Robert Owens is absolutely one of the voices of his generation. He has lent his tender tones to more classic tracks than you could possibly mention and he continues to do so nowadays with a wholeness generation of producer who want a touch go his authenticity.

Nico Lahs takes it on with a heavy house groove and Scott Hess brings some classic acid jack to his version.

Needwant is proud to present a truly unique package of ‘Interpretations’ featuring the Chicago legend Robert Owen’s brand new ‘One Body’ vocal as individually sound tracked by four of house music’s most exciting producers and Needwant friends and family, Kaine, Mario Basanov, Nicholas and No Regular Play. Robert Owens is widely regarded as a bona-fide originator from the 80’s golden era of Chicago house. Revered for his creations with Larry Heard as Fingers Inc. and responsible for club classics including ‘Ordinary People’ and ‘I’ll Be Your Friend’ (recently remastered and remixed for 1Trax), these days Owens continues to explore new terrain with diverse output and collaborations with the likes of Photek and Coldcut. It is Owens’ velvet, deep, soulful voice that has been a constant thread throughout the history of dance music. Nicholas is the humble Italian disco producer who was last seen on Needwant dropping a stunning remix for Mario Basanov’s ‘Up’ release. His ‘One Body Interpretation’ is a classic house workout with crisp kicks and pulsing synths and bass and the result is a track that could easily be mistaken for an old school 90’s house record. No Regular Play are the unstoppable musical minds of Greg Paulus and Nick De Bryn from the Wolf + Lamb camp and their ‘Interpretation’ moves the body on a deeper level with chugging slo-mo house grooves, syncopated beats and a mid-point transition that melts with deep chords and muted jazz. Young Lithuanian, Mario Basanov lends his dextrous touch to ‘One Body’ with languid house grooves, clipped beats and evolving patterns of warm keys and harmonies. Kaine is already well known to Needwant fans for his monster hit ‘Love Saves The Day feat. Kathy Diamond’ (due a re-release on Defected this year.) With his ‘Interpretation’ he brings the bass, with rolling percs, club worthy piano stabs and dreamy chords. A flawless union between a veteran and a new generation of artists, ‘One Body’ is a true reflection of the Needwant label’s love for classic sounds and dedication to raising the stars of the future. With such a high calibre of artists in its stable, the label has fast become a beacon of originality and class.

NDATL continues with a release from Detroit soldier Norm Talley (Upstairz Asylum) Right out the gate Norm deep aggressive sound comes across loud & clear on "Gonna Be". Then down deep in the sound of "Power" where spoken words give insight. Side B "The Bounce" should have dancefloors worldwide doing just that. "The Truth" no longer needed to be sought cause here it is in musical form. And a stray away from the usual Norm Talley we get the softer side "Dearly Beloved" ft Jerald Dameyon.

There's a reason Kai Alce's name consistently comes up when the topic is exceptional house music. The NDATL label boss's remix of the Dangerfeel Newbies' "What Am I Here For" takes the soulful number to heights beyond the original's already heady groove. J'Piccola sings with a perspective that's like bopping through the city, skyscrapers above giving dimension to the groundwork so necessary for love and progression. His vocals match the pace of propelling keyboards by Chris Irvin and DelvynW. Saxophone by Quinn Mason adds an element that in Alce's Distinctive hands becomes a part of all things classic house: deep, melodic, and ultimately, free. That's particularly true of the KZR's Late Night Mix. It harkens the wee hours with a shuffle, leading keys and pinpoint bass. The Piano Instrumental puts keys front and center, with a few jazzy chords that recall the hippest, dopest brunch you've ever attended. The entire project is very much Atlanta-grown, representing its strong, interconnected music and art scene. All the key contributors are based in the city, from Alce and the Dangerfeel Newbies, to acclaimed visual artist Radcliffe Bailey, who created the album art, and tastemaking graphic artist Steve DeNiro, who designed the album layout. After small promo run in Japan the gem gets a full worldwide release with alternate mixes and Kai Alcés bonus DISTINCTIVE remix of "Swingin With The New Jack" previously unavailable.
