SAMANTHA JAMES
RISE
OM RECORDS

Originally surfacing on the Om Lounge 10 collection, this crowd winning song is given a much needed single release together with a selection of remixes.  Eric Kupper offers a classic sounding backdrop for James’ song to – ahem – rise.  Perfect for the bar crowd.  Groove Junkies do what they do so well, a good mix of mainstream US Garage with jazz-funk overtones, sqawking sax and hammond showing up in the mix.  DJ Fluid’s Main Room Dub doesn’t stray much beyond it’s description, whilst Ricardo Dacosta closes the package off with a harder, speaker troubling techier mix that throws in fx aplenty.
