Victor Simonelli and souledUp have become very good friends over the last few months, and it is with pleasure that I can review his latest track recorded in London with Zoo Groove's Bobby and Steve of legendary Garage City fame.
Victor played this track at our 'Movin' On' party and myself, and a few of the other DJ's there went scurrying up to try and find out what it was. "You have it on the CD I gave you" Victor replied to me, bringing a huge grin to my face!
We then heard other DJ's mentioning this track throughout WMC week, and after hearing it played out by the big boys a few times, this was
definitely one of THE tracks of the 2009 WMC. The track is quite tough, it shys away from what you'd usually expect from Victor and Zoo Groove, but it's exceptional! Using a rim shot very similar to that of 'Love and Happiness' and some absolutely amazing African chanting samples, this for me is set to be a huge release in clubland in 2009.
My US partner Roy gave this track to Sting International to play when he returned from WMC at a sunday event in New York's Webster Hall, and he told me the crowd went nuts to it! This is a classic track in the making, and there are some other corkers on the CD too that will be live soon..
