I LOOVE this song! One of my first favourites, this inspired me to get into House/Soulful Garage music. The best and ONLY real mix here is the Joey Mustaphia Main Mix.
One you hear this, there's no going back! The beauty of it, is that it can be played as part of a UK Garage set OR a Soulful/Garage House set!
Joey Mustaphia really took his time with this one (ignore his Hard Dub). He allows India's (of Masters At Work's To Be in Love) divine vocals to sit on top of the bass, while he 'works the middle' with delicate keyboard stabs and the familar chants of "Oye Como Va!" throughout.
And this mix really hits its peak at 5-6 mins with horns and a nice breakdown. (Great for a carnival or a house/block party!)
Everyone should have this, whether on 12" or CD, just for pure listening alone... and then DJing!
