The Real Thing – Can You Feel The Force ('86 Mix)

The Real Thing – Can You Feel The Force? ('86 Mix)

A revitalised club-era version of one of British soul’s most enduring anthems, Can You Feel The Force? ('86 Mix) sees The Real Thing bring their signature blend of disco, soul, and funk into the slicker production landscape of the mid-1980s. Originally one of the group’s defining hits, this updated mix adds punchier rhythms, expanded synth textures, and dancefloor-focused production while retaining the uplifting energy of the original recording.

Formed in Liverpool, The Real Thing became one of the UK’s most successful soul groups of the 1970s, known for combining irresistible grooves with smooth vocal harmonies and infectious positivity. This release captures that crossover appeal perfectly - bridging classic disco sophistication with the brighter electronic sound of the remix era.

The accompanying tracks, “Love’s Such A Wonderful Thing” and “Lightnin’ Strikes”, further showcase the group’s polished vocal style and strong melodic songwriting, rounding out a release full of feel-good energy and classic British soul charm.
