Detroit, 1988. Detroit, early house, and vocal house—genres that have left their mark on the history of house and electronic dance music. Kevin Saunderson. This classic track is defined by its vocals, the universality of its lyrical phrases, synthesizers like the TB-303 and 909, drum machines, and a dub-like feel. Although the track has been released in various forms, including remixes, this 2026 Edition from KMS features a remastered version that includes “Good Life (Inner City Edit Of Carl Craig Remix)” and the “Dub Mix.”
Kevin Saunderson is one of the legends who helped shape the Detroit sound alongside Juan Atkins and Derrick May.

It remains an iconic presence in house scenes worldwide and in the “Second Summer of Love,” and continues to be loved today, with constant references and sampling.

▫️information▫️ 『Soul Quest Records returns with Maintain Altitude 2, a fearless, floorfocused statement that captures the pulse of London’s underground while stretching its sound across borders. This second instalment doesn’t just build on the energy of the first; it elevates it, locking into a groove that feels both timeless and fu...Read moreture-facing. Deep house, broken beat, jazz-infused electronics it’s all here, and it hits hard. Opening the release, Slxm Sol - Lead The Way sets the tone with lush Rhodes chords, rich low-end warmth, and unmistakable soul. Featuring the hypnotic vocals of Legzdina, the track is a late-night guide through deep, emotive house, refined, immersive, and quietly powerful. It’s a statement from an artist who continues to define the label’s sonic identity. Next up, Max Sinàl & KingCrowney - A Bit Mad deliver exactly what the title promises, a loose, live-feeling cut that fuses UK jazz sensibilities with broken beat energy. KingCrowney’s trumpet work dances over Max’s signature production, creating something raw, musical, and undeniably London. Amsterdam’s rising talent steps in with Misto Kay - Bruklynn, a playful yet intricate debut on the label. Jazz-rooted keys meet unexpected rhythmic turns, keeping dancers guessing while maintaining a deep, rolling groove. It’s fresh, musical, and full of personality. Lisbon-based producer Berkeley Hunt - Speed Jazz follows with a dusty, high-tech jazz heater, swung drums, chopped samples, and synth lines that blur the line between experimentation and dancefloor pressure. It’s gritty, it’s clever, and it absolutely slaps. Returning to the fold, Real Love Seeker - Mood Swings taps into that golden-era 90s house feeling, think Mood II Swing energy with a modern edge. Soulful, driving, and built for heads-down moments, it’s a reminder that simplicity, when done right, still reigns supreme. Closing out the release, Streeton - Ride (Feat. Faro) brings broken beat back into focus. Faro’s lush, heartfelt vocals glide over organic grooves and textured instrumentation, creating a track that feels both intimate and expansive, the perfect final lift-off. Behind the release stands Soul Quest’s core ethos pushing soulful, forward-thinking club music without compromise. With a roster that spans emerging innovators and established voices, Maintain Altitude 2 isn’t just a compilation, it’s a snapshot of a movement.』
