Special vinyl

The latest classic record to get flipped by Italian reissue specialists Groove Records is Peven Everett's 'Special', a gorgeous chunk of organic soulful house that first appeared in stores way back in 2008. You'll find Everett's original mix nestling on side A. It naturally features his own sublime, life-affirming vocals, alongside extensive organ lines, jazzy guitar solos, rolling deep house beats and a bassline that sounds like a survivor from the jazz-funk era. This time round it comes accompanied by Timmy Regisford's 2009 'Remix' version, a heavier and slightly more electronic-sounding affair that's arguably better for peak-time dancefloor plays - largely because Regisford's beefed-up groove and positive-sounding synthesizer motifs pack a real punch.
