Various '4 To The Floor presents Faya Combo' (4 To The Floor)
‘4 To The Floor presents Faya Combo’ is part of the 4 To The Floor vinyl and download series, compiled by Classic Records’ Luke Solomon. The 25 tracks here include timeless sun-kissed house cuts such as DJ Gregory’s ‘Elle’ and, of course, the never-fresher ‘Tropical Soundclash’, which had a very clear influence on next-gen producers such as Melé. Remixes from the likes of Tiger Stripes, Kerri Chandler, Kenny Dope are included, too, as are all of those classic Gregory Afro-house originals: overall, it’s a package which reminds you that at one particular point, an orange sleeve and black font was a trusted mark of quality house.
