The Them On The Hill label is excited to welcome seasoned house music producer Chris Forman to their musical family. Based in New Jersey, Chris has a slew of classic releases on the likes of Bumpin City, Nite Grooves, Seasons, and – as Steal Vybe with Damon Bennett – King Street and Vega Records. Reaching Out To The World is Chris's Them On The Hill debut and is 'Part 1' in a promised continuing series. This double A-side single begins with "The Music (Soul4Real Dub)" which features gorgeous layers of instrumentation – including some particularly melodic piano lines – while a soulful voice pleads for us to "just let the track play." No coaxing necessary … this one's infectious enough to ride to the end. "SomeBody Else Tonight" follows with a beefier, old school flavor driven by a solid rhythm and bass track. The cut builds masterfully, and then a classic vocal sample makes an appearance giving this one a super-charged dose of dance floor fuel. Reaching Out To The World, Part 1 is here to thrill the die-hard heads and the deep house newcomers alike.
