Taken from the year of 1987 is this true british classic from Projection - LOVESTRUCK.

Projection was the name for Andy Sojka, record producer, born July 10 1951.

In 1979 Andy Sojka,formed produced and recorded the five-strong music group, Atmosfear. The first fruit of the liaison was their single, Dancing In Outer Space.

Dancing In Outer Space fused disco, funk, jazz and psychedelic production. It sold 100,000 copies and the tune lives on, still played and frequently sampled.

Educated at Kingsbury high school, north London, in the late 1970s, Sojka opened All Ears, a dance music shop in Harlesden. It quickly became a focus for the 12inch 45rpm dance single boom, which had begun in the United States. Many of the customers at All Ears were DJs buying American imports and the British releases that followed.

After Dancing In Outer Space, in 1980 Sojka discovered and named Level 42, and signed them to his Elite label, producing their first single, Love Meeting Love, and The Early Tapes album.

In the 1980s, Elite Records became a home for the new independent British dance music, and releases by Danny D(D-Mob), Beverley Skeete, PROJECTION, Atmosfear, Sahara and many others featured regularly in the dance music charts. With his music championed by the late Larry Levan at the Paradise Garage Andy became a cult figure in New York.

Between 1986-88 he worked with Garry Hughes, producing two experimental world music crossover albums. In 1987, a rhythm and blues label was formed. Its first release was Keni Stevens's Blue Moods, a classic album of British soul music.

In the mid-90s Andy established three new labels, Jump Cut, Meta4, and Chemical Discs, whose catalogue included such notable works as Atmosfear's Trance Plants (1994) and Jangala Spirits (1997). His last major project was Altered Slates (1998), made with the US group, Masters at Work, the U2 producer Francois Kevorkian, and Dimitri from France. In 1999, he began writing Groove World, an album by Atmosfear. This was to be his last, as he died on Feb 12th 2000.

Yes Rago love Loose Ends too, but the tube is saturated with their tracks so not uploaded any, apart from the Pete Rock mix on my channel. Im not against it though, it's nice to see some tunes repeated on various channels on here, gives people more of a chance of stumbling across them that way. Just sortin some 90's classics now, will upload some later. Peace man! Snow.

Classic. I rock this tune everyday on my ipod and still have the 12" at home. These are the forgotten 80's tracks. Thanks for posting this Gem.

Yes Rago what a classic! I was 14 when i heard this first! Thanks to my cuz for getting me into the "classics" before they were "classics". But then again, it was classic the day it was pressed! Shame most tunes these days dont seem like they will be classics in 20 years +. Thanks for the comments man. Peace.
