Phil R

In the 90's, D.D. Klein was a recognized model and singer. She performed vocals in the commercial TV spot of Amaro Ramazzotti and in some pretty commercial tracks, e.g. "Loving Times" by W.E.B. Then she had a sudden change of mind and has completely retired, making a total change of her lifestyle for very personal reasons. So when Steve Paradise came with her vocals and asked me to produce the record I was quite surprised. But the vocals were recorded some years ago, when probably she was still active. And this single that we at Kolonki Recording are now releasing is probably the very last featuring her vocals.

With sweet and deep vocals, from my side I have made a very classic deep soulful version, while for the rest of the production I've tried to cover a wide range of audience, with versions by Enrico Mantini for the deep-tech lovers and The Messenger (funky-deep, very clubby). And Steve's original mix has the real "soul" of the song.

Track is released on Traxsource as promo for 15 days and then on Beatport, Stompy, and Junodownload from Sep 9th.

It was 1996 when Dihann Moore was performing at BBC on "Top of the pops" singing "Gimme Luv" by Alcatraz. Since then, a lot of live performances and some minor singles with other labels. 15 years after Dihann Moore has evolved, even in the showbiz (he has founded her own entertainment company) and it was a pleasure for me to produce with Peter her comeback single as a solo artist for Kolonki Recordings.

The song was written by me and Erica Occhiello, while the mixes you can find on the 12" single have been done by me (2 mixes, Deep and 80'Funk), The Messenger (very cool deephouse producers from Croatia) and Davidson Ospina.

The digital version of the single is available on Beatport, Traxsource and Juno Digital.
