About a year or so ago, my friend Kevin Starke of KStarke Records shop told me about K.Joy, this underground singer from House Music's early years. Quite a few of her tracks were made famous as "Ron Hardy originals" - original, unreleased tracks that Chicago's then-unknown producers were giving to Ron Hardy at the Music Box on reel-to-reel or even cassette tape. Some were re-recorded by other vocalists for commercial release, but her name - at least among the old school - was pretty well-known.

By now, K.Joy's been back on the scene for awhile and released a number of tracks for Cyberjamz Radio's Cyberjamz imprint (and a blast from the past was released in the package of remixes for her track "Like This" released on Cyberjamz a year ago, which features Chip E's original 1985 mix).

This is her new track, "Lover's Dance". This is a bit of a poetic release as she teams up with the In Blueblackness production team (aka Darren Brandon/DJ Quad, Joe Glover and Pierre Raymond), who are themselves responsible for some killer tracks and remixes over the years.

"Lover's Dance" is in promo release now; you can listen to an additional mix here on traxsource today.
