New-York-based Sub-Urban Records, founded by the mighty Tommy Musto and Silvio Tancredi in 1992, was one of the most consistent American garage and vocal house labels of its time. Musto was the driving force behind the label for his exceptional production and remixing work. The label’s first releases by Musto along with Victor Simonelli and Matthias Heilbronn were to set the tone for its outstanding quality with its distinctive solid beat, tight keyboards and soulful, often gospel-tinged vocals. Over the years, Sub-Urban Records has showcased much-loved releases from the likes of Jazz-N-Groove, Deep Zone, Kerri Chandler, Mousse T, Sandy Rivera and many more.

‘Ya Can’t Separate Me (I’m Determined)’, a Tommy Musto production, features nine remixes originally delivered as a vinyl double pack. It kicks off with the energetic ‘Club Mix’ followed by a percussive ‘Boriqua Jungle Mix’ with the ‘T.S.O.P. Mix’ boasting bellowing soulful vocals. Matthias Heilbronn appears on the release with ‘Mind & Soul Mix’, a toned-down grooving production along with ‘Dub In Paradise’. Splice Of Life, formed by Richard Yori and Alan Russell, present their kicking ‘Classic Mix’ and ‘Monster Tribal Dub’. The ‘Tribal Beats’ and ‘Accapella’ mixes round off this undeniably soulful package.
