GREEN VELVET makes his Circus Recordings debut with Bigger than Prince, his most talked about track in years...
Bigger Than Prince was born out of a conversation between label boss Yousef and Green Velvet when both played the Indonesian leg of the annual Circus Tour. The idea of the Chicago legend contributing a brand new track for the Circus X // part 1 compilation was floated and soon he was joining nine other friends of Circus who were all to feature in celebration of ten years of events.
‘Bigger than Prince' is a classic Green Velvet vocal number and sharper and fresher than anything we've heard this summer. Quirky and driving, its set to be one of the tracks of the season.
To back the Original, Yousef has drafted in more friends of Circus on remix duties, HOT SINCE 82 and THE MARTINEZ BROTHERS...
