Retro Rhythms Vol 6

The latest in the Retro Rhythms series features a series of oldies which have either been covered, remixed or re-edited tastefully. Several of these are prone to get me singing along gleefully whenever I hear them; (probably best for all involved that no one else hears my own vocals instead of the artists').

Flashback 1998

Lenny Fontana presents Andricka Hall - I'll Give You Love [Soulshine Recordings]

Here's another track that used to feature regularly in my sets. Released back in 1998 on Louis Benedetti's label Soulshine Recordings, "I'll Give You Love" is a hands in the air anthem with a turbo-charged groove. Lenny Fontana's "Anthem Vocal Mix" is a driven by a combination of keys and driving uptempo rhythms. My weapon of choice though was the "Jazz-n-Groove Club Mix" complete with booming bassline and bounding rhythms. The infectious yet edgy keyboard arrangement that typified the JnG sound of Marc Pomeroy and Brian Tappert is very much in evidence both on their vocal and dub versions. Still brilliant 23 years on with the full suite of mixes available on Traxsource.
