DJ Qness ft. Xoli M – ‘Don’t Go’ (Quentin Harris Remixes)
SMI ft. Shea Soul – ‘Just Fine’ (Jihad Muhammad & David Harness Mixes)
Makin’ Moves
‘Makin’ Moves Sampler Vol 1′ features 2 wonderful soulful outings, the first is fantastic new song plucked from rhythmic shores of South Africa. ‘Don’t Go’ is a beautiful and deep afrocentric song from Jo-burg star DJ Qness featuring the soothing tones of Xoli M. Two class mixes come from NYC’s Quentin Harris who delivers his signature soulful heat, pinned together by a massively infectious synth bass hook; and a menacing dub, toying with the vocal to a haunting soundtrack of punchy synth stabs and tech-beats. Next up is a gorgeous song from young North London producer SMI, featuring the unmistakable voice of Croydon’s Shea Soul, titled ‘Just Fine’. Mixes come from New Jersey’s Jihad Muhammad, adding in some fancy key work and lush sweeping strings; and San Fran’s David Harness works up a hypnotic groove for the floor.
