South Street Player – (Who?) Keeps Changing Your Mind (Strictly Rhythm, 1993)

One of the most beloved vocal house records Strictly Rhythm ever put out. South Street Player was a project by producer George Morel and vocalist Roland Clark, built around the idea of soulful house with meaningful lyrics — and “(Who?)” is exactly that: a heartbreak lyric delivered with real feeling over grooves that build and build. Dancefloors in ’93 responded with everything at once — happiness, sadness, tears, smiles — and thirty-plus years, countless remixes and a string of reissues later, it still does. This is the original US pressing, two mixes, no filler. Tracklist A – (Who?) Keeps Changing Your Mind (The Club Mix) – 8:20 B – (Who?) Keeps Changing Your Mind (The Night Mix) – 7:42 A – The Club Mix The brighter, more disco-leaning side of the record. Morel keeps things moving with a bumping groove and warmer instrumentation, letting Roland Clark’s vocal ride on top with a touch more swagger. It’s the peak-time reading — direct, joyful and built to keep a floor locked in. Notably, this mix stayed exclusive to the vinyl for years, skipped on the later CD singles, which makes the original 12” the one to own. B – The Night Mix The one. A simple bassline and patient percussion, layered in slow-burning builds until that vocal finally drops — and when it does, goosebumps every time. Deeper, moodier and more soulful than the A-side, this is the version that became the classic: later radio edits were based on it, Tony Humphries championed it, and it’s still the mix DJs reach for when they want that late-night emotional peak. Progressive in feel years before the term existed. Essential for: lovers of soulful house, garage house and golden-era Strictly Rhythm. A George Morel/Roland Clark masterclass — the Club Mix for the party, the Night Mix for the soul. The record was quickly picked up for remixes by Fresh Fruit’s René ter Horst and Gaston Steenkist (later Chocolate Puma), but the original US 12” remains the definitive artefact.
