"This Luther Vandross-like release is going to bless the dancefloors around the globe this summer when Raw Fusion premieres this Bennson release with pride! The badass Bamboos producer Bennson has gone real soulful with this fresh solo boogie project where the late '70s party feel of Marvin's 'Give It Up' and Luther's 'Bad Boy' give influence to his first single on Raw Fusion that will warm things up for the full-length. Whatever It Is Part 1 also features a fat bumpin' soulful house remix by Soul Tornado that will surely make all the female sex fall flat on the dancefloor this summer when all Raw Fusion supporters kick it real on the decks!"

"Last time we heard Bennson's 'Whatever It Is,' we got to feel the summer groove of the original and a bumpin' house remix by Soul Tornado. This time around, Sonar Kollektiv-signed producer Christian Prommer gets a good feel for the vocals and adds a heavy Detroit techno sound to it for all the heavier dancefloors to get high on. This is a true killer track with crushed bass lines and dubbed-out vocals that can get even the purest men and women high on life."

"New bomb from Simbad. When Marvin and Leon wrote 'After The Dance' in 1976, we doubt they ever thought anyone could ever remake it like Simbad and Melo did in the studio after Raw Fusion A&R Mad Mats came up with the idea for this wonder of a cover. This is a beauty to be felt deep down on the dancefloor. But not only Simbad goes jammin' with Melo. This time around our insect friends down in the West London cellars, Bugz In The Attic, take on the remix duties and deliver what might become another track of the year. With its soulful strings and cut-up beats, it's sure to swing away on most heavy dancefloors worldwide! On the flipside of this masterpiece, the Raw Fusion-signed funk fiend Phil Asher mixes up the previous Simbad release 'Supersonic Revelation' with the deepest 4/4 groove you'll ever hear on 12" vinyl!"

"Cut up, re-paste and break it down! New York-based Japanese producer Yellowtail, formally known as Hiro Awanohara, hits us up with his debut release on the Raw Fusion label. And what a debut -- it's got all those little finesses we like; raw, dirty, cut and paste beats with deep and sawed up bass lines. But not only that, we also get a fresh rhyme (Caribbean style!) by UK based MC Juakali to make us get jump up on it! And folks, this is just the flipside -- on the A-side of the vinyl release we get to go back in time, Michael J. Fox style! It's like something taken out of an old dark and dirty garage club in London back in the mid-'90s when Yellowtail remixes his own original grunt with this Ripgroove-like 4/4 production. With that old speed garage alarm and strings that will make you think of the rough early days of drum'n'bass, this smashing remix surely makes for a massive dancefloor hit!"

"Mr. Simbad is seriously hot right now! After the incredible success with his worldwide hit 'Soul Fever' which got played by EVERYBODY and is starting to pick up big time on UK radio he's now back with his second single 'Supersonic Revelation.' Continuing his trademark R&B/soul with a slight electronic touch he's teamed up with vocalist Abdul Shyllon (MDCL 'Relax Unwind') for some proper ghetto soul. It almost comes off like a Detroit house cut speeded down to an R&B tempo, but of course with a twist. To ensure that the tune also gets proper spins in the clubs we got the Marathon Men (Simbad & F. McQuinn) to deliver a fierce house remix that got both soul and a swingin' house thump! For the b-side we thought that no one could be better to remix 'Soul Fever' than our friend DJ Karizma. He's with no doubt the most hyped producer (and DJ) within soulful house right now. The mix has already been getting nuff spins by people like Gilles Peterson, Phil Asher, Kev Beadlei."

"Continuing in the always diverse and unpredictable spirit of Raw Fusion (no joke!) we now deliver a single release with two totally different aspects. On singer, songwriter and producer Demetrius Price's debut single 'No Holdin' Back' we get an original mix, which is a straight up soulful boogie tune with a slight broken touch that will appeal to the more soulful audience. But the remix by Markus Enochson's new alias Audiobuff is something totally different. Fusing the original parts with the sound of Berlin via Detroit and then back to Stockholm for an amazing minimal yet soulful tech-house venture that will sound massive on the bigger sound systems. Those of you feelin' the current sounds of Amé, Steve Bug or Carl Craig will go nuts on this one, we promise you. Big room tech-soul music with a dark and sexy edge!"
