European Boy (Incl. Director's Cut Mix)

Lem

Say Ahh!
SA-1103-1 | 2012-04-24  
Since its inception Say Ahh! have pulled in budding young artists from the UK house scene to showcase the future of the label, now "European Boy"stands firmly as a representation of the history and experience of the bosses behind the label, enlisting the services of household names from the house era LEM and Frankie Knuckles as well as rising talents Oli Furness and DJ E-Clyps.

Up first is Chicago's Frankie Knuckles with his "Director's Cut" interpretation, opting to create fresh elements and rip snippets of the original vocal, Knuckles works in 909 drums and a timeless arp line alongside an acid tinged bass hook resulting in an effortlessly retro composition.

Oli Furness, an artist due a release with Say Ahh! later this year, stamps his raw analogue sound on the original with heavily swung snares, hi-hat rolls and looped vocal cuts intricately delayed to create an entirely new groove before creeping in a tweaky acid hook that oozes peak time energy.

DJ E-Clyps most notably known for his work on Todd Terry's In House Records creates a deep soulful rework, centred around beautifully rich melodies, showing the more heartfelt musical approach of the label to accompany the powerful 4:4 cuts already featured.

Closing the release is LEM's "Radio Mix" of the original piece, an emotive storytelling arrangement about a woman who envisions the perfect lover romancing and seducing her all around Europe. Pulling
in veteran singer Jamelle "Tara" Jones who has worked across the board on Hip Hop, Soul and Pop records for many years adds that vintage spice to the record.

With a fine balance of classic and contemporary releases Say Ahh! are not only keeping the spirit of electronic music alive but shaping its future too.
