I have just received an upfront promo of Alexander O'Neal 'Lord' and imho I think it is pretty damn good. I did hear it out a few months back in it's original form I believe, but it's had some new mixes courtesy of Bah Samba who give it a club edge that still retains the soulfulness. Reckon it's gonna do pretty well on the floors and I'm roadtesting it this weekend.

Has anyone elese heard these new mixes and what do they think?

My personal favourite is the 'Bah Samba Mix'

stirred my interest, are there any links to the new mixes online

or any chance of posting a brief clip

either way let us know how it goes down

Here you go Mike.

This link takes you to the Traxsource site. Think that's the only place you're gonna get it before it's release date in July.

Pretty good re-mix but most of the Bah Samba stuff can't be faulted.

Clipped this off a Deep House podcast floating around on the web for ease of use...not the whole thing but an idea.

Actually that's not the same mix as the bah samba one...it's the Bah Sonic one (just checked back)

Will do!

I'm guessing it will work nicely. It has the hooky Cheryl Lynn sample so it's got that 'feelgood' factor but also a credible, soulfulness to appeal to the more discerning of us imo.

Been playing it at Family Tree nights - getting a good response - Bah Samba mix is the only one to play.

The Cheryl Lynn - "Got To Be Real" sample bubbling away in the background gives the record its appeal.

Heard this on the way to Worcester last saturday - if i hadn't have been sitting down my knees would have gone weak...and that was before the vibes break kicked in!

Superb...and in the collection now! Don't ask

Hippo.

Hi Mike

thanks to EPIC its been played at Seaside Soul Club nights along with the tom moulton ron hall remix vocal cut

great stuff and threw it on in the modern room at the togetherness niter to a good response

as you say its the bah samba mix that does it!!!!

..not bad......for those of us with wide-ranging tastes...

I've only listened to the clip on Traxsource but thought it sounded a bit generic. Boring backing, heard it so many places before.
