West London’s Slip 'n' Slide was one of the UK’s original House imprints. Starting in 1994 with early releases and remixes from artists such as Blaze, Deep Dish, X-Press 2, King Britt, Masters At Work, Kings Of Tomorrow and Restless Soul, it set the benchmark for house music in the UK and gave a platform to artists who then went on to become all-time greats. This series revisits some of Slip ‘n’ Slide’s standout releases, gleefully wading through the entire musical history of the label, blowing the dust off those albums and singles that deserve another lease of life and a place in your classic house collection.

Power In The Groove is Kevin Hedge (a member of Blaze and a prolific artist on Slip ‘n’ Slide as part of various groups) and Tee Alford, who also produced with Hedge as The Klub Family. ‘It’s Automatic’ captures the essence of Slip ‘n’ Slide; groove-laden, soulful, upbeat, with a soaring diva-esque vocal from Kemeisha Holmes, and with Solid Groove on remix duties, it’s a little slice of house heaven.
