OOFT!: ReWorks Volume 1 (Sade) Vinyl 12″

It’s hard to go wrong with Sade. The legendary songstress has been remixed many times over the years for better or worse, but in the case of this OOFT rework, it’s definitely “for the better.” Here OOFT (aka UK producer Ali Herron) gives “Pearls” off Love Deluxe a gorgeous deep house makeover. With lush strings floating atop deep bass, andhefty 4×4 kick, OOFT is able to bring emotion to the dancefloor and it sounds stunning. Flipside ups the intensity with the driving grooves of “Wow.” Vinyl-only releaseon 140 gram import vinyl (sorry digi-DJs).
