Review: London-based newcomers In Dat Groove describe themselves as "a jazz/lounge project" and here they make their debut on DJ Spen's Unquantize label with a track produced in collaboration with Boston-based vocalist Lee Wilson. In its Original form, 'Give My Love' is essentially an R&B cut, though it'd play equally well on many soulful house and broken beat floors. The label boss's refix adds a rock-solid 4/4 kick and pushes the track more decisively into soulful house territory, but for this writer it's L'Amour Disco's rerub that takes the gold, as the mysterious UK producer reworks 'Give My Love' into an 80s boogie groover.
Review: Boston singer-songwriter Lee Wilson is perhaps best known for his work with the likes of Kenny Dope, Todd Terry, Reelsoul, Mr V and many more, but he's sailing under his own flag on this cut for Saucy Lady's Dippin' Records label, which is also based in Boston. 'Do Better' is a soulful house jam that, to these old ears, has something of the flavour of 00s classics like Erro's 'Change For Me' or Shaun Escoffery's 'Days Like This', and that's served in your choice of two mixes: the smooth-rolling Original or the slightly bumpier and more stripped-back Monolog Reprise.
