25th Anniversary Mixes! No way - some of us weren't even born in 2000 when the original track came out on Central Park Recordings, Bowery, New York; how has that resurfaced with remixes in 2026?
It's hard to remember a time when there were masses of records store in towns and cities everywhere and in particular, New York was the home of loads with a need to serve DJs and clubs. At that time Satellite Records was connected the the Satellite Records store and one of the sub-labels fell on a deep house hit by Alistair Colling that needed a vocal and were lucky enough to gett Tortured Soul's frontman and songwriter John-Christian Urich to write it.
Not only that, 'I love you' and 'la la lahs' were elevated to a feel good classic level with Sabina Sciubba (then of Brazillian Girls) to record the vocals plus remixes by another Brooklyn stalwart Jon Culter (a regular name on the wall of London record shop racks and opened 60 Million Postcards at about this time!)
No only is it a classic that's stood the test of time, the re-issue is connected with today's Razor N Tape is the co-founder JKriv (who was Tortured Soul's bassist and collaborator of 10 years) so who better to revive this one and with his networking abilities he's got the strong-arms of New York house 'names/, Musclecars (as in 'Dubble Honey Pack' - see review HERE) and another remix legend, DJ Spinna (as in Galatic Soul and 'The Sound Beyond Stars: The Essential Remixes - see review HERE).
In terms of the vinyl that's available on pre-order, there's the Galatic Soul Remix and what sounds like a heavy-weigh musclecars remix on the A-side. Along with the original mix, along with some franciase, there's Jon Cutler's Distant music mix on the flip.
If quantity is you thing, the digital also includes instrumentals of DJ Spinna and musclecars plus the original Jon Cutler mixes giving you 9 versions including the original and the little known Alistair Colling Breakbeat Mix.
Superb way to start the new year and one that'll will last another 25 years in clubs and at home.
