While Ralf GUM's Uniting Music artist album has been given a May release date (to be reviewed on Spirit of House soon), we can enjoy his collaboration with Detroit-based poetry artist Carolyn Ferrari - better known as Diamondancer - on "All This Love For You", a track where she gives us her personal view of her first decade in house music. Ralf GUM's original is a hypnotizing affair featuring fierce chords over a relentlessly swingin' groove that is guaranteed to get the dancefloors packed. The remixes are courtesy of Rocco who adds his unique style to the track, turning out a soulful tech-house masterpiece on his 'Main Mix', while his 'Spoken Mix' is on a slightly deeper, more laidback late night/early morning vibe. With various instrumentals and beat versions included, this one is not be missed.
