As the story goes Ame & Dixon heard Osunlade play ‘Envision’ out in America, were completely bowled over by it, rushed the DJ booth and immediately asked to remix and release it. They did and it turned out to be quite possibly the biggest record of 2011. To coincide with the release of the Osunlade In The House compilation Defected have re-released the record with brand new remixes ensuring that this summer will be once again dominated by the vocal sounds of ‘Envision’.

Chocolate Puma’s remix is underpinned by trademark hard as nails Dutch beats and bass, where as Argy’s vocal and dub take things into classic mid 90’s new York-esque territory; Garage sounding bass line, looped vocal intro… if you didn’t know any better you’d be forgiven for thinking that was from the hand of a certain Mark Kinchen. Pacha Ibiza resident DJ Tuccillo turns in a remix with a nod to those Ame & Dixon remixes that made the record so big in the first place: electronic yet soulful, expect to hear this early doors at Pacha all Summer long. Last but by no mean least the package concludes with Osunlade’s Yoruba Soul Mix.
