Degrees of Motion

The story

Hugely successful early 90's NY house music project, conceived, created and produced by Richie Jones. The first single, "Do You Want It Right Now" entered the Mixmag Buzz Chart at #1 as a US import and went on to hit the Top 30 in the UK National Charts after being signed to FFRR by Pete Tong. The second single, "Shine On" received an immediate an massive club response, and went Top 10 in the UK National Charts. Both tracks are considered classic club anthems to this day, and still receive a considerable amount of play worldwide via various updated remixes. The featured vocalist was Biti Strauchn.
