This Friday, May 2nd, Acid Jazz Records and Ace Records kick off the Spring Revisited campaign fully — a major collaboration celebrating the rich musical legacy of New York’s iconic Spring Records.
The first 12” release features dynamic new remixes of Millie Jackson’s 1979 classic "We Got To Hit It Off" by internationally renowned DJs Dimitri From Paris and Opolopo. Both were granted full access to the original 24-track master tapes, reconstructing the song from the ground up to create two vibrant reworks that stay true to the spirit of the original while making it fresh for today’s dancefloors.
Dimitri From Paris’ version premiered on DJ Spoony’s show on BBC2, quickly climbing to #2 on Traxsource, while Opolopo’s mix debuted on Mark Knight’s show on Kiss FM and reached #5 on Traxsource — signaling strong early support from the global dance community.
For Spring Revisited, a dozen highly respected DJs and producers were invited to reimagine a wide range of tracks from the Spring Records catalog. Each artist was given full access to the original masters, resulting in energetic, respectful updates that honor the timeless soul, funk, and R&B of the originals while introducing them to a new generation of music lovers.
"We Got To Hit It Off (Dimitri From Paris & Opolopo Remixes)" will be available digitally on all major platforms, alongside a limited edition 12” vinyl via Acid Jazz Records.
Millie Jackson says:
“Haha, that's great you picked ‘We Got To Hit It Off’ — it was never a hit for me back in the day. Really looking forward to hearing it in a new version!"
The Spring Revisited series will continue throughout 2025, with further digital releases and limited vinyl drops, culminating in a deluxe collector’s box set this fall.
