Celeda

Free Your Mind (12-inch)

*69

This is your momma’s house. The fascistic 4/4 that throbs to the marrow, commanding you onto the dance floor. The forceful gospel growl of a sister takin’ you to chu’ch. An ecstatic fervor that can only be found in late-night clubs and early-morning revival meetings. E-Smoove minimalizes the song down to pure raw power, pounding the beat and Celeda’s fantastic voice into your skull. Rainer Pototschnig, with his Airmale mix, bangs it out to funky glory. Either version works wonders for the house enthusiast.
