New York legends Ralph Session and Mr. V team up again for a long-awaited follow-up to their 2023 smash hit ‘Bounce To This’ with ‘Rock The Spot’ on tastemaking Brooklyn label toucan sounds. The superb ‘Rock The Spot’ boasts a steamy house groove with shimmering synths adding warmth and soul to funky basslines. Sensuous spoken words add another dimension to this timeless and infectious sound, brimming character. The Brooklyn Classic Mix reworks it as a more direct and heavy feel perfect for the backrooms, and instrumental versions of both mixes pair things back to its brilliant grooves.

Baltimore’s Karizma remixes ‘Rock The Spot’, working in warm bass throbs and percussive drums that jack the floor as its well-treated vocal adds a seductive twist next to subtle chords that infuse plenty of soul.

The now Barcelona-based Ralph Session has releases on labels like Quintessentials, Freerange, Local Talk and Razor N Tape. His sound is authentic, blending Chicago and New York styles and often wins support from Jimpster, Cinthie, Oliver Dollar, Jamie Jones, Riva Starr, Laurent Garnier, and many more.

For ‘Rock The Spot,’ he is joined by Sole Channel Music label boss Mr. V, who’s been a leading proponent of House music in his own right, working for Louie Vega’s Masters At Work imprint and later releasing on labels like Defected and Strictly Rhythm.

You can now listen to the full premiere of ‘Rock The Spot (Brooklyn Classic Mix)’ exclusively on When We Dip. Enjoy!
