A soulful house classic from Blaze receives a remix from vinyl aficianado Natasha Diggs on Slip ‘N’ Slide. A connoisseur of funk and rare grooves, Natasha Diggs honed her craft in NYC, curating immersive sets that pay homage to the golden era of music and co-founding the groundbreaking, community-centred Soul in the Horn parties. Her taste level and skill has led to appearing on line-ups and sharing the stage with the artists like Honey Dijon, Mark Ronson, Grandmaster Flash, Jayda G and Erykah Badu – now she remixes ‘Breathe’ by Slip ‘N’ Slide legend Blaze. Natasha Diggs stays faithful to the original’s iconic saxophone and trumpet-led sound, sprinkling in her tasteful flair for smooth grooves and delicious synthwork at every turn.

Moodymann creates innovative soul funky music with deep 70s inspiration. The vocals are simply outstanding. A step back in time, 50 years ago! Superb. jef37
