Louie's choice track [to remix], however, was 'Salsa House', a Nu Groove release that combined a sample from Celia Cruz's 'Kimbarra' with a fragment from 'I Need You' by Sylvester. "It had this nice Latin house groove," says Vega, "and all of a sudden it went into these great R&B disco changes. I really liked the song, but I also wanted this one part to run longer." The prospect of doing a remix became a real possibility thanks to Terry. "I told Todd that I liked the track and he said, 'Hey, I know the guy who made it. I'll introduce you to him.'"

N is for Nu Groove
From the alphabet of Dub by David Toop
N is for Nu Groove
In the late 80s, the Burrell twins (Ronnie and Rhefji!) formed a label for their deeper, darker, dubbier view of New York Garage. While most New York DJs were mixing dull instrumental versions of House tracks and calling them dubs, Nu Groove was pioneering some radical reconstructions. Listen to the Ronnie Burrell/Tommy Musto dub of Bas Noir's "I'm Glad You Came To Me" or the Bobby Konders/Peter Daou contributions to the label ("The Poem" 12" and the Vandal EPs, especially). Nu Groove is now defunct and highly collectable. [Searchin' by 33/3 and Queen sampled a West End track.]
