"Risin' Up" featuring the vocal talents of Zan Abeyratne. Zan was one of the lead vocalists in pioneering 80's Australian pop/dance band "I'm Talking" (which also featured Kate Ceberano) who enjoyed a string of hits including the Top 5 classic "Holy Word". Zan has also performed alongside the likes of U2, B.B. King & a host of both local and international talent; released a solo album in Europe and has gigged regularly at the Jazz Café in London alongside the likes of Brand New Heavies.

On the mix tip, the UK's E-Squire (Utah Saints, Rihanna, The Saturdays) delivers a hands-in-the-air house anthem & dub, as well as a piano-driven commercial house mix. Sweden's Niclas Kings (co-writer of NERVO's hits "This Kind Of Love" & "Irresistible") takes it down and dirtier with a oh-so-now electro groove. Kinnyboy (fresh from his remixes of Nick Bridges/Amanda Wilson's "Underneath My Skin" on S-Records) turns out a funky latin house vocal mix in the vein of Moloko's massive Sing It Back, featuring live brass, woodwinds & jazz guitar. Soon to be major player in the house scene, Sydney based Tikyo turns out a sunny Ibiza pool-side house groove. And to round it off, former PWL producer/mixmaster Pete Hammond (currently riding high with his remix of Kylie Minogue's "Put Your Hands Up") pays homage to the UK house grooves of the late 80's & early 90's with his club & dub mixes taking inspiration from classic PWL tracks.

StrictLove have also been working on further original tracks for their debut album due out early 2012, along with forthcoming remixes for other artists.
