Sgt Slick Brings His Nu Disco Sound to Strings Of Life
Chart-topping Australian electronic artist Sgt Slick has unveiled a fresh and powerful interpretation of the beloved club classic, Strings Of Life / Un Amore Supremo by Soul Central. With his signature Nu Disco sound, Sgt Slick transforms this iconic track into a dynamic rework, tailored for contemporary dance floors, ensuring it resonates with both long-time fans and new listeners alike.
A Dual Take on a Classic
The new release features two distinct versions: the Sgt Slick Remix and the Sgt Slick Dub. Each reimagining retains the essence of the original while injecting vibrant, infectious energy that is a hallmark of Sgt Slick’s production style. His approach combines driving beats, euphoric melodies, and a danceable groove, distinguishing the remix as both timeless and modern.
In his own words, “Some records occupy a special place in the history of House music, and Soul Central’s Strings of Life is undoubtedly one of them. It was a massive honor to be handed the keys to such a classic and given the chance to put my own spin on a record that has meant so much to so many people.” This sentiment underscores the respect and love for the original that informs his reinterpretation.
Momentum and Recent Success
Sgt Slick’s remix comes at a pivotal time following a momentous year in his career. The year 2025 marked his biggest achievements yet as both a DJ and a producer, including six Overall #1 hits on Traxsource. Among these was Make It Happen, which became one of the year’s top-selling releases. In addition, his rework of Depeche Mode’s Enjoy the Silence dominated club scenes and was heavily supported by prominent figures in the electronic music community, including Jamie Jones, Diplo, and David Guetta.
His consistent presence on the global dance music stage has contributed to his growing reputation, evidenced by the millions of streams his tracks have accumulated across various platforms.
Celebrating Over Two Decades of Hits
With more than twenty years in the industry, Sgt Slick has created a vast and varied catalogue featuring numerous chart-topping records and remixes. His works have consistently reached the top of charts across major platforms such as Billboard, ARIA, and Beatport, with releases spanning iconic labels like Ultra, Positiva, and Spinnin’. One of his most notable achievements was the ARIA Gold certified rework of ABBA’s Gimme! Gimme! Gimme!, which became the highest-selling Nu Disco release on Beatport in 2020 and remained a chart staple for years.
This extensive experience gives him a unique edge in blending classic elements with fresh sounds, allowing him to breathe new life into established favorites.
The Legacy of Strings Of Life
Soul Central, widely recognized for their anthem Strings Of Life (Stronger On My Own) featuring Kathy Brown, has left an indelible mark on dance music. The track was voted the fourth greatest dance record by listeners of BBC Radio 1 in 2008, standing alongside timeless classics like Michael Jackson’s Billie Jean and Donna Summer’s I Feel Love.
Following the recent rework of Strings Of Life / Un Amore Supremo by Bart Skils and Weska, the song continues to resonate with both old and new audiences.
