the one you're looking for

Ok I am home now and have dug out the Negro CD to double check. I was wrong, it was the Harriot version. I have no idea why I was so sure it wasn't this version, I really remembered it being more rock-ish, like the Map of Africa one. But anyway, track ID solved!
