Rampa & Hollis P Monroe - Look Out feat. Overnite

I couldn't possibly mention Hollis P Monroe without posting my absolutely favorite production by the Philadelphia born, Montreal-based (wut wut!) artist.
Remember that quote Sebastian Ingrosso made, comparing what SHM does to the Beatles? How the Beatles would make something melancholic to sad and happy at the same time? This track does exactly that for me. The vocals are by Terence Trent D'Arby. It came out in 1997 (when I was in high school!) and was recently given remix treatment by Laura Jones, Subb-an, Larse and Sis. But truly, nothing compares to the original:

Rampa is part of the collective that runs Berlin based Keinemusik, and has collaborated with Monroe to give "Look Out" which appears courtesy of his home label. Featuring the vocals of Overnite, the track is another melancholic/uplifting track, and a track like this is always refreshing to listen to.



Update 30/08/12: Hollis P Monroe himself (so honoured!) gave me a heads up that a video has been made for the track, check it out here!
