The original mix is a glorious eight minute track that has a grooving nu-disco sound complete with soaring strings and a real ‘live’ instrumental effect, breaking down into a jazz cadenza that puts Navasha Daya’s uplifting soul vocals to work. Alaia & Gallo stormed onto Soul Heaven with ‘Who Is He?’ in April, a track that has made it to bona fide summer hit status with its smooth, deep and soulful vibe. They have a similar take on ‘Still In Love’, translating the nu-disco record into a track that could do some damage on the dancefloor alongside other main-room tracks. The legendary DJ Spen’s remix discovers the lower edges of the track, swapping out the instrumental sound for more of a deep-rooted house feel. <br /><br />‘Still In Love’ is a gem for lovers of nu-disco through to deep house, exploring the versatility of a truly great record, with some very well-conceived re-works.<br /><br />Defected Muzu: http://po.st/sbmuzu<br /><br />Defected YouTube is the home of house music with artists including MK, Sam Divine, Noir, Copyright, Nick Curly, Dennis Ferrer <br /><br />http://defected.com <br />http://twitter.com/defectedrecords<br />http://facebook.com/defectedrecords<br />http://soundcloud.com/defectedrecords<br />http://mixcloud.com/defectedrecords<br />http://defectedrecords.tumblr.com<br />http://instagram.com/defectedrecords
