MEWAY02DS | 2009-11-12
In 2008 the Baltimore Soul sensation, Marc Evans teamed up with DJ Spen & The MuthaFunkaz to bring us his debut album 'The Way Your Love Me', and by popular demand we present the original album alongside a whole host of remixes and exclusive tracks in a deluxe re-issue for 2009. As an added bonus this special Album Sampler brings you yet more exclusives.
'The Way You Love Me' originally delivered 13 superlative soulful house cuts including the outstanding title track and the 3 run away single successes 'Serenity' (produced by Japanese outfit Studio Apartment), 'Reach Out For Love' and 'Given Me Joy'. Other hidden gems included 'Beneath the Crescent Moon', 'Am I Crazy', 'Tonight's The Night' and 'This Thing Called Love'.
The extended re-release includes smash remixes from ATFC, Miguel Migs and Dimitri From Paris as well as exclusive brand new productions including 'Downtime (A Drink B4 We Dance)', 'She Is' and 'Come Bother Me'. Spanking new re-workings by the likes of DJ Meme ('This Thing Called Love') and Mark Grant ('Serenity') round the package off impeccably, whilst DJ Spen offers up a special digital only bonus mix.
This sampler package goes a step further again by featuring 5 more exclusive tracks including extended versions of 'She Is' (MuthaFunkaz Long Version), and 'Down Time' (DJ Spen's Extended Mix and Trax Mix), whilst DJ Meme's take on 'This Thing Called Love' accompanies Mark Grant's Blackstone Extended Remix of 'Serenity' and the 1200 Warriors remix of 'Crescent Moon' - delivered specifically for this Sampler.
This is soulful house at its finest.
