Artists: Brian Alexander Morgan, Martha Wash
Label: unquantize
BPM: 122 | Key: A#min
“Give It 2 Ya (DJ Spen & Reelsoul Remix)” brings together heavyweight vocal and songwriting talent with a label deeply rooted in soulful dance culture. Brian Alexander Morgan is best known in R&B and dance circles as the writer and producer behind SWV’s early‑90s hits like “Weak” and “Right Here,” but his work has long intersected with club music through remixes and a melodic, song‑driven approach that fits naturally into house. Martha Wash, often hailed as one of dance music’s defining voices, came to prominence as one half of The Weather Girls with “It’s Raining Men,” and her unmistakable powerhouse vocals went on to front genre‑shaping hits for Black Box and C+C Music Factory, helping define the sound of late‑80s and early‑90s club culture. Their pairing sits perfectly on DJ Spen’s unquantize imprint, a label respected in soulful and gospel‑inspired house for spotlighting rich songwriting, live‑sounding instrumentation, and vocal‑led tracks aimed squarely at dancers and DJs who favor musical depth over trend‑chasing. With Spen & Reelsoul on the remix, “Give It 2 Ya” slots into that lineage: warm, groove‑driven, and rooted in the classic tradition of vocal house while still feeling fresh on modern floors.

His work often leans on organic percussion, emotive chord progressions, and vocal or atmospheric elements that nod to classic soulful house while feeling contemporary and club-ready. Merecumbe Recordings, the label behind the release, reflects that vision: it’s a home for rhythm-driven, Afro-Latin-tinged house with an emphasis on deep grooves and musical depth rather than trend-chasing. Through a consistent flow of EPs, remixes, and collaborations with like-minded vocalists, musicians, and producers in the global house community, Gomez and Merecumbe have carved out a respected niche among DJs who favor soulful, Afro, and deep house sounds. “Mother Nature (The Red Room Mix)” fits that profile perfectly: a rich, percussive, and immersive track that highlights why both Doug Gomez and Merecumbe Recordings are quietly influential forces in today’s soulful house landscape.
