South Street International are back once again with the house goodness, re-releasing Vick Lavender’s house anthem "The L.O.V.E. Song (From Chicago To New York)". Originally self-released on his own Sophisticado Recordings imprint from the Chicago producer and musician, this is one of those timeless deep house gems that has become an underrated weapon for discerning DJs worldwide.
Lavender, known for his work with Glenn Underground as part of the legendary Strictly Jaz Unit, has been shaping deep and soulful house for over three decades, fusing world music, jazz fusion, R&B and more into a sound that is both spiritual and deeply rooted in the dancefloor. Here he brings the best of both cities together in one track - the soulful musicality of Chicago, the cosmopolitan sophistication of New York. A warm Rhodes, fluid percussion and vocal refrains ride a groove that works equally well for a dark basement session as it does for a sunrise terrace set. With originals selling for crazy prices on Discogs, this official repress makes this unmissable record accessible again. Carefully remastered by The Bakehouse and presented on South Street International, this record is a must-have for deep house lovers and anyone who believes in the eternal dialogue between Chicago and New York.
