During the mid-80s and early 90s Movin’ Records defined the New Jersey sound. A skate-shop-turned-record-store run by the so-called “fairy godmother of house” Abigail Adams, Movin’s first output was ‘I’ve Got The Music’ by Boyd Jarvis in 1987, followed by music from game changers Blaze, Kerri Chandler, Tony Humphries and Smack; straight up “Jersey jams” that producers are still attempting to replicate to this day. Still the Movin’ Records catalogue throws up gems that sound super fresh along with plenty of lightbulb moments of musical discovery.
Originally licensed from New Jersey indie label Ace Beat Records, Tony Humphries remixed ‘Let The Rain Come Down’ to become an anthem on dancefloors and radio shows around the world. Produced by Ace Mungin together with Tyrone Payton, it features uplifting vocals from Khison Vuane and a first appearance from Jasmina Oliver, whose distinctive voice would grace many songs from the exploding New Jersey dance scene. Featuring several previously unreleased Tony Humphries mixes, including dubs, instrumentals and an accapella, this is an essential release for soulful dance music lovers, classic house music collectors and creative DJs.
