During the mid-80s and early 90s Movin’ Records defined the New Jersey sound. A skate-shop-turned-record-store run by the so-called “fairy godmother of house” Abigail Adams, Movin’s first output was ‘I’ve Got The Music’ by Boyd Jarvis in 1987, followed by music from game changers Blaze, Kerri Chandler, Tony Humphries and Smack; straight up “Jersey jams” that producers are still attempting to replicate to this day. Still the Movin’ Records catalogue throws up gems that sound super fresh along with plenty of lightbulb moments of musical discovery.
New York’s dance legend Boyd Jarvis returns to Movin’ Records to further define the New Jersey sound, co-writing and producing this emotional dance record featuring New Jersey songstress Valerie Ingram. This package features three soulful vocal mixes including Boyd Jarvis’ epically expressive ‘Morning Piano Mix’, an instrumental that should not be overlooked.
