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.

Mijan unleashes her powerful vocals across this uplifting track with a true feel-good message. Titans of the classic US garage sound, 95 North, turn in 4 mixes ranging from the bouncing ‘Club Vocal’, a ‘Gospel Vocal’ and ‘Gospel Dub’ doused in Hammond organ, through to an ‘Unreleased Mix’ with a greater emphasis on the low end, with filtered bassline and rolling beats. The release is completed by a ‘Vocal Dub’ from Solid Groove, aka Switch, which loops a vocal loop over tribal beats in his inimitably quirky fashion.
