Roy Davis Jr., a legend who began his career by joining the legendary Chicago house/acid house group PHUTURE, taking over for DJ PIERRE. A reissue of the 1996 track “GABRIEL (Gabrielle),” featuring Peben Everett on vocals. Led by the “Live Garage Mix”—a promo vinyl later re-released by XL Recordings that commands prices well over 10,000 yen—this release also serves as a bridge to Roy Davis Jr.’s *Men from the Nile II*, released the following year and which went on to become a classic, particularly in NYC. It’s said to have been beloved in the UK as a Speed Garage classic as well, making it an important track in UK dance culture. The low-frequency bass is incredible, so please give it a listen at full volume. (Original Japanese text by Saito)
