Damn does this have summer anthem written all over it! Legendary DJ Justin Strauss got his start DJing at the Mudd Club in 1980 and has held down residencies at pretty much every notable New York club since then. He's also had a hand in remixing the good to the great. A/Jus/Ted sees him team up with Brooklyn based producer Teddy Stuart and the result is nothing short of a deep house anthem. Steeped in old school vibes, "A Brighter Light" really starts to shine when Jeremy Glenn's vocals drop. It's a timeless sound that sounds nearly effortless in these two producers' hands. For a meatier version turn to the Lars Vegas mix where the kicks get more punch and bass stabs shake the house. The Re A/Jus/Ted Mix does away with most of the vocal to travel down a dark and dubby path. Recommended.
