i think ron trent is one of the best in the business when it comes to remixing non-house songs since he makes an effort to make songs as well as something that work in the club. this remix for instance has jills vocals and raphael saadiqs chords and melodies woven into the track and really well. there is so much thought into the production and just the percussive programming along is stunning.
reason i was suprised when i first heard the song was that it wasn't a bootleg remix since he has the vocals and full parts but it never got properly released. finding out why was quite a mystery since there was no clear answers but i think i know why. i managed to piece together some info via the two threads at deephousepages about this track.
basically there was meant to be a jill scott remix album that would have come out in 2009 or so and ron trent was asked to do a remix. for whatever reason this remix album never came out and i think it might do with either some eleventh hour shelving or fact that scott was leaving her label. ron trent was playing the record in his sets and had given it to a couple of other djs and then there was just this wait.
i think he put out a limited single sided white label with the remix and then a second white label came out with a new version on the flip. it's well worth trying to find one of those copies since the remix is quality however i know the record is not for everyone. but i like ron trent and jill scott so i love it.
buy here (itunes)
second edit: this has been released now but it comes with a problem that you can't buy it separately. since the remix clocks in over 10 minutes it is album only on both itunes & amazon.
