You'll
be singing along, clapping your hands and stomping your
feet to our next release. This God Dam Soulful funky
offering of a house track, has all the ingredients a
good release needs.
"Make
It Real" is available with four mixes on vinyl.
All the mixes utilize the powerful vocals of Anzania
and contain infectious bass lines, melodic chords, strings,
funky guitars and a very hooky chorus.
The
Vocal Club Mix is yet another mighty fine mix by the
undisputed kings of production Mix2inside, the mix delivered
has a touch of class.
Matteo
jumps up the tempo with the Digital Funk Mix that shakes
ass!
The
Groovy & the original mixes portray an 80's commercial
funk sound, to be appreciated by the younger & the
older generations.
"Make
It Real" was Written by A. Steady - J. Baamil and
all the Vocals have been performed by Azania, and what
a talent & voice Azania possesses.
Azania
performs and collaborates on numerous projects, notably
in House music. Amongst these collaborations is "Dance
heaven" which she created with Club Session for
the U.S. Music label, Chez Music and more recently,
Azania and the Mix2Inside team began their precious
collaboration with "Show Me A Sign", released
under the name of Zahra, soon to be licensed for the
UK and USA.
In
1991 Azania joined the well-renowned hip-hop band, Duty
Free. Duty Free released their debut album, Elimin'hate
- fear of a united planet in 1995. Azania has worked
in various bands, recorded on over a dozen albums, and
performed in major music festivals both internationally
and nationally. 1998 took Azania to Paris on three occasions
to compete with other vocalists in the popular French
television showcase "Graines de Star" (an
M6 broadcast). Azania has shared the stage with many
established artists, notably Ricky Martin, Sheryl Crow
and Lara Fabian & on all three occasions Azania
unleashed her vocal prowess and took centre stage with
three jaw-dropping wins.

Received it and I'm still getting my head around it.
It is a very nice production and it sounds great!
Curtis
Zack, Resident at Venus (Manchester) Warehouse and Glasshouse
(Leeds), Cool Cuts chart contributor, Freelance writer
for Blues Soul Magazine (UK), DJ Times (USA) Best Mix:
"Matteo's digital funk". Very good - in the
box. Review for DJ Times Magazine in April: A fine example
of an up-tempo feel-good house tune with solid vocals
and harmonious keys throughout.
DJ Marco
Smith, Uberdisko Records and Flaunt
Both the main mixes work really well on the floor. Very
warm and loving track but my heart lies with the "Matteo
Digital Funk Mix". It's a bit more punchy; this
one will do well. Charted no.7 (21/04/04), no.8 (14/04/04
and 05/05/04).
DJ Alex Kidd, Goodgreef/ HQ Amsterdam I'm into the vocals,
I'll be sure to drop this in my warm-up sets. There's
always a Born To Dance buzz!

Gavin White,

Solid production, a good release that should work well
within the compilation markets and late night radio.
Chris Brophy
@ TheDynamiteNetwork.Com and CMP Radio FM 87.7, Manchester
Preferred Track: Mix2Inside Vocal Club This release
is a DJ tool undoubtedly!
I've played the track each week since receiving it and
feedback from listeners about the show in general during
the 1hr mix is very positive. Loving the Mix2Inside
vibe! Hard to judge exactly what listeners think about
this exact track when you can't see them (radio!) but
I find it slips into my set perfect, especially when
I'm doing 'Full Intention' style shows. Bigger than
Jordan's knockers this one!!! Love to hear more Mix2Inside
work in the future
DJ Ian
Tonner, KIX 96.2 FM Tonner's Dance Delivery
Once again the Born To Dance crew produce a summer classic
that only they can, the soulful vocal and the house
baseline go together like Starski & Hutch but we
haven't got to wait 25 years to see this again as most
clubs and bars will be playing this all summer, It's
a tune that you here once and feel like it's been in
your box for years as the crowd reaction matches that
of an old classic as the vocal kicks in.
I first played this tune on the same night that I interviewed
Robbie Rivera and visited David Morales @ Rouge B'ham
and both would play this tune in there sets if they
could get a copy. Charted no.12 on 03/05/04, and no.
17 on 22/05/04.
Brian Cheetham,
Ministry of Sound Radio/Juice FM
Beautiful track!!! I'm playing the Mix2Inside track.
It's got soul and elegance with a dreamy melody. Glad
to see Born to Dance are keeping the standards high
as ever, their belief and passion in the music is blatant.
I have to say the "Groovy Radio Edit" is my
fave but there's no 12 inch version of it.
Mikey Gallagher, Ministry of Sound Played it at the
Ministry - would love a 'dub mix' of it!
Jesse James, Pinnacle Records Nice happy vibe to this,
some good quality in the arrangement too. Production
is top!

group.
