One of the finest and most respected house music producers the UK has ever produced, Steve Mac, releases the second single from his album, ‘Bless This Acid House’. ‘One Day’ is a house track that has all the hallmarks of a classic — think Frankie Knuckles ‘Tears’, or ‘I’ll Be Your Friend’, with its deep and memorable male vocal.
‘One Day’ has the aesthetics of a Chicago house cut recorded 30-something years ago, but with some modern production techniques and hazin’ and phasin’ FX. Its expansive sound is due to it being mixed down in Steve’s analogue-filled studio on the south coast of England.
So how about the vocal? When you’re looking for an instantly recognisable, positive, soulful house music vocalist to brighten up your track, who better to call on than the legendary Robert Owens — probably the greatest house music male vocalist of them all, and the man whose golden voice graced the above-mentioned classics.
“One day… we will all be free.”
The utopian vision Robert sings about on ‘One Day’ — when we’re all free of divisive hate, corrupt politicians and wage slavery in order to simply pay the bills — is glimpsed sometimes on the finest dancefloors. Happy smiling people of all colours and creeds, on a level, united by the universal language of emotive house music. This track will bring euphoria and rapture to dance parties the world over. Can you feel it?
