About Release
M&G – When I Let You Down (Remastered) arrives on MR DISC as catalogue MD31805, a 12-inch vinyl spinning at 45 rpm. The record revisits the electro-synth palette of the original, pairing pop-inflected beats with a glossy production that feels at home in contemporary club circuits. Its relevance stems from the title track’s prior life as the soundtrack to the trailer of the Gucci film The Second Summer Of Love: Distant Planet by Josh Blaaberg (2018), a fact that ties the release to a high-fashion visual narrative while reaffirming the track’s cinematic weight.
Within MR DISC’s current output, this release sits alongside a wave of later offerings: Romain Fx’s Spacer Woman (Cantonese Cover) (MD31825, 2026), Grecos’ Living in the Sky (MD31824, 2025), Stage’s Dreaming LP (MD31823, 2025), the label’s compilation Mr Disc Obscure tracks vol. 3 (MD31826, 2025), Crazy Gang’s crazy gang (Remastered 2020) (MD31815, 2025), International Music System’s Ready To Believe (MD31822, 2024), and Gaucho’s Dance Forever Remastered 2023 (MD31821, 2023). It shares its release day with Nexus’ Stand Up (MD31803BLACK, 2023), underscoring a busy period for the imprint.
Side A opens with “When I let you down”, a track already familiar to those who caught the Gucci trailer. Its synth-driven structure and pop-beat sensibility give it a broad appeal, while the remastered treatment adds clarity that suits both late-night listening and peak-time mixing. The piece’s cinematic origin suggests a spacious arrangement, making it a strong candidate for layering over visual sets or for building tension before a drop.
Flipping to side B, “Boogie tonight” provides a contrasting mood. Without a specific description, the track can be positioned as a continuation of the record’s synth-pop aesthetic, delivering a dancefloor-ready groove that complements the A-side’s more narrative tone. Its placement as the sole B-side cut offers DJs a concise, focused tool for closing a set or for bridging between more melodic moments.
From a catalogue perspective, the record exemplifies MR DISC’s commitment to revisiting recent electro-synth works with a fresh mastering approach. By pairing a track with visual media pedigree alongside a fresh, club-oriented B-side, the release bridges the worlds of fashion-driven sound design and underground dance floors, reflecting the label’s eclectic yet cohesive identity.
For DJs, the 45 rpm speed yields a slightly higher pitch and tighter low-end response, ideal for tight mixing and precise cueing. “When I let you down” works as a melodic opener or a mid-set highlight, especially when paired with visual elements, while “Boogie tonight” serves as a reliable, rhythmic closer that can sustain momentum or transition into deeper sets. Collectors will appreciate the remastered clarity and the connection to a notable fashion campaign, adding a layer of cultural relevance to the vinyl.
The release is pressed as a 12-inch vinyl, 45 rpm, offering the sonic benefits of the higher rotation speed. Its format aligns with the label’s recent output, ensuring consistent playback standards across MR DISC’s catalogue.
