During the mid-80s and early 90s Movin’ Records defined the New Jersey sound. A skate-shop-turned-record-store run by the so-called “fairy godmother of house” Abigail Adams, Movin’s first output was ‘I’ve Got The Music’ by Boyd Jarvis in 1987, followed by music from game changers Blaze, Kerri Chandler, Tony Humphries and Smack; straight up “Jersey jams” that producers are still attempting to replicate to this day. Still the Movin’ Records catalogue throws up gems that sound super fresh along with plenty of lightbulb moments of musical discovery.

New Jersey stalwarts C. Johnson, Curtis Edwards & George Lockett Jr., aka Immaje, release the undiscovered classic ‘Celebrate’, very much in keeping with the already well-received previous releases on Movin’. Sounding very much like a Kerri Chandler meets Burrell production, and featuring talented vocalist Keva Holman (who would later be heard singing with KRS One among others). This is the epitome of 90’s house, fresh out of Jersey.
