Coming soon: Jazz

Review: This second instalment in the Spring Revisited series—a collaboration between Acid Jazz and Ace Records—offers two expertly handled edits from across the Atlantic rooted in the fertile legacy of 70s New York soul. London’s Dave Lee reinvents The Joneses’ ‘Love Contest’ with his trademark finesse, giving the track a full-bodied groove-up without losing its bittersweet heart. The strings soar, the rhythm section locks tight, and Lee’s decades-deep knowledge of disco and boogie shines through in every detail. On the flip, New York-based Coleen ‘Cosmo’ Murphy brings lush new life to Street People’s ‘I Wanna Get Over’. With sun-drenched keys, crisp hand percussion and subtle delays, she transforms heartache into late-night liberation. Both sides feel like love letters from DJ to dancefloor—classic soul refracted through contemporary ears, pressed on wax that looks and feels like it just time-travelled from 1979.
