Do You Want Me Baby (The 30th Anniversary Edition)

Victor Simonelli made many terrific house records in the late '80s and early '90s, though few are quite as sublimely loved-up as his sole single as Cloud 9, 1992's 'Do You Want Me'. Brilliantly, Simonelli has approved this 30th anniversary reissue, with presents all four mixes from the original 12" in freshly remastered form. In its original 'Club Mix' form, 'Do You Want Me' is an unashamedly loved-up NYC deep house cut built from pleasingly skippy beats, saucer-eyed female vocals, smooth bass and prominent samples from Surface's boogie-era classic 'Falling in Love'. It comes backed by a tough drum dub (the 'Bonus Beats' mix), the accurately titled 'Deep Dub' and the rather luscious and lovely 'Dream Instrumental'.
