Galaxy Group ft. Rich Medina – Lady Harlem – Loveslap! Recordings
Dan Perkins
Harking back to the glory days of Blaze (and that’s a compliment) is this latest from Galaxy Group. Rich Medina’s tastefully smooth spoken words tell the story of ‘Lady Harlem’ over organic, shuffling rhythms and beautifully ponderous Rhodes chords, and if the more soulful American end of House is a place you like to find yourself at then this is heavenly. But what else would you expect from a collaborative project between Charles Spencer and Antoine Green? Agent X provide the first of two great remixes with pounding percussion looped against taught techno bass giving the vocal a fresh, different angle. Casamena then follow on with deeper grooves again exploring the percussive aspects as the spoken message continues to shine proudly through.
