Deep Sensation [1999] Somehow, Somewhere (There's A Soul Heaven) (Original Mix) [Fluential #fluent 9]

A bit of a random post inspired by seeing it posted on a facebook group today and commented on by an old friend from many years ago, Southport Weekender DJ Billy Davidson. 

It's "Somehow, Somewhere (There's A Soul Heaven)" from Glaswegian duo Deep Sensation (Colin Gate (a former Northern Soul DJ) and hip-hopper Paul Hunter) originally released in 1998 but subsequently had several different mixes applied. 

The duo recorded under several different aliases such as Space Jam, Brother Of Soul, Second Crusade, Red Hook Project and others dependent on the type of music they produced. They were active between 1995-2003 but shunned the limelight, so very little is actually known about them.

We've selected the original mix from 1999 which is a little less 'Housey' than other mixes. The track samples Ultra High Frequency's (Bobby Eli) "We're On The Right Track" (1973) (also recorded by South Shore Commission in 1975 and written by Philly's Norman Harris and Alan Felder) with vocal overdubs from Syl Johnson's "Is It Because I'm Black" (1969).

It charted twice on the UK pop chart reaching #88 first time around in May 2001 and #74 in Sep 2004 (both times it stayed on chart for only one week) and is dirt cheap to pick up on 12" vinyl.

It's also available digitally via Traxsource.
