RELEASE
Teflon Dons Featuring Gregory Porter - Tomorrow People
LABEL: Worldship
Worldship Music returns to celebrate a very special anniversary. Twenty-five years is a considerable span in any human scale, and within the realm of dance music, it constitutes an eternity. For a release to maintain enduring appeal over such a prolonged period, there must be something extraordinary about it. "Tomorrow People" is nothing short of extraordinary. Having released a limited 7" in 2019 featuring two versions, Worldship, in commemoration of its 25th anniversary, has undertaken a remaster and recut of the entire original 12" record, along with the addition of Bonus Beats as an anniversary gift. "Tomorrow People" marks the recorded debut of the now widely recognized jazz vocalist Gregory Porter, produced by the Teflon Dons. Despite numerous house music remixes of his tracks over the years (many of which are quite good), none surpasses this one, a true garage classic. The Main Mix has not seen a re-release since the original record, but its twisted synth chords and funky bass have not aged a second. The Original Mix is a darker, more minimal affair, allowing Gregory's vocals to take center stage. The Teflon Dub introduces additional percussion for those late-night deep moments. The Bonus Beats, as the name suggests, deliver precisely what's promised. Whether you were unaware at the time or perhaps not even born yet, you can now finally acquire a copy of this record without resorting to selling off any internal organs. And that is indeed a cause for celebration.
