Lee Wilson has been rubbing shoulders with house music royalty since he cut his first records with Todd Terry and Kenny Dope. In the last few years, however, his output has exploded, and his recent work with the likes of Sebb Junior, Mattei & Omich and Coflo (on Local Talk) has been a joy to experience. The Boston-based vocalist has a beautiful tone that reminds me of The System's vocalist Mic Murphy. Naples-based DJ & producer Arturo Macchiavelli has released on King Street and Cruise Music's and has a cool touch with a classic house groove. Together they have crafted "Hold On To My Heart", an absolute gem of a song and Lee delivers a performance that is up there with classic vocal house tracks by Duane Harden and Roland Clark.
We love the original's left-field production but wanted to have some more DJ friendly mixes to play out. We first discovered Zetbee through "Walking Over Me", his outstanding deep house heater on Miguel Migs' Salted imprint. We thought his deft deep touch would be ideal for this song. Here he delivers a stunning slow-burner that hopefully proves us right!
