An all-time classic from the early days of US house music, Raze ‘Break 4 Love’ gets a much deserved remastered reissue on Champion. A seminal track from back in ’88, simple yet oh-so effective, with a grooving bassline, breakbeat loops, synth stabs and blissful vocals. Timeless business that still gets the hairs on the back of your neck standing up every time it gets played.

With the original mix cut loud and proud on the A side, the flip side houses the Our Tribe Club Remix that gave a ravey 1994 tinge to proceedings, switching up the bassline for a more late night club-ready feel whilst spicing things up with chest rattling, fist-pumping synth stab section.

A1 - Break 4 Love (Michael Gray Rework)
B1 - Break 4 Love (Rob Made Disco Mix)

As Champion Records celebrates its landmark 35th anniversary in 2020, the legendary label unearths another gem from its impressive catalogue - Raze ‘Break 4 Love’ from 1988 - and gives the house classic a fresh update with a set of special remixes from Michael Gray and Rob Made.

First up, veteran of the scene Michael Gray puts his signature touch on ‘Break 4 Love’ adding extra percussive elements and sensuous sound effects, alongside filtering, echoing and enhancing in all the right areas. Through this Gray stays true to the original whilst providing a fresh take on the ’88 classic.

The flip side houses Rob Made’s Disco Mix. With ‘Break 4 Love’ being one of Rob Made’s “all-time favourite house records, a love song for the floors”, he showcases the “instantly recognisable snare and drum pattern” turning it into a shimmering disco house cut.

Two essential remixes of this all-time classic.

Strictly Rhythm throw open the archive for this limited white vinyl 2021 repress of an all time soulful house anthem! A creation of the master at work himself Mr. Louie Vega, alongside Mood II Swing's Lem Springsteen, 'Beautiful People' is one of those mid 90's NYC jams that ticks all the boxes. A record that was built for huge sound systems and joyous packed, sweaty dancefloors and one that features the supreme vocal skills of Barbara Tucker in full flow. It has all the trappings of a classic. The A-side is the same as the original 1994 pressing with the now legendary 'Underground Network' mix opening proceedings, a roof-raising piece of organ led, gospel tinged goodness complete with it's iconic 'deep deep inside, deep down inside' vocal refrain slap bang in the middle for the sample spotters. Also included are the wonderfully stripped back and bumping 'Beautiful Reprise' mix and the original monster 'Club Mix' which sees Louie's MAW cohort Kenny Dope Gonzales at the desk on mixing duties (again, rinsing the amazing 'deep inside' vocal to great effect) and finally, to round off this essential package we are treated to a deep as you like Mood II Swing dub mix that is all swirling pads and organs, taking us into the early hours in style. A more solid and essential repress of a classic record you'd be hard pressed to find!

As one of the most in demand producers of the halcyon period of house in the early 90s, this special delivery features three gems from MK’s early career. Opening the A-Side with vocal house masterpiece ‘Burning’, on the flip are two of MK’s most loved collaborations with Alana, first the deep and piano-lined ‘Always’ (Club Mix), before the soulful club anthem ‘Love Changes’. This release highlights the timeless quality of MK’s catalogue, with three cuts that truly stand the test of time.
