The Hype:
Definitely a King Street Classic, renowned House Music songstress Kimara Lovelace's "Circles" spent a week at #1 on Billboard's Hot Dance Music Club Play Chart way back in 1998. It had remixes by Grammy Winner Hex Hector and super studio master Phillip Damien, Hippie Torrales, and Hiroshi Watanabe, and it would go on to be one of the highest-selling singles in the catalog. Now around 15 years later, it sees a revival with soulful, deep, tech-house and pumpin' remixes by Tony Loreto, riCkY inCh and Soneec. On this package, 9 total new school and old school mixes are presented to take you back and move you forward. Did we mention background vocals on this song were done by Kenny Bobien and Shawnee Taylor? Big shout out and hands up for Jorma Puusaag doing the finest guitar jamm in here and Heikko Remmel for that groovy baseline!
We live to relive - NYC finest house label King Street Sounds.
