Various Artists - Spring Originals

Facts Last year Ace Records (in collaboration with Acid Jazz) shone a new light on Spring Records’ illustrious catalogue with their “Spring Revisited" project, which opened up the label’s vaults to some of the most credible names in dance music to work on new versions of records that had lit up their life. A New York label, Spring developed alongside the NYC club scene, from underground loft parties, through disco super clubs and on into hip-hop and the Paradise Garage. In short order an illustrious collection of producers, including Dimitri From Paris, Kenny Dope, Dave Lee, Joe Claussell were turning in mixes that filled floors. Dimitri and Joe’s mixes topped the UK vinyl charts and others were close behind. Now, with “Spring Originals", we are spotlighting the original versions of the songs that were reimagined on the 12"s and the compilation album that accompanied them.
