Walking On Sunshine

Written by the legendary Eddy Grant, this Rocker's Revenge remake led by the soulful tones of Donnie Calvin, was birthed during visits to the hallowed halls of Paradise Garage by way of Brooklyn's Music Factory record store, Intergalactic Studios in Manhattan and Blank Tape Studio for the final touches by Bob Blank, Jellybean Benitez and producer Arthur Baker.

It's summer and it's time for this classic to get a relook, this time with a pumping electric remix by Leeds new favourite sons, Yard Act, specifically James Smith, who also lends his voice to the proceedings. The group was turned on to the sunshine by Gorillaz' Remi Kabaka, while producing their sophomore album. According to Smith, this was their first exposure to Walking on Sunshine and that hearing it influenced the production on their album, which Baker contributed a remix of Trench Coat Museum for.
