Review: Aside from his old Essex buddy Dave Lee, few UK house producers have been as prolific (and successful) since the early 1990s as former Full Intention and Hustlers Convention member Michael Gray. He's an absolute master at making addictive, feelgood house music laden with memorable hooks and thickset grooves. His latest single, featuring the seductive vocals of relative newcomer Tatiana Owens, is another winner - a surging, rising disco-house treat that boasts a seriously squelchy synth bassline, stirring strings, bouncy house pianos and choruses that are so strong and hooky that you'll find yourself singing them in the shower. Gray naturally works the key instrumental elements - the piano riffs in particular - in his accompanying dub mix, where vocals samples within the breakdowns help keep the energy high and the build-and-release structure incredibly effective.
