HoneyLuv & Paul Johnson & Seth Troxler - Sex & The City EP

To mark the rebirth of their Tuskagee label aftera four-year hiatus, the Martinez Brothers and Seth Troxler have wisely chosen to release something suitably big: the latter’s collaboration with HoneyLuv, ‘Sex & The City’, a cut that pays tribute (and utilises his vocals from) sadly departed Chicago house legend Paul Johnson’s 1998 cut ‘So Much’. Available in explicit ‘Dirty’ and radio-friendly ‘Clean’ mixes, as well as a tidy instrumental, ‘Sex and The City’ is a seductive chunk of tech-tinged deep house rich in warped bass, rolling beats, sustained synth-strings, minor key melodies and male/female spoken word vocals. Detroit veteran Mark “MIK” Kinchen provides the obligatory big-name remixes, dropping a bouncy, organ-rich ‘Extended’ mix and a locked-in, bass-heavy Dub in his trademark garage-not-garage style.
