Franky Boissy featuring Michael Watford "Back to my roots" (Purple Music Records CD Promo)
Franky Boissy has taken on the timeless Odyssey classic "Back to my roots" and together with the incomparable Michael Watford he delivers a magnificent cover. His original version is a smoothly stompin' affair full of funky flavors reminiscent of the 1981 classic. The Muthafunkaz rework the track into a resistless gospel house stomper, with their 'Huge Vibe Dub' being all about the vibes and the relentless groove. Italy's Luis Radio completes the package with a lovely reworking that is on a more laidback tip, preserving the classic funky feeling while adding some sweet balearic flavors to it.

Dennis Ferrer has been chosen to mix the 20th edition of the mighty "In the House" series by Defected, one of the best selling house mix series available worldwide. He is known first and foremost as a producer and remixer with the midas touch - just remember his timeless reworking of Blaze' "Most precious love" or the defining Fish Go Deep "The cure & the cause" which still bring the dancefloors to a frenzy. On the other hand, he became one of the most versatile and innovative producers in recent years, and with his debut artist album "The world as I see it" he delivered a masterpiece that deftly linked soulful vocals with stripped down techy flavours. On his two "In the House" mixes, Dennis Ferrer elegantly blends soulful house grooves with deep techy vibes and peak time monsters, illustrating why he is considered one of the most skilled and sublime producers and DJs today. As a bonus, the package includes a third CD with a collection of tracks that inspired Dennis Ferrer.
