(Very) Occasional providers of half decent house Hooj have once again been tempted back into the fray, as former full time honcho Jerry Dickens pulls together a team of new and old heads to remix Candi Staton's ecstatic mid 90's invocation to the big man, her old bearded pal in the skies.
Brookes brothers turn in the surprise of the package with a 4/4 electro-disco mix, commercial but cool, and likely to make a lot of sense on the right summer dancefloor. New North London upstart Polar Snares comes in next, employing driving, broken beats and tense riffs to bring out the intensity of the song and add post-bass sensibilities. Space Coast keep it deep and cosmic on the dub mix
