Jerk House Connection, the french soulful combo known for their succesful releases on Defected and Antho Records, have teamed up with Pop Icon Niles Thomas, called an avant-garde singer/songwriter by the musical press, on this special track called "Velvet Touch". The original mix is a beautiful deep and moody track that features the laidback melancholic yet sexy vocals from Niles. A standout track sure to captures eveyones attention with its different mood. On the remix tip, Stalwart is striking hard with french heavyweight don Rocco that rebuilt the vibe of the original mix keeping its essence but with an infectious groove that builds up until the end, while NYC%u2019s finestduo Master Kev & Tony Loreto went on a more deep progressive edge mixed with an electric guitar solo. United Music Records head honcho Hallex M has come up with a bouncing deep and hypnotic yet melancholic remix with a slight touch of Giorgio Moroder. Stalwart%u2019s very own DJ Rork went on a more uplifting and detroit synths inspired version for a better club appeal, while newcomers DJ Mike&Tess and DJ Elijah provided their very own interpretation. A very special release for us, hope you are feeling it !

DJ Support from Louie Vega, Osunlade, Claude Monnet, Atjazz, Ralf Gum, Demarkus Lewis, Kiko Navarro, Graham Sahara, DJ Pope, Distant People, Steven Stone, Jamie Thinnes, Rob Salmon, Spiritual Blessings, Sarah Favouritizm, Marco Finotello, Tommy Bones among many others !!

Jerk House Connection featuring Niles Thomas "Velvet touch" (Stalwart Records CD Promo)

French soulful house combo Jerk House Connection and pop icon Niles Thomas give us something truly special with "Velvet touch", a production featuring the melancholic yet seductive vocals by Niles Thomas alongside bodacious keys and chords over a deep somewhat moody backing. On remix duty you find such heavyweights as Rocco, Master Kev & Tony Loreto, Hallex M, DJ Rork, DJ Mike & Tess and DJ Elijah giving you plenty of options to work the floor with their unique interpretations of the track. As we said at the beginning, "Velvet touch" is something truly special, and we highly recommend you check it out. Believe us, it will grown on you...
