A woman that needs no introduction, iconic songstress Crystal Waters teams up with NYC producers Sted-E and Hybrid Heights for a righteous self-proclaiming hit! "I Am House" brings a special kind of pure 4/4 with a number of distinct mixes all by notable East and West Coast remixers to the forefront. Jacob Colon puts forth a slammin' tribal-Latin house jam, full of native percussion and proper builds, that spark up some peak hour energy. Norty Cotto's on call as well to deliver a traditional 4/4 slappy version adding more dancefloor cred to the package. Hip House impresario Mr. V teams up with his bud Will "Reelsoul" Rodriguez to form the Kidzblock production duo. They offer an all out spoken groove as deep as a groove can get. All in all these versions surely compliment original producers, Sted-E & Hybrid Heights remixes of pure club goodness. But just when you think you've heard them all, in come the crowning glory featured remixes courtesy of the legendary House duo and multi-award winning producers Kenny Dope & Louie Vega, pka Masters At Work, who drop a no-holes-barred smack down epic mix that's sure to be a bonafide crowd-pleaser.

BBE Music bids a fond farewell to UK music hero, the Legendary Paul ‘Trouble’ Anderson, with the great man’s final production: a stunning soulful house version of gospel standard ‘Happy Day’.

A pirate radio and club DJ since the 1970s, the influence of Paul ‘Trouble’ Anderson on UK music simply cannot be understated. From his early days throwing shapes and honing his formidable skills behind the decks at London club ‘Crackers’, through his years at Kiss FM, to enchanting a whole new generation in recent times with his Bussey Building residency and on Mi Soul Radio, Paul’s was surely a life well spent: spreading joy through music.

It is fitting then, that his final production is a characteristically up-beat, ebullient and spiritual one. First arranged in a gospel style by Edwin Hawkins in 1967, ‘Oh Happy Day’ has become beloved the world over thanks to its comforting message and uplifting harmonies. Featuring vocals from the dearly departed John Redmond (RIP) and drums/programming from Frankie Dark (aka Booker T), PTA’s ‘Happy Day’ provides an ecstatic, anthemic soulful house update; a truly breathtaking and beautiful way to say goodbye.

The package contains a pair of piano-laden dub versions, plus instrumental and reprise mixes, giving a versatile selection for DJs to choose from, with stunning original artwork by Richard Wilson.

Available February 1st on all digital stores – 12″ vinyl coming soon!

Happy Day

Paul Trouble Anderson - Happy Day (Classic Main Mix)

The release last autumn of Reel People’s first full studio album in 10 years was, it’s fair to say, a moment. Retroflection stylishly recreated soul, disco and boogie classics behind the collective’s formation nearly 20 years ago and exposed its rarefied DNA like never before. Now band leader Oli Lazarus widens the collective, inviting the world’s finest producers and remixers to add their funky splices to the Retroflection blueprint. Retroflection Remixed, featuring Mousse T., Osunlade, DJ Spinna, John Morales, Atjazz, Terry Hunter, Sebb Junior, Scott Diaz, Da Brownie, Tall Black Guy, Matt Cooper’s OUTSIDE, BusCrates and Art Of Tones, is a majestic rebooting of the soulful flow that swept us away in 2018.
	
Art Of Tones get’s his sparkly mitts on Don’t Stop The Music, swaggering synth ‘n’ bass riffs further underlining Angie Stone’s classy strut through Yarbrough & People’s 1980 hit, whilst Buscrates – true to the name of his remix – pumps irresistible funk bounce into I’m In Love, a truly lowdown re-skinning of Reel People’s Evelyn ‘Champagne’ King tribute where Navasha Daya’s vocal sounds sassier than ever.

Osunlade eases us in with an elegant re-interpretation of Reel People’s Pleasure cover Joyous, deep throbs of electronica and rippling percussion carrying loops of the vocal and that iconic sax solo to stunning new heights – or depths. Similarly, Atjazz dims the lights and intensifies the mood for his take on Twilight. Where Reel People played impressively close to Maze’s original, Atjazz treads to shuffling jazz drums, double-bass and piano. The build of parts is spine-tingling stuff. Matt Cooper and his outstanding OUTSIDE project also take on the mantle of Joyous, and serve us a full fat disco jazz funk odyssey.

There are a number of uptempo treats too. Take Sebb Junior’s snappy piano-house routine for the Mica Paris-fronted I Want To Thank You – a sparkling turbo-charge to Alicia Myers’ early Eighties gospel-R&B vibe – or NYC mix legend John Morales’ ecstatic nine-minute mirrorball twirl of Geraldine Hunt-anthem Can’t Fake The Feeling complete with epic drum and vocal (Daya once again) breakdowns. Respected UK house DJ-producer Scott Diaz gives the Sharlene Hector-led cover of Side Effect’s Always There greater guitar-licked urgency but without compromise to the song’s soulful poise and power, and revered Chicago veteran Terry Hunter is a match made in heaven for Tony Momrelle, who soars through the former’s soulfully-charged remix of Buttercup (Carl Anderson’s mid-Eighties, Stevie Wonder-penned gem) with all of its funky drums, b-line twists and warm musical arrangements. German maestro Mousse T. hands us a nostalgic rework of Teena Marie’s I Need Your Lovin’  featuring the female powerhouses Vulu Malinga, LaDonna Harley-Peters and Sharlene Hector.

Elsewhere, South African talent Da Brownie dresses Reel People’s peppy, Omar-fronted update of Skipworth & Turner treasure Thinking About Your Love in sharp, finely-detailed deep dance threads, and Detroit star Tall Black Guy (TBG) sprinkles considerable amounts of summer samba magic over Momrelle’s other Retroflection outing Can We Pretend - a stunning re-awakening of the Bill Withers and Jose Feliciano collabo for the second time in mere months. There’s room yet for DJ Spinna to expand the reaches of Keep It Up (Anthony David’s luscious rendition of Milton Wright’s deep-soul bomb) with another of his transcendental space-funk remixes. Mind-blowing.
