Few records in house music carry the kind of history attached to Soul Central’s iconic “Strings Of Life / Un Amore Supremo.” Now, chart-topping Australian electronic artist Sgt Slick is giving the celebrated club classic a fresh lease on life, bringing his trademark Nu Disco sound to the record for a modern dancefloor-focused rework.
The release features two interpretations from Sgt Slick: the Sgt Slick Remix and Sgt Slick Dub. While each version approaches the original from a slightly different angle, both preserve the energy and emotional character that have made the track so recognizable. Driving drums, infectious Disco grooves and a strong sense of euphoria give the new versions a contemporary edge without losing sight of the record’s place in house music history.
Taking on a track with such a long-standing reputation is no small task, but Sgt Slick says the opportunity was one he approached with genuine appreciation for the original.
“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 honour 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.”
The remix arrives during another strong chapter in Sgt Slick’s career. 2025 became his biggest year as a DJ and producer to date, including six Overall #1s on Traxsource. Among them was “Make It Happen,” which became one of the platform’s highest-selling releases of the year.
His ReCut of Depeche Mode’s “Enjoy the Silence” also developed into a major club record, becoming one of Ibiza’s most played seasonal tracks. The release received support from Jamie Jones, Diplo, Seth Troxler, Mark Knight, Marco Carola, Fisher, CamelPhat and David Guetta, and continues to make an impact on dance floors around the world.
For Soul Central, having Sgt Slick reinterpret “Strings Of Life / Un Amore Supremo” brings another perspective to a record that has already enjoyed an unusually long life on dance floors. Matt Mckillop, Soul Central and Head of CENTRL Music, welcomed the remix:
“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. We knew he’d absolutely smash it, and he’s undoubtedly delivered a whole new flavour, perfect for the dancefloor and a surefire hit.”
With the Sgt Slick Remix and Sgt Slick Dub, “Strings Of Life / Un Amore Supremo” enters another phase of its long-running story. This time, Sgt Slick brings the warmth, groove and disco-driven energy of his signature sound to a house music classic, creating another version designed to keep the record moving on dance floors for years to come.
