Here is an EP with a total of thirteen remixed versions of two songs, “Feelin’ Me” and “Luv 2 Luv U” [Broken Records].
I had to wait until track eleven, the RNB Mix of “Luv 2 Luv U” (purchase/download) to get excited because with the exception of track one, the Gruv Edit of “Feelin’ Me” (purchase/download) the remaining are really nondescript but bordering on bumpin’ beat monotony due largely to the sheer volume. Unless you are a DJ in the act and have a mix motive at hand, even the squeakiness of CoCo Michelle’s vocals cannot counteract being under whelmed. Understanding that this is just an EP and not an LP, maybe inside a more versatile album I could “feel it” more. Little to soothe my discomfort until tracks eleven and twelve: the Deutsch and instrumental remixes of the latter track. You can go straight-away to them and forego squandering any precious time.
His website chronicles all of Jesse’s accomplishments and leaves no stone unturned. I especially feel his quote, “DJ'ing is in my blood; a true DJ never grows out of it. There's nothing like the rush of controlling the crowd and having them yell for more." Here, here! We must have crossed paths as he played at New York City’s Sound Factory, Tunnel and Palladium back in the 1980s. I have a problem with his website where it says Jesse Saunders is the “originator” of House music, and that he “created the major music phenomenon in the early 1980's known around the world today as ‘House Music’.” That is like the various theories on who “discovered” America: Amergo Vespucci, Ferdinand Magellan, or Christopher Columbus? Be that as it may there isn’t much else to say about these two cuts but 2 historic Stars.
"Feelin Me" released 2007 on Broken Records. "Luv 2 Luv U" released January 15, 2008 on Broken Records.
