Marking his debut on Stay True Sounds, acclaimed producer and DJ Jimpster delivers his signature take of beatsbyhand’s ‘Say Yes’. One for the dancefloor, the reinterpretation of Floetry’s seminal hit gets the Jimpster touch, resulting in up-tempo cut that transforms a neo-soul classic into a house anthem. Having headlined the label’s debut London show back in 2023, the UK-born producer now lends his production prowess to the imprint for the first time. A fresh take for house enthusiasts and beyond, the track is a celebration of music and its unique ability to unite artists and genres.

On what feels like a return trip home, 2fox present the remix package of their single ‘So Long’ on Soul Quest records, with the sounds found within dripping with succulent grooves, infectious soulful melodies and some inspired remix work…

2fox consists of Soul Quest label head Max Sinàl and Ivor Novello award winning songwriter/composer Renell Shaw, and the duo have become known the world over for their infectious and refreshing take on house music. Taking inspiration from a wide variety of sources, 2fox always presents their music with heart and emotion on its sleeve, celebrating the vitality of life through rhythm, voices and melody. Profoundly composed, effortlessly delivered, 2fox are a consistent source of fresh air, making music that jams along to the bustle of lives well lived and enjoyed - be it at home or on the dance floor.

‘So Long’ acts as a continued expression of their synergy and shared passion. A skipping rhythm section provides the bedrock for razor sharp melodic sequences to shift in and out of sight, adding depth where required and allowing the bass line to sing so sweetly. What also sings so very sweetly is the vocal performances by Liam Bailey and BB James, who’s unraveling narrative keeps the ears burning with delight throughout. As a whole, the music is deeply engaging, with many layers of heart and soul to swim within, and as a groover it has all the ingredients to keep the night feeling young.

As per tradition now with many of 2fox’s releases, a cohort of remixes compliment the original cut to provide even further feels. Oliver Night provides a broken beat take to proceedings, with plenty of space thrown into the mix to get feet and minds moving. Manoo spreads the grooves out over the horizon line with his version, with an in-depth rhythm section allowing the melodic touches to reach out and kiss the skies above. Coflo’s ’Stripped Back’ mix takes things down to pianos, bass and voice, and suddenly the vibe becomes one of sentimentality and softness, with the energetic spark of the original remaining throughout. Finally, David Bailey takes things into the electronic realm with an up-tempo house laden number that caps off the record in the warmest of ways.

Hypnotic, soulful and absorbing, ‘So Long’ is a single to feel as much as it is to dance too. A number that lasts long into the night, soundtracking the dance and the everyday. The remix work adds the finishing touches, and creates even more listenability. No matter where you find yourself, ‘So Long’ will captivate the heart and the soul…
