Review:
Sounds of Blackness' Ann Nesby teamed up with Baltimore legend DJ Spen on "I Feel" back in 2014 but here come the remixes courtesy of New York City don David Morales so you know you're in good hands here. The darkly euphoric dancefloor drama of "David Morales Def mix" is executed in with all the expertise that only this man can, while the "David Morales Kings Of House remix" does exactly what it says on the tin: this one is the most uplifting of the bunch by one of the true master's with Nesby's gospel vocals soaring gloriously above a funky, deep and sexy groove. The "David Morales Red Zone mix" also comes with a handy instrumental version; its latin drums working well against its razor sharp, Innervisions style arpeggio and like the name suggests will take you all the way back to the early '90s for a night at its very namesake: when the city's nightlife was at its raw finest.
Review:
Vocalist, songwriter and background vocalist from Long Branch, NJ. Here she makes her debut with "Be Patient" and it gets a bunch of serious remixes worthy of your attention. Starting off getting a rework by Baltimore legend DJ Spen with Bruce Jeffers; their version giving it all the soul and bumpiness that you'd expect from these veterans. Mark FRancis rendition is definitely the one that dives deepest, complementing the emotion of Carissa's vocal delivery until Mark Francis & DJ Spen's "Afro Love dub"hammers the message home in true style.
Review:
Quantize Recordings is run out of Baltimore by Dj Spen and Thommy Davis. As executive producers, they work with other producers, artists, writers, and remixers to use the labels as a vehicle of expression. Here they present UK producer Dave Anthony, who from early '90s has been knee deep into the US sound - first picking up with the vibe of Detroit, then his real love coming from the soulful sound of New York. Featured here are some of his club anthems from over the years, remixed by himself and fellow label alumni. We particularly enjoyed the sensual rework of "Let Love In" (feat Sheree Hicks) by the legendary Terry Hunter, NYC stalwart Quentin Harris steps in to inject some groove action into Anthony's own "Live To Love" featuring Tasha LaRae, and the latin infused collaboration with DJ Spen "I Live For You" (feat Stephanie Cooke - DJ Spen & Gary Hudgins remix).
