Sgt Slick Brings His Nu Disco Sound To Strings Of Life
The release features two versions from Sgt Slick, including the Sgt Slick Remix and Sgt Slick Dub. Each offers its own take on the track while retaining the energy, emotion and instantly recognisable spirit of the original. Bringing his signature production style to a record that holds a seminal place in House music history, Sgt Slick combines driving drums, infectious Disco energy and a powerful sense of euphoria. The result is a remix that feels both timeless and contemporary.
“Some records occupy a special place in the history of House music, and Soul Central’s Strings of Life is undoubtedly one of them. It was a massive honour to be handed the keys to such a classic and given the chance to put my own spin on a record that has meant so much to so many people.”
The remix arrives following a sustained period of momentum for Sgt Slick. 2025 marked his biggest year as a DJ and producer to date, with six Overall #1s on Traxsource. These included Make It Happen, one of the year’s highest selling releases. His ReCut of Depeche Mode’s Enjoy the Silence became a global standout club hit and one of Ibiza’s most played seasonal weapons. It earned major support from Jamie Jones, Diplo, Seth Troxler, Mark Knight, Marco Carola, Fisher, CamelPhat and David Guetta, and continues to dominate dance floors worldwide.
More Than Two Decades Of Releases From Sgt Slick
With more than two decades shaping dance floors, Sgt Slick has built an extensive catalogue of chart topping records and remixes. He has scored multiple #1s across Billboard, Music Week, ARIA, Beatport and Traxsource, releasing on labels including Ultra, Positiva, Toolroom, Spinnin’ and Def Jam. His catalogue has accrued more than 200 million streams worldwide.
His ARIA Gold certified rework of ABBA’s Gimme! Gimme! Gimme! became Beatport’s highest selling Nu Disco release of all time in 2020. It remained a staple in their charts for a number years, further cementing his reputation for turning iconic records into modern dance floor hits.
The History Behind Soul Central’s Strings Of Life
Soul Central are best known for their anthem Strings Of Life (Stronger On My Own) featuring Kathy Brown. The track received widespread acclaim, while BBC Radio 1 listeners voted it the fourth greatest dance record ever in 2008. It ranked alongside Michael Jackson’s Billie Jean, James Brown’s Sex Machine and Donna Summer’s I Feel Love.
Following the recent release of Bart Skils and Weska’s modern rework of Strings Of Life / Un Amore Supremo on Adam Beyer’s Drumcode, Soul Central continue the track’s legacy. The release reignites the anthem for a new generation of dance floors, with widespread support from Carl Cox at Creamfields, Jamie Jones and Josh Baker at UNVRS, and more.
“We’re really looking forward to Slick’s remix dropping. As long-term friends and fans of his productions, it’s incredible to see his interpretation of one of the biggest hits in house music. We knew he’d absolutely smash it, and he’s undoubtedly delivered a whole new flavour, perfect for the dancefloor and a surefire hit.”

Cafe del Mar’s resident DJs also continued to play it throughout the summer, further reflecting the track’s deep connection to Ibiza, one of the world’s leading electronic music destinations.

This should bring the long-sentence percentage down quite heavily. I only changed sentence construction where needed for readability, plus the two obvious passive structures: “was voted” → “listeners voted it” and “is officially released” → “officially releases.”
