    All I Do

    Kevin McKay

    Beatport Staff Picks

    Some songs become part of house music without ever really becoming house records.\n\nAll I Do is one of them.\n\nTaken from Stevie Wonder's Hotter Than July, it has been quietly loved by house producers and DJs for decades. In the 90s, sample-led versions and underground flips appeared because the chorus had exactly what dancefloors love: lift, warmth, emotion and instant recognition.\n\nKevin McKay has lived with those records since his early years as a producer, when Stevie Wonder's songwriting, studio detail and musicality became part of the education for a generation of house heads.\n\nThis version goes back to the song itself.\n\nRebuilt with live musicians and a new vocal from Jamal Edwards, All I Do becomes a modern Nu-disco record built for DJs who want classic songwriting with a current dancefloor feel. Warm bass, live-feel instrumentation and a chorus that still lands exactly where it should.\n\nNot a sample flip.\n\nA full disco rebuild of one of the great songs.\n\nGenre: Nu-disco / Disco House\nKey use: Peak-time disco sets, vocal house floors, feel-good club moments
