Future Groove continue to set standards with some of the most brilliant house music of the moment. Their next release comes from the revered and hugely respected artist JAMEZ. 'People Will Believe' is the superb first track from the long awaited 'Dreamchasing' album and the lead track on this release. The track is an inspired and delicately crafted piece of music. Intelligent and timeless, the depth and detail to his production, which is glaringly evident here, is a staple of what has made him so successful and popular for so long.
Jamez was part of a Dutch triumvirate – the other 2 being DJ Zki and Dobre – that helped transform European house music in the early 90's. Working closely with Dutch outfit Touche Records, they produced a series of consistently great singles of wildly differing styles ranging from the jazzy (Jamshed), deep (51 Days), and the acclaimed harder style of Tata Box Inhibitors and Trancesetters. While most UK DJs looked to the US for new records, oddly lots of American DJs – Danny Tenaglia being a particular fan - championed this new European style.
His eclectic, open minded approach to music is undoubtedly his genius. His original version of 'People Will Believe' is flawless and has already made it's way into the charts and minds of key supporters such as Nick Warren, Seb Fontaine and Hernan Cattaneo. The opening is a ghostly gurgling that eases you effortlessly into the darkness of the track. There is a ethereal quality behind this low slung, driving piece of new electronica.
The Quivver mix of 'People will Believe' adds a completely new dimension to the record, it flips the track into the arena of funky techno with a charging bassline that bounces right through you. A guaranteed floor filler, the awesome purveyors of the quality peak time groove deliver on this remix. Dave Seaman, Sasha, Bill Hamel and Deep Dish are already keen supporters and it looks set to be massive in the dance floor in 2003.
On the flip comes the Smith and Selway mix alongside 'Test Pilot' which is an equally effective piece of music; a deep-as-the-pacific house cut that adds strength to the belief that Jamez is an extraordinary producer. The more you hear the more you appreciate and the more you understand the complexity of the music. This is not music that has been boshed together and banged out…it is intelligent and beautifully crafted music that stands apart from your average dance CD.
