Carpenter was an old friend of Steve Standard’s and his mixes have a bit more kick so they sound good in a club.

The version which seems to get the most play these days is actually Kenny Carpenter’s remix of the original which came out a year or so later, and seems to be the most easy to find now. ‘Set It Off’ was such a hit that there were several other versions released by other artists, including one by a British group, Masquerade, which featured Dina Carroll on vocals. The creative differences were so strong that Gibbons put out another version of the song with the Harlequin Fours. Unfortunately, Steve Standard (the artist known as Strafe) didn’t like what Gibbons had done to his track and refused to work with him again. Maybe someone should try to uncover the rest of it and release it as ‘Set It Off, Part II’… hmm, I’ve set my mind in motion there. It was probably only pressed as 12 and half minutes due to vinyl pressing limitations. There’s probably a longer mix out there – on the record it’s 12 and a half minutes, but Tony Smith talks of an 18 minute mix. The long instrumental version on the b-side (posted above), with its acapella middle section, is one of the most sampled house records (vocals “let’s get this party started”, “alright, alright” etc) and for me the last two minutes of that mix are as good as any Minneapolis groove… it’s a shame it has to fade out. I’m not sure which one of the handful of mixes ended up on the Jus Born record, but the track had by now also become a hit for the FunHouse’s other regular DJ, John ‘Jellybean’ Benitez, and also for other DJs around the city, including Larry Levan at the Paradise Garage, Farley ‘Jackmaster’ Funk and Frankie Knuckles. About a month later Gibbons returned with some new mixes that he had prepared (including a reggae mix!) only to find the crowd going wild to his original version. The young FunHouse crowd were more used to the heavier Arthur Baker sound, but Smith kept playing it (after bootlegging a copy of it from that night’s inhouse tape recording) and soon people started asking Smith to play the “on the left” track. The story goes that Gibbons, about to launch his record label Jus Born, first gave a test pressing of the record to his friend Tony Smith to play at the FunHouse in New York, but that it bombed on the dancefloor, and Gibbons left the club disillusioned.

I guess it’s impossible to know who was truly the main architect of this track, but whatever, this track is one of the defining moments in the early underground New York club scene. Set It Off song from the album Music from Porcelain is released on Jul 2016. Written by its vocalist Steve Standard and produced by George Logios (neither of whom seem to get much credit these days) this track was mixed into the hit it was by the legend Walter Gibbons. Strafe has re-recorded and re-released the track himself throughout the years, but the original can be found on numerous compilations and is frequently sampled by hip-hop, techno, house, and EDM artists.A lot has been written about this classic track and for many people it’s just been played out too much, but it never gets old for me. Jus Born sent a fake Strafe on tour to promote the track, while the real Strafe returned to the States to stake his claim, where the label recut the track with an in-house group, Harlequin IV. With its minimal electro beat and chant of 'Y'all want this party started, right?', 'Set It Off' started taking off in New York City with the support of DJs like Danny Krivit and spins at clubs like the Roxy, Down Under, and Danceteria. Released in 1984 by the Jus Born label, Standard didn't originally care for the mix of the original 'Set It Off' and took off to Europe - touring as the guitarist in electro queen Shannon's band - as the track was hitting the clubs. An electro project that will forever be remembered for their quintessential track 'Set It Off,' Strafe is actually Brooklyn native and producer Steve Standard.
