Mark Knight / Green Velvet / James Hurr - The Greatest Thing Alive / Lady (Hear Me Tonight) [Toolroom]

Chicago legend Green Velvet returns to Toolroom joining forces with label boss Mark Knight and studio cohort James Hurr to deliver ‘The Greatest Thing Alive’. A heavy-hitting, grooving track that screams Miami Space Terrace at 8am. Quirky, full of character, and with Green Velvet’s unmistakable vocal reinterpretation of Muddy Waters’ classic Mannish Boy, this one hits a truly special spot.

Green Velvet debuted on Toolroom back in 2015 alongside Technasia with ‘Suga’, a track that hit #1 overall on Beatport and remained their best-selling track for years, racking up over 9 million streams.

On the flip side, label boss Mark Knight returns alongside studio partner and DJ favourite James Hurr, to reinterpret one of house music’s biggest anthems: ‘Lady (Hear Me Tonight)’. Cutting straight to the chase, Mark & James bring the unmistakable vocal and iconic guitar riff to the forefront, fusing it with a heavy club bedrock, in true Mark Knight fashion.

Having collaborated on Make You Happy alongside Todd Terry, and You Are A God with vocalist Cari Golden, Mark Knight & James Hurr are cementing themselves as an unstoppable force in the studio and on the circuit. Their reinterpretation of Modjo’s legendary house classic Lady (Hear Me Tonight), a track that broke barriers in electronic music in the early 2000s, is another guaranteed dance floor hit.
