Hard Times continues it's legacy of championing house music's finest with another landmark release that brings things full circle. This time, the label welcomes none other than Leeds legend Paul Woolford - one of the most prolific and versatile electronic artists of today - to reimagine one of house music's most cherished anthems, Karen Pollard's 'Reach Out To Me.'Originally released in 1996, 'Reach Out To Me' quickly became a club classic and an archetypal vocal house anthem. Now, Woolford - known for his ability to straddle both underground credibility and mainstream success with ease - boldly takes on the challenge of remixing the iconic track, delivering not one but two impressive reworks that showcase both sides of his production persona.'Reach Out To Me' has always been one of my favorite US garage records, so when the opportunity to rework it came up one hazy summer evening last year, I knew it had to be done,' says Woolford. 'Both mixes have been road-tested and have caused havoc in all sorts of situations, from warehouse raves to basement afters to peak-time sessions and beyond.'The first remix sees Woolford take the track deep and epic, building to a soaring, anthemic breakdown that pays homage to the song's timeless energy. Meanwhile, his breakbeat-driven Special Request version adds a UKG twist, built for peak-time destruction in the hands of all selectors.A true labor of love, these remixes breathe new life into the beloved classic while staying true to it's soulful roots. Hard Times fans, house heads, and bass-driven ravers alike can now experience Woolford's masterful reimagining of 'Reach Out To Me.'Tracklisting:A. Reach Out To Me (Paul Woolford Remix) B.
