Description
Vince Watson's signature track, imbued with the lyricism of Detroit, is reimagined by Cee ElAssaad, Atjazz, and Osunlade, each bringing their own unique style!
Hailing from Glasgow, Vince Watson has long been active in both house and techno. Three highly accomplished artists have remixed one of his signature tracks, "Eminesence". Released in 2015 on Osunlade's Yoruba Records, "Eminesence" is a particularly important work for Watson himself, created after returning to house music production following a long hiatus.
The Cee ElAssaad Remix on Side A is a spiritual deep house track built around piano and chords, with free-flowing solos unfolding throughout. Watson himself has described it as a musical journey reminiscent of Joe Claussell's remixes, and its beautiful keyboard progression and organic groove are particularly striking.
The Atjazz Galaxy Aart Remix on B1 is a club-ready version that highlights a thick, funky bassline and dub treatment. It transforms the lounge-like atmosphere of the original into a track better suited for the dance floor. The Osunlade Yoruba Soul Remix on B2 has a mellow finish, adding jazz elements and organic textures. The percussion and keyboard sounds intertwine gently, giving it a particularly jazzy and laid-back appeal among the three versions.
As Watson himself carefully selected the remixers, this is more than just a remix collection; it draws three distinct directions—spiritual house, dub, and jazz house—from a single track. A 12-inch release that offers a wide range of enjoyment, from deep house to spiritual house.

After the stunning re-release of Eminesence in March, Vince Watson recruits 3 of Deep House’s legendary artists to give their interpretations on this modern classic. First up is Cee ElAssaad with a spiritual journey into the finest house music around, endless solo’s and the type of track you will hear in Claussell, Trent of Vega’s sets. After this. the magician Atjazz with his typical chunky bass and dubby vibes, the perfect dub version of this piano track. Last but not least the delightful skills of Osunlade with the Yoruba Soul Mix, a tasty jazzier affair that’s perfect for the more downtempo laid back moments…and that ending…whoosh!
