Download: Prince - "Controversy (Johnny Bootleg's Nude Mood Update)"

Okay, guys, you have to understand something.  Everyone in the known world has their own reason for loving Prince songs.  You know you do and we know we do.  So when we got an email from our dear friend and DJ Gavin Royce about a new treatment he and his friend Arvin did of the track "Controversy", it sort of called into question what the reason is.  It didn't make us question whether or not we love Prince songs, but the remix itself is so dense and disco, where the original is a slow-burning, sexed-up jam, we had to evaluate if that reason stayed the same.  Now, bear in mind that we've been waiting for what feels like eons for Gavin to send us tracks (dude's promised us pretty much every time we seen him).  And this track delivers.  And even though he may be getting a message from us soon about how the moniker "Johnny Bootleg" may not be the best-fitting glass slipper, we are totally on the level with him about why he chose to re-touch this song.  Gavin told us, "We set out to do a party track and not reinvent the wheel.  We just put an old school house kick loop behind the track and got a little fancy with the arrangement.  I always loved the chorus of the original but it never seemed to be long enough for me so I did a really long chorus section."
