Jhelisa vs. Photek

At least once a year I re-read Last night a DJ saved my life, Frank Broughton and Bill Webster's excellent history of DJ'ing and dance music. At the end of the book they listed some all-time classics in the most remarkable clubs around the world. In Coldcut's list you'll find Jhelisa's Friendly Pressure acapella "mixed over pretty much anything". On their own quintessential Journeys by DJ's-cd (re-released a couple years ago by popular demand) you'll find an excellent example of what they meant. The MLO-remix of DJ Food's Dark Blood is topped with Jhelisa's amazing voice to devastating effect.
When I was browsing through my collection a couple days ago I accidentally picked out Photek's all-time classic Into the 90's on his Natural Born Killa EP (on Metalheadz, recently repressed!) together with Jhelisa's Friendly Pressure. A couple of minutes later, the mix-up was finished.
