N'Dinga Gaba & DJ Spen - "Until You" (feat Marc Evans - N'Dinga Gaba & DJ Spen's Decadence remix) - (7:50) 125 BPM
Review: Over the last decade, DJ Spen's Quantize Recordings imprint has been one of the most reliable sources of soulful house, US garage and vocal deep house around. Here the man behind the label celebrates its' 10th birthday via a compilation that boasts some of his favourite catalogue cuts to date. His continuous mix is hugel;y enjoyable, but it's the selection of unmixed, full-length tracks that will delight DJs. The plentiful highlights include Danny Krivit's fine, extended re-edit of Marco Valery's house style cover of Jean Carne's Philly Soul classic 'Free Love', Spen's jazz piano-sporting 'Decadence' re-edit ofMichele Chiavarini's luscious 'Let Me See You', the soaring soulful house/disco fusion of Kenny Carpenter's remix of Tracy Hamlin's 'Home' and the bumpin' dancefloor chunkiness of Todd Terry, Spen and Thommy's rework of Spen's 'Stranger'.

Review: Hallelujah it's DJ Spen with a new testament of vocal heavy, diva-praising gospel house. Justify yourself with tracks by The BlackKnight and soulful piano numbers by Assurance. With the compilation pumping in around the 130bpm mark there's "Heaven" to be found in the sweet high notes of a Stacy Kidd, Tasha LaRae & DJ Spen' collaboration, and according to Byron Stingily "It's all Jesus". In remix form Spen's best work here is best found in DJ Booman's "God's Got It" and a whole host of others For those introduced to gospel house by Robert Hood's Floorplan project, this is your next stop to righteousness.

Review: Quantize Recordings is the brainchild of Baltimore legends DJ Spen and Thommy Davis. As executive producers, they work with other producers - in this case Soundshack head honchos (West Yorkshire UK) John Khan and Earl Tutu. With Asia Yarwood on vocals, they use the label as a vehicle of expression with people all around the world. "Lies" (original mix) sees them nailing that classic funky house sound that we all know and love from the late '90s, while the DJ Spen & Reelsoul remix gets that classic 'B-more' bounce on in true style. For something more lo-slung and urban, hear the sexy swagger of the Groovy Soul remix up next. Great vocal talents here by Asia Yarwood, who is based in Blackpool and previously lent her fine vocal talents to Andy Edit, Cafe 432 and Thomas Brenner.

Review: Grown men of a certain age will be very confused by this new release from house heroes Todd Terry and DJ Spen, as they tackle '70s classic "Stone Fox Chase", better known as the theme to BBC music show The Old Grey Whistle Test. The famous harmonica riff is present and correct as is most of the original with just some subtle beefing up going on. Terry's own mix adds some seriously slammin' jack master beats to the equation though, whilst other highlights include Damond Ramsey's techy excursion and Mannoo's swampy beat-fest.

Review: Two true legends of gloriously soulful house music united, with a host of quality remixes included too. Featured here as the 'classic' mix, DJ Spen's collaboration with vocalist Robert Owens still sparkles with warm Rhodes piano and gospel vocals to the fore. The Layabouts bring it into 2010 with a deep and minimal-tech groove that provides an icy soundbed for Owens' vocals to cut through. By contrast, Brazil's DJ Meme flips it into a Love Unlimited-style disco classic with gorgeous strings layered over club beats. The 'reprise' version included is a particular gem - an edit of Meme's mix with just the strings, keys and vocals present that's guaranteed to have your heart soaring. The Groove Assassins stay closest to the original by subtly tightening up the beats and sharpening the rhythms into something that works well for 2010. With various dubs and instrumentals available, it's a DJs dream package and a great re-release of a seriously soulful masterpiece.
