House music has brought an universal life into the hearts of many homes over the years and with that has affected the growth of countless diverse cultures around the world. Where Hip Hop reigns as the dominant musical force spewing forth from the US ghettos, the amount of influence that house music has had to echo out of every shack in Soweto, never ceases to amaze us. Paying homage to the influences that African rhythms have had on Dance music, Nite Grooves is releasing Abstract Afro Vibes: an 11-cut digital comp culled from the vault that embarks the listener on a native-beat-filled conga driven journey. This is evident in the many mainstay House Music producers that have been signed to the label over the past 15 years. From Jephte Guillaume's the Tet Kale Orchestra's "Kouzen" to one of Dennis Ferrer's earliest Afro-driven Dance tunes, "Dem People Go," to Blaze & Palmer Brown's classic Soca-like "More Than Gold," to the housier cuts like "Grass Cutter" by legendary Kerri Chandler and "Mozam's Mood" by NY House producers Mateo & Matos, this is one great percussively fueled collection. Just press play and you'll be dancing around a fire bowl in no time. 1. “Dem People Go” (DF's Kicked Out Mix) / Dennis Ferrer feat. Bola Belo Produced & Written by Dennis Ferrer. Vocals by Bola Belo.
