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.

This release features ten mixes of Blaze’s uplifting ‘Breathe’, truly a soulful house classic. Iconic saxophone and trumpet solos helped to establish the track as a definitive sound for both Slip ‘n’ Slide and Blaze, and this comprehensive package includes remixes from Liquid People, Hardsoul, Mr. V and a Switch Vocal Mix which is previously unreleased.
