When You Find Your Love... Hold On (25th Anniversary Mixes) [12"]

Alistair Colling vs. Tortured Soul ft. Sabina - When You Find Your Love... Hold On (25th Anniversary Mixes) [12"]

25 years ago at the turn of the millennium, downtown NYC was spoiled with record stores. In this pre-digital age vinyl was king for club DJs, and shops such as Downtown 161, Dance Tracks, Vinyl Mania peppered lower Manhattan, thriving businesses that supported an expanding scene of local and international DJs. Perhaps the largest and most established of these was Satellite Records, an institution of club sounds that also spawned multiple record labels, including the deep-house imprint Central Park Recordings. 

At this time, Central Park Recordings and Satellite Records owner Scott Richmond signed a demo in need of a vocal from young British producer Alistair Colling, and he enlisted John Christian Urich to write it, who in turn brought in Sabina Sciubba of then newly-formed band Brazilian Girls to record the vocal. Not wanting to confuse this release with his project Cooly's Hotbox, Christian chose a new name and the legendary live soulful house project Tortured Soul was born. Tortured Soul subsequently released the massive early 2000's deep house tracks "I Might Do Something Wrong," "Fall In Love", and "How's Your Life", as well as touring as a groundbreaking live-house act to this day (of which RNT co-founder JKriv was bassist and collaborator for 10 years).

For the 25th anniversary of this turning point release, Razor-N-Tape has rebooted and remastered the original and classic Jon Cutler mixes, which have never been reissued in any format since the original release. RNT also commissioned two exemplary new remixes from DJ Spinna and musclecars, connecting the dots between the deep-house lineage of the past and present. Presented in a gorgeous jacket that calls back to the graphical style of the original Central Park Recordings aesthetic, this 12" is an absolute essential for any lover of soulful club sounds, or purveyor of NYC dance music history.
