(24/42) US house music legend Teddy Douglas is welcomed back onto Nervous Records for a rare full-length album on the label. I'm Here is Douglas' first full-length solo album following his esteemed stints with Basemen Boys and Jasper St. Co., and it's so far been hailed as one of his all-time career-defining greats, bursting will both originality and intertextuality, yet not straying too far from his characteristic Baltimore house sound either. Across the album he's pulled together an array of heavyweight international vocal talent, including UK vocal diva Pauline Taylor; Danish award winning folk and blues artist Richard Farrell; Chi Town hip house legend, Fast Eddie; dance music vocal queen Ultra Nate; up-and-coming Brit soul talent Sipho; and Buckshot from Blackmoon appearing under the name BDI Thug; and through this expansive penchant for teamwork he's conjured up a whimsical record, yet one still respectful of East Coast dance musical tradition, as ever riffing on the afterglows of a golden era yet still finding incredibly compelling fusions between the kicks.
