Lenny Fontana – Spirit Of The Sun (Steve Gurley Remix)
Snow covers the ground and we’re in the middle of the worst cold snap in x-amount of years, but the sun is shining here in London and it is bright out there, so this tune is less unseasonal than you might think at first!
Following on from Body Heat here is another devastating 2-Step Garage lick from back in ‘98: skipping syncopated beats with a couple of big bass Waaaaarps and some “heeey yeah”s is all we get by way of introduction, then Shine on! Shine on! Shine on!, the awesome bassline drops along with one of the sharpest 2-step beats ever and the tune is away.
Despite being over ten years old the overall effect here sounds totally futuristic to my old codger’s ears, and probably always will, no matter how far into the future we actually get.
I’ll sign off with a slightly belated Happy New Year to you all! Hope you had fun over the festive season and that 2010 has plenty of good things in store!

Great, great Steve Gurley remix… just when someone will be able to compile all his remixes and release it? He's never short of amazing…
JL – your absolutely right, somebody should, especially after that El-B retrospective last year, & Steve Gurley is at least equally important a figure head in the history of the UK bass scene, having said that Kev is certainly doing him justice with his series of Gurley-related posts, props Kev, keep up the sterling work!!!
Cheers, Scott – you have a good memory! I think the last Gurley-related posts I did were last Easter!
