thirty years ago, british youth culture was changed forever. the summer of love in 1988 saw house music spread like wildfire over the country, with thousands of young people dancing in fields, clubs and any spaces they could find.
one of the tracks that truly encapsulated this magical time was stirling void’s “it’s alright”. originally released on chicago’s seminal label dj international, the spine-chilling lyrics of positivity resonated in the hearts and minds of the acid house generation and are more relevant in today’s climate than ever. to celebrate 30 years since the summer of love, toolroom is proud to present a monumental remix package of this all-time classic, alongside the fully re-mastered original.
