Ronald Burrell s reputation as deep house royalty has long been solidified throughout the years having released on many legendary labels since the late 80 s including Nervous, Nu-Groove, Strictly Rhythm & many more. Working both solo and alongside his brother Rheji his output has always caught the interest and ears of dance music aficionados world-wide with a heady mixture of Gospel, Soul / R&B, Jazz, & Garage heavily informing his sound. Surprising as it is, -It s A Boy- was never released, only ever existing as a test pressing! The 4 track EP takes in all the musical influences listed above and flips them into some seriously deep territory. Opener -Journey- is an epic jam punctuated by an 808 cowbell, beautiful pads, strings and Ronald s voice asking us to join him on a journey through our own minds. Second cut -Feelin Jazzy- picks up the pace a little, a stripped back rhythm blessed with some choice, chopped up Jazz samples and vocal stabs keeps things moving in the right direction. Over on side-B we are treated to the deepest groove of -Bedtime Story-, which has all the trademarks of a classic Burrell production, soulful vocals, melodies and crisp drum programming. Closing track -The Crib- rounds things with off with a stomping church inspired organ groove, an up-lifting end to the EP. As mentioned above, this is the very first time this underground House classic has ever been released! This record is a real collectors piece and has commanded collectors prices on-line in the past, a real rarity. It has been re-mastered and re-pressed in conjunction with Ronald Burrell from his original DAT tapes and all original label artwork has been preserved.
