Some tracks are all softness and light and some tracks are all swagger. “You Know You Want To Get Up” has a bassline that will cause a nod in the more restrained and a regal strut in those who aren’t. Ralph Session produced this — the New York City producer has been doing the dirty work for more than a decade and a vocal disco house beatdown like this one is his benediction. With vocals by Chicago’s in-demand singer Carla Prather, “You Know You Want To Get Up” is loaded up on springs — bouncing with a contagious exuberance with the occasional roman candle of disco dust lighting up the night sky.

A pair of remixes come courtesy of Oliver Dollar and Jason Hodges working together (two producers I wouldn’t have guessed knew each other), with strong, almost punishing drums. Actually — true test of good music here — the instrumental is really a choice piece of work too.
