#3 Feat. Staff Picks in Nu Disco / Disco

Big Love label boss Seamus Haji has released under many monikers over the years and this particular release was originally under his Ijah alias (Haji backwards). It features the truly inimitable vocals of the now late, great D'Empress (real name Diane Charlemagne). As some of you may know she worked heavily with Goldie ('Timeless' album) and toured extensively with Moby. The soul heads will know her from UK 80's act 52 Street. Occasionally, she's did the odd house feature as D'Empress for the likes of Satoshi Tomie, Mutiny and ATFC. Chicago's go-to producer of the moment Emmaculate has been drafted in to breathe new life into this heartfelt song for the Soul Love imprint after his extensive work of late working with the likes of Ten City on their latest album 'Next Generation'. He stays true to the original arrangement whilst adding his own musical soundbed in a sublimely soulful way. Live bass, guitar and keys are embellished with rousing strings and impressive synth solos. This one is sure to be a hit with true soulful house heads.
