In support of the feature-length documentary ‘Teddy Pendergrass –
If You Don’t Know Me’, Mixmag presents ‘Teddy Pendergrass:
The Remixes. Featuring contributions from the foremost figures in the global
electronic music scene Jamie Jones, Damian Lazarus, DJ Pierre, Francesca
Lombardo and Cassy. 

Throughout the EP, selections from Teddy Pendergrass’ timeless catalogue
are reimagined through an electronic lens. Opening the release is the first
single out today, Jamie Jones’ remix of ‘Life is a Song Worth
Singing’. Faithful to the feel-good essence of the original track,
Jamie’s delivers a rippling and synth-based interpretation. 

Damian Lazarus manipulates the raspy tones Teddy was famed for on ‘I
Don’t Love You Anymore’,building an ambient disco groove around
sparse vocal lines. DJ Pierre tackles the gem ‘The More I Get, The More I
Want’ from TP’s celebrated first album. ‘Do Me’, a
signature record that solidified Pendergrass’ sex symbol status receives
rhythmic yet subdued rework courtesy of Francesca Lombardo. Cassy’s remix
of ‘Only You’ substitutes its funky roots in favour of a thumping
and bass-driven affair ready to set any dancefloor alight. 

‘Teddy Pendergrass – If You Don’t Know Me’ chronicles
the life and career of one of the soul music’s most cherished acts. As
one of the first African-American artists to churn out four consecutive platinum
albums, Teddy Pendergrass was undeniably on the brink of a superstardom that
would rival the likes of Marvin Gaye, Barry White and Issac Hayes. Through
interviews with family, friends and colleagues the biopics tells the story of
his rise to fame within the complexities of 1960s America, his tragic fall and
his triumphant comeback. 

Producer of the documentary, Piers Tempest commented: “Teddy’s
story is an important and ultimately inspiring one and we are delighted to help
shine a light on the man and his music”. With this remix package, Mixmag
and this all-star roster of producers further consolidate Teddy’s
enduring impact on music history.
