4 To The Floor presents ‘There But For The Grace of God’, an early 90s house hit from Fire Island aka Heller & Farley with vocals from Love Nelson on a mega 10-track package featuring mixes from Joey Negro, Roger Sanchez and more. In 1993, the title track was released on a white label 12” vinyl along with remixes from Roger Sanchez on London-based label Junior Boy’s Own. Joey Negro throws in saxophones and whistles in his rendition and Fire Island go under their Roach Motel alias to deliver a club-ready version with a punchier bassline alongside a dub as well as the Original Live ‘N’ Funky Mix. Roger Sanchez’s Garage Mix does exactly what it says on the tin, accompanied by a dub version. Futureshock lay down a garage-influenced mix alongside a Dub version and British production group X-Press 2 serve up a heavier bassline in their The X-Pressive Superdub Parts 1, 2 & 3, with their ‘Drums Before Grace’ version rounding of a killer funk-loaded package.
