In 2018, the long-serving gospel-house group Jasper Street Co. returned to action with their critically acclaimed ‘Rejoicing’ album, their first together in 16 years. Consisting of vocalists Randy Roberts, Vonita White and Richard Burton, as well as producers Teddy Douglas and DJ Spen, Jasper Street Co. have been bringing light to the more soulful, spiritual and rousing side of the house genre for over 25 years now and received a Grammy nomination for Best Remixed Recordings for Louie Vega’s remix of ‘Praying For You’ in 2020. The group’s releases have found a home on Teddy Douglas’ The Basement Boys label for the most part until more recently linking up with the famous New York imprint Nervous Records.
German artist Tensnake who is renowned for various releases on Armada Music, Defected and True Romance Records adds his signature, playful aesthetic to the remix of ‘You’re My Latest, My Greatest Inspiration’ featuring bouncy bass plucks, euphoric grooves and irresistible vocals accompanied by an instrumental version. Next up, Glitterbox and M2MR artist, Dr Packer offers up an enticing remix with organic percussion, uplifting strings that sit wonderfully underneath the graceful chords and inspiriting moods.
Esteemed artist Teddy Douglas has produced for the likes of Michael Jackson, Lenny Kravitz, Crystal Waters and is an important figure in the development of the Baltimore “House” Sound. He delivers a remix which touches on elements of soul, funk, disco and house as the pulsing drums bounce elegantly off the celestial synths and enchanting atmospheres. To round things off the legendary house producer and Code Red label boss, DJ Spen collaborates with Baltimore-based multi-instrumentalist, Mic Freak – championing their spiritual house sound on their version of ‘You’re My Latest, My Greatest Inspiration’ as the nostalgic moods shine through while the raw kicks and highs fuse deftly with rolling snares and gratifying harmonics.
