2024 reissue, 12″, Groovin Recordings.
Way back in 1993, when his career was still in its infancy, Chicago great Roy Davis Jr donned an alternative alias, The Believers, and delivered a 12″ on Strictly Rhythm: ‘Who Dares To Believe In Me?’ It was something of a club smash, with Ministry of Sound issuing it in the UK a year later with a swathe of new mixes. This Groovin’ Records reissue boasts a trio of mixes from the original U.S 12″. On the A-side you’ll find the original mix, a warm, spine-tingling slab of piano-rich New York style house topped off by snaking, delay-laden saxophone lines and an inspirational spoken word vocal courtesy of Davis. Over on the reverse, Davis’ own ‘Just Living High Mix’ – a breezier, jazzier and more colourful affair – is followed by Mind Readers’ tougher, chunkier and heavier revision, which is in effect a proper dancefloor dub.
