While killer collaborations with dance heavyweights such as Erick Morillo, Sonny Fodera, Harry Romero and more has resulted in nothing other than mind-blowing dance weapons.

And Gene Farris’ New Jack City is looking like another hit for the history books. Striking all of the right chords, the EP has everything there is to love about house, boasting hair-raising bass and rhymical rolls set to ripple to all corners of the dancefloor.
