Mona Lee aka Lissa Callens and WPH label man Red D go a long way back. Red D always knew it was a matter of time before Mona Lee would come up with some music he could not refuse. A gig together and the first notes of ‘The Reason’ and that was that.

Classic house that would make Kerri Chandler proud is the order of the title track. A bright piano melody, a good vocal hook and rough and ready beats in a crisp production that will shake up any dancefloor. Red D himself delivers a dub that focuses on the hooks and makes them shine even more on top of a killer funky bass line. For good U.S. house measure Atlanta’s finest Stefan Ringer steps up to deliver his trademark dusty twist on things. As a bonus you get ‘Spaces & Places’, a delicate organic deep house beauty with Mona Lee scatting ever so subtly to make you go out of your home and out of your head.

It’s house, it’s good and it will make you dance and sing.

DJ Bone: ‘Red D Dub’ is very nice!

Charles Webster: Lovely selection of mixes of a great vocal.

Simon Caldwell: Beautiful original house. Oldschool but super fresh. The dub and remix are great additions.

Jimpster: What a tasty E.P.! Lots of love on all four track, but the Stefan Ringer remix is just pipping it with his heads down late night mood!

Danny Krivit: Nice Red D Dub!

Horse Meat Disco (Severino): The Stefan Ringer remix is very MAW & India!
