Chez Damier & Ralph Lawson had a fruitful transatlantic series of records on Prescription Underground, 20/20 Vision under the name Chuggles. But their first co-production A Dedication to Jos was released on Detroit label Serious Grooves in 1993. Dedication was recorded in one session at Square Dance Studios in Nottingham and engineered by another deep house legend Charles Webster. Dedication became a timeless classic on both sides of America as the newly emergent West Coast scene in San Francisco fronted by DJs Mark Farina & DJ Garth picked up on it's fusion of deep house bass and haunting staccato vocals punctuated by a TB303 acid line and analogue synths undertones to play at the infamous Wicked Parties. It also became a firm favourite on the DIY free party rave scene over in the UK as well as the nascent tech house scene that was just starting to gather at parties such as Wiggle and back to basics of course.
The version of Dedication to Jos featured on this release is a brand new unreleased edit from ralph 'wulf' lawson after finding the 'lost' tape from the original studio session had another live pass on 30 years later. The Moments in Time EP is completed on the flp side with another unreleased version of Thank You, the track that Junior Vasquez rocked The Sound Factory NYC for years and of course The Moment itself, which has been re-mastered from Lost in Time Vol. One[info sheet from distr.]
