Sgt Slick Brings His Nu Disco Sound To Strings Of Life
Chart-topping Australian electronic artist Sgt Slick has once again demonstrated his innovative prowess in the electronic music sphere with a vibrant rework of the iconic Strings Of Life / Un Amore Supremo by renowned duo Soul Central. This interpretation not only pays homage to the original but also showcases Slick’s trademark Nu Disco sound, ingeniously crafted for today’s dance floors.
The newly released track features two versions from Sgt Slick, the Sgt Slick Remix and Sgt Slick Dub. Each rendition brings its unique flavor while preserving the infectious energy and essence that made the original a club classic. By combining driving basslines, electrifying beats, and an uplifting sense of euphoria, Sgt Slick’s remix feels simultaneously timeless and fresh, making it a must-have addition for any DJ’s playlist.
The Honor of Reimagining a Classic
Sgt Slick expresses the significance of covering such a monumental track, stating, “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.” His reverence for the original shines through in this rework, ensuring its emotional depth resonates with long-time fans while captivating a new generation of listeners.
Momentum Builds for Sgt Slick
Following a successful 2025, which marked the biggest year of his career as a DJ and producer, this rework aligns perfectly with the rising momentum of Sgt Slick’s artistic journey. He achieved six Overall #1 hits on Traxsource, including the popular Make It Happen, a standout release of the year. His notable remix of Enjoy The Silence by Depeche Mode gained worldwide acclaim and became a staple in clubs, particularly in Ibiza, backed by support from electronic music heavyweights like Jamie Jones, Diplo, and David Guetta.
Two Decades of Dance Influence
With over two decades of contributions to electronic dance music, Sgt Slick has built an impressive catalogue filled with #1 hits across various platforms including Billboard, Music Week, and ARIA. His collaborations with prestigious labels like Ultra, Positiva, Toolroom, and Def Jam have further solidified his status in the industry. Accumulating more than 200 million streams worldwide, his music has proven not only to resonate but to transcend geographical boundaries.
Perhaps one of his most notable achievements is the ARIA Gold certified rework of ABBA’s Gimme! Gimme! Gimme!, which became Beatport’s highest-selling Nu Disco release of all time in 2020. The track’s position in the charts for several years is a testament to his ability to transform iconic records into contemporary dance floor hits.
The Legacy of Strings Of Life
Originally, Soul Central rose to prominence with their anthem Strings Of Life (Stronger On My Own), featuring the powerful vocals of Kathy Brown. The track enjoyed significant acclaim and even earned the prestigious title of the fourth greatest dance record ever by BBC Radio 1 listeners in 2008. This accolade places it right alongside monumental compositions from legends like Michael Jackson and Donna Summer.
Recently, the legacy of Strings Of Life was reignited with a modern rework by Bart Skils and Weska, released through Adam Beyer’s Drumcode. The original’s enduring appeal continues to inspire new interpretations, with widespread support from industry figures like Carl Cox and Jamie Jones.
In anticipation of the new remix, Soul Central expressed their enthusiasm: “We’re really looking forward to Slick’s remix dropping. As long-term friends and fans of his productions, it’s incredible to see his interpretation of one of the biggest hits in house music.”
