THE HYPE
Two of NY & NJ's top DJs bring out all the stops on this debut
Classic House Grooves. Those who know they history of house rhythms know King Street. Those who know one of the best legendary clubs launching the "Jersey" House sound purveyed by such greats as Tony Humphries, Kerri Chandler and more. Nick Jones and the beats he used to bring as resident of Club Zanzibar. Those who know Andre Collins know the legendary Warehouse spot up in The Bronx where people from all over, including ages & creed, journeyed up to hear him play the best in vocal soulful House. These 2 legends beat our souls sense-fully with deep, funky & pumpy rhythms but each bringing their own style to their respective mixes, and they do it with supreme club style. You can virtually hear Andre Collins weave his rich musical tapestry, blending such greats as Mood II Swing Feat. Lauren's Magical Life, to Kerri Chandler's On My Way, onto a special blend of Most Precious Love (Copylight Spiritual Club Mix & "So Special" Dub) Brighter Days (Accapella) Rain (Accapella) that is simply a MUST-HEAR. He blends others seamlessly like Kerri's Bar A Thym with the Heal My Heart (Accapella) and on & on. Nick Jones brings a slightly deeper but no less effective flow to the dance floor merging such tunes as Stephanie Cooke's Here with My Best Friend, Ananda Project's massive Kiss Kiss Kiss, Lenny Fontana presents The East Side Movement's Inner City (East Side Classic), Urban Soul's #1 "Show Me" (Def Club Mix) to Harry "Choo Choo" Romero's Mongobonix (From Beneath The Earth's Crust) and way beyond. All in all 25 tunes (plus exclusive blends) make up this massive comp. We dare anyone's hips not to move to this double mix comp!
