This one arrived in my inbox last week and made an immediate impact. It's only taken me this long to get round to the review because I've been finding it difficult to find the right words but it has the happy knack of bringing a smile to my face which is always a good sign. Expect soulful vibes with catchy melodies soothing vocals, groovy synth bass, funky guitars, and atmospheric brass. I'm not sure you can easily label the track; it evokes memories of 80s groove with a touch of disco and a whiff of house but it's probably easier just to accept that it's an enjoyable tune however you choose to describe it. Now, onto the remixes which include an interpretation from none other than Mr M&M himself, John Morales. He increases the tempo, alters the rhythms and dampens the bass a little but otherwise stays quite close to the original concept. The most significant departure comes in the form of the "Yo-Mo House Mix" which is a straight up old school peak time house groover. It introduces organic synths that remind me a little of some of the Masters At Work dubs of the early 90s. The package concludes with a selection of dubs and instrumentals taking the total number of versions to eight so there's plenty to choose from. Available on pre-release via Traxsource on 28th September with a world wide release date of October 14th.
