Fever - Standing In The Shadows Of Love (12'' Mix) 7.06 (1978) Patrick Joseph Cowley (October 19, 1950 – November 12, 1982) was an American disco and Hi-NRG dance music composer and recording artist. Along with Giorgio Moroder, he often is credited as a pioneer of electronic dance music. During his teenage years, Cowley became a successful drummer with local amateur bands before attending Niagara University and later the University at Buffalo to study English. In 1971, at the age of 21, Cowley moved to San Francisco to attend the City College of San Francisco (CCSF) where he studied music, specifically the use of synthesizers. Cowley met San Francisco-based musician Sylvester in 1978. Sylvester had asked Cowley to join his studio band after hearing some of his early synthesizer recordings. He played synthesizer on Sylvester's 1978 album Step II which included the hits "You Make Me Feel (Mighty Real)" and "Dance (Disco Heat)". In addition, he wrote "Stars" and "I Need Somebody to Love Tonight" from his 1979 album Stars. Cowley also joined Sylvester's live band and joined him on several world tours. Cowley's own hits included "Menergy" in 1981, a frank celebration of the gay club scene, and "Megatron Man", which hit #1 and #2 respectively on the Billboard Hot Dance Music/Club Play chart in 1981. That same year, Patrick Cowley was celebrated at the Menergy parties at The EndUp in San Francisco. He also wrote and produced the dance single "Right on Target" for San Francisco artist Paul Parker, which reached #1 on the Billboard dance chart in 1982. "Do Ya Wanna Funk", a collaboration with Sylvester, made #4 on the Billboard dance chart that same year. Cowley also did a 15'45" long remix of Donna Summer's "I Feel Love", which is now a collector's item. Mind Warp, his final album, was composed as he felt the increasing effects of HIV infection, and its songs reflect his increasing detachment from conventional reality as the disease progressed. During a world tour with Sylvester in late 1981, Cowley complained of feeling increasingly unwell. Upon returning to the United States, he visited a doctor who diagnosed food poisoning. Weeks later, with his condition only worsening, doctors again failed to identify what was wrong with him. At this early stage in the history of the HIV and AIDS, misdiagnosis was common and so Cowley, who was gay, was discharged from the hospital (in 1982) after doctors could do nothing more for him. Cowley died at his home in the Castro District neighbourhood in San Francisco on November 12, 1982. He was 32 years old, an early victim of AIDS. A couple of tracks were completed for a planned Sarah Dash album that year, which was cut short by Cowley's death. Despite never fully achieving mainstream commercial success, Cowley is nevertheless regarded as a pioneer of early electronic music and the creator of Hi-NRG, an uptempo strain of disco. Various 1980s artists such as Pet Shop Boys and New Order have cited his influence as a producer. Cowley has been described as "a musical pioneer whose achievements rippled throughout queer culture and beyond into the disco mainstream". Since the 2010s, Cowley's profile has risen as "listeners and scholars excavate disco's intersection with gay liberation." Amid the accompanying emergence of nu-disco in the late 2000s and early 2010s, profiles of Cowley across social media and other high-profile outlets have contributed to a resurgence of interest in his work.

CafΓ© SocietyπI'm On The Loose (12'' Vocal & 12'' Dub Mix) 1985 Hi-NRGπΊItalo Disco Eurobeat 80s RARE "Hard-To-Find" DJ PROMO ONLY HQ WAV
CafΓ© Society, a mostly studio band, were a successful South African dance act of the mid-80s.
The band was the brainwave of multi-instrumentalist/singer and producer Costa Anadiotis, formerly of "Fantasy", the late 70s disco rock band.
The first song to be produced was a cover of Jefferson Airplane's "Somebody to Love" in 1984, using the vocals of Julia Jade Aston.
The song was received well internationally (released worldwide by Passion Records UK) because of its Hi-NRG-driven baseline popular at the time.
The band and their S.A. record company wanted the next release to be an original composition, "I'm On The Loose".
Passion Records UK wanted another dance hit cover, and went with "Relight My Fire"
("I'm On The Loose" was not released)
The Dan Hartman song "Relight My Fire", which utilized the vocals of Lolly Peterson and Anneline Malebo.
Released in the UK, Germany, Mexico and S.A. Other than being a dance hit in Mexico, the song received mediocre response, but featured worldwide on many compilation albums,
Then in 1985 when the Video Kids refused to release their song "Woodpeckers From Space" in South Africa due to the political situation in the country at the time,
Costa Anadiotis decided to release his own unique version under the banner of CafΓ© Society.
"Woodpeckers from Space" was a Number 1 hit in South Africa in July 1985 and stayed on the Top 20 for 19 weeks, 8 of which were at the Number 1 position.
CafΓ© Society released only one album, “Relight My Fire”, in 1985.
The Extended Vocal version of "I'm On The Loose" was included on this album, and features Penny Lane on vocals.

π Song Lyrics - CafΓ© Society - I'm On The Loose
Now..That the Week has reached the end
I'm ready for action
Now..That the Weekend is at hand
I need satisfaction
I work hard all day
I'm on my way
I'm gonna have some fun (fun fun)
CHORUS
'Cos I'm On The Loose
I'm On The Loose
I'm On The Loose Tonight
Take Me To The Neon Light
Yes, I'm On The Move
I'm On The Loose Tonight
Take Me To The Neon Light
I'll never be the one they call 'Society Lady'
I'm.. not a ashamed to be sometimes
Just kind of crazy
And I know somewhere
You're waiting there
Waiting Just For Me! (me me)
CHORUS x2
(INSTRUMENTAL BREAKDOWN)
I.. wanna dance the night away
My Music's inside me
I'm.. gonna wipe out clouds of grey
With You Beside Me
'Cos I know somewhere
You're waiting there
Waiting Just For Me! (me me)
CHORUS x2
I was standing back to wait
for some reaction
I'm gonna go for it right now
I need satisfaction
I work hard all day
I'm on my way
I'm gonna have some fun (fun fun)
CHORUS x2
