KemeticJust & Terrance Downs - I Got Life DJ Spinna Galactic  Soul Vocal Mix

It took a minute for me to figure out my approach to remixing this song, but I think the kinda slinky, sexy House approach was a good idea. As a DJ, I could see myself playing this version (or a version LIKE this) on my show or in a club. As you may well know, Lalah is having a remix contest for this song and I will be submitting this track as my entry. Voting begins January 10th, and I'd be honored if you guys would vote for it and spread the word to your friends, etc. Here's the link: http://www.indabamusic.com/opportunities/lalah-hathaway-my-everything-remix-contest/submissions/86663

If ever a record called be called a lost masterpiece then this record more than deserves that epithet. First released on an obscure French label in the 1970's it might have sunk further into obscurity and left no trace of it's passing but somehow a handful of copies turned up in various Jazz shops in London where it was snapped up by DJ Paul Murphy who was then playing to the embryonic jazz dance scene, based at the very first Jazz Room club: The Horseshoe in London's Tottenham Court Road, a decaying, seedy, sticky carpeted old West End ballroom that had seen better days. This and a select few records in a similar vein were being played to an appreciative audience who demanded tough raw percussive rhythms overlaid with some furious jazzy soloing and whenever this record hit the turntable it left even the most demanding groover sated.

It's a really fantastic collection from this barely known reedman and his excellent band which also features a guest appearance by American Legend Horace Parlan who is best known for his Afro-Cuban session "Headin' South" on Blue Note Records.

Superbly produced by drummer Peter Schmidlin, who has conjured up a spiritual modal mixdown of Afro-Cuban & Jazz extended percussive workouts that are uncompromising in their groove and which manage to sound both timeless and modern. The record is being re-released with the original striking artwork, guaranteed to be a talking point.
