Seven mile is the star of the show here but All my love(Feat Robyn) gives it a run for it's money imo. Absolute banger of a house tune.
Client242 Apr 7, 2023
Excellent pressing quality, clean and flat vinyl. No clicks on my copy.
Different versions / mixes of the tracks as on the digital release.
In my opinion, all tracks are real house bangers ;-)
umberto1 Feb 6, 2023
Absolutely essential for all Louie Vega fans and fans of quality house music. This is probably his strongest Album to date.
deejayabs Jan 12, 2023
The Moodymann track is the highlight of this LP IMO. Just a killer tune. Another Kenny Dixon Jr banger
cybercollector Nov 2, 2022
To be honest, I wasn't too keen on Louie Vega's extra-large sized, four-disc vinyl edition here. Oddly enough, it reminded me just too much of another still rather nice-sounding vocal House album that came as an extended triple-LP pack and, more importantly, sounds today also surprisingly a little fresher than Louie's production, despite it being nearly 25 years old.☝️Hard to believe, but true!

Compare Louie Vega - Expansions In The NYC and be the judge yourself 😉...

Ironically, both albums were released on Masters At Work. So if that doesn't mean coming full circle here...

☝️☝️☝️Anyway, it's time to wake up from your beauty sleep, because you have to be quick and better order now, otherwise you'll surely regret it later - Louie Vega, surprise, surprise, has just released a trio of double-pack 12″s:

* Louie Vega - Chimi / Change Your Mind / Atmosphere Strut,
* Louie Vega - The Star Of A Story / Love Has No Time Or Place / A Place Where We Can All Be Free
* Louie Vega - Joy Universal / Igobolo (Feelin' Love).

These 2x12"s feature special unreleased versions of select tracks from the Louie Vega - Expansions In The NYC album project! And these new mixes are really great and IMO also much better than the original songs 🫶.

Especially the Patrick Adams (R.I.P. both) is truly phenomenal. Again, don't sleep as pressings of these three double-vinyl sets are limited…😊👍.

Was there not a repress of this expected over summer... or have I missed it?
freddiebass Jun 21, 2022
worth it for just the moodymann vega track seven mile it's outstanding
dig-deep-records Jun 16, 2022
Sad to see people paying over the odds. It's always worth a quick google before pulling the trigger.
freshpeer May 25, 2022
Good news: there will be a repress in July 2022.
rschmieder May 16, 2022
Participation of Josh Milan is so pervasive this almost feels like a secret Blaze album, not "just" another impeccable Louie Vega all-star project. Yummy.
