The S.O.S. Band’s “Just Be Good To Me” has been a perennial goldmine for dance music sample hunters. Norman Cook and his Beats International cohorts (as “Dub Be Good To Me” in 1990) weren’t first, but they made the biggest early splash. Since then, everyone from 2pac and 50 Cent to Cloonee and Earth’n’Days have had a shot. Italy’s Jude & Frank are the latest to step up, and on this superb house version, they take the Jimmy Jam & Terry Lewis song on a rolling ride through loopy house and deliver the kind of peak-time pumper that reminds us of peak Junior Jack. It’s a killer.

For all you hip-hoppers, doo-woppers, name-droppers and pill-poppers… come into our house to get deep… ‘Get Deep’ welcomes US House legend Roland Clark alongside production duo Mark Knight and James Hurr back to the label. Utilizing Roland’s classic vocal, Mark & James reimagine this timeless classic, originally released 25 years ago. Notoriously sampled on Fatboy Slim’s ‘Song For Shelter’, the vocal has made several appearances over the years, even showing up in a Katy Perry jam! ‘Get Deep’ sees Mark & James turn in trademark beats aimed directly at the dancefloor.

“Walk on By” was written by the legendary songwriting duo of Burt Bacharach and Hal David for Dionne Warwick. Dionne’s 1964 version stands up as probably the best version to date, despite having some big hitters recording covers (Isaac Hayes, The Stranglers, Gloria Gaynor). We have a soft spot for the Gabrielle version in the GU office, but, really, Dionne nailed it. When it comes to samples, however, the Isaac Hayes version smashes Dionne out the park with over 100 artists sampling his version, although you could argue that Doja Cat’s 2023 lift of Dionne (“Paint The Town Red”) and its 1B+ streams trumps all of that. The point of all this? Well, nothing more than to show the song is an evergreen staple for artists and producers for the last 50 years. Adding to this now we have Italian producers Skylin3 and Simon Adams who put a deep house spin on the classic melody. Disco beats and a loopy bassline form the groove, add in some delicious chords and that iconic topline, and you have the kind of super-playable deep house that will entertain from poolside to the club. Tasty.
