Already played by Danny Howard in his BBC Radio 1 show, the Groove Armada remix amplifies the wonder of Joe Smooth’s legendary classic.

Groove Armada: “'Some of the key rules of show business: never work with children and animals, and don’t try to remix one of the greatest house records of all time that you’ve closed a 100+ sets with. But we couldn’t say no to Joe Smooth, and we hope to have done it some justice.”

Add to that their prowess and aptitude as remixers and you’ll be able to grasp the full extent of their magic touch, as shown in their remix of ‘Promised Land’.
