On the A-side of the vinyl ´The NY House Trak´ is a classic dance floor killer and a highly anticipated release after causing mass destruction over the last year. Giving a firm nod to the likes of Todd Terry and Kenny Dope, the track embraces the raw elements and groove of a classic sounding NY joint, whilst keeping the sound fresh and contemporary. On remix duty we have Italian wonder kid Nicholas. This immeasurably talented producer steps up to the mark by delivering an amazing rework of ‘NY House Trak’ by adding his killer signature funked up b-line, classic beats and stabs.

Title track ´Can You Feel It?´ brings a deeper tip to the B-Side. Here, Gerd uses similar signature NY stabs, stuttered vocals and hypnotic breaks to craft another timeless house track that can work early doors, peak time or late into the after hours. On the remix US deep house don DJ Aakmael drops his signature atmospherics over a classy organ driven slice of deepness that only Aakmael can deliver. His remix plays with the original vibe teasing the raw original beats around a deep, soulful Aakmael synth roll that leaves you totally satisfied yet still wanting more.

For the exclusive digital remix, label boss James Cotterill and partner in crime Ross Elliott set to work on ´Can You Feel It?´ under their Elliott & Cotterill moniker – just the start of the pair’s creative offerings for Illusion.  Stripping down the original, they craft a driving dub with added atmospherics and moody stabs, tweaking the original groove and hook for maximum dance floor impact.
