During the mid-80s and early 90s Movin’ Records defined the New Jersey sound. A skate-shop-turned-record-store run by the so-called “fairy godmother of house” Abigail Adams, Movin’s first output was ‘I’ve Got The Music’ by Boyd Jarvis in 1987, followed by music from game changers Blaze, Kerri Chandler, Tony Humphries and Smack; straight up “Jersey jams” that producers are still attempting to replicate to this day. Still the Movin’ Records catalogue throws up gems that sound super fresh along with plenty of light bulb moments of musical discovery.
Whilst other singers in her field came from the gospel church, Dee Dee Brave was a member of the Presbyterian Church, where she adopted her smooth, laid-back and unusual style. ‘My My Lover’ was produced by a young Kerri Chandler, who would of course go on to take the dance floors of the world by storm with his signature stripped-down, kick-heavy productions. Already demonstrating a fully developed sound, fans of Kerri Chandler will hear his signature sound in this track. This pack also features mixes from Glen ‘Paradise’ Pinkney, together with another New Jersey native DJ, the late great David ‘Macho’ Camacho.
