4 To The Floor presents 'There But For The Grace of God', an early 90s house hit from Fire Island aka Heller & Farley with vocals from Love Nelson on a mega 10-track package featuring mixes from Joey Negro, Roger Sanchez and more. In 1993, the title track was released on a white label 12? vinyl along with remixes from Roger Sanchez on London-based label Junior Boy's Own. Joey Negro throws in saxophones and whistles in his rendition and Fire Island go under their Roach Motel alias to deliver a club-ready version with a punchier bassline alongside a dub as well as the Original Live 'N' Funky Mix. Roger Sanchez's Garage Mix does exactly what it says on the tin, accompanied by a dub version. Futureshock lay down a garage-influenced mix alongside a Dub version and British production group X-Press 2 serve up a heavier bassline in their The X-Pressive Superdub Parts 1, 2 & 3, with their 'Drums Before Grace' version rounding of a killer funk-loaded package.

Over twenty years on from its original release in 1994, 'God Made Me Phunky' still sounds fresh as ever. Produced by MD X-Press (aka Chicago House legend Mike Dunn), the layering of garage beats, an addictive bassline and Mike's distinctive vocals make for a track that, with its self-proclaiming and uplifting message, has stayed relevant more than two decades later. This updated release includes contemporary remixes from Franky Rizardo and Marlon Hoffstadt, alongside some mixes from the archives from the likes of X-Press 2, Harry Romero, Groove Assassin and Mike Dunn himself. Izmabad (aka Simbad & Karizma) also step up, with an effortlessly lushed-out, grooving mix, making this a must-cop package. MD X-Spress 'God Made Me Phunky' 1. God Made Me Phunky (Original Mix) 2.
