John Acquaviva's re-invigorated Definitive Recordings imprint has decided to breathe new life into one of Kevin Saunderson's biggest Inner City dancefloor hits, piano-powered, life-affirming 1992 smash 'Pennies From Heaven'. The man behind the revision is long-serving German artist Roland Leesker, a producer and music industry veteran best-known for his long association with Get Physical Music. Leesker has wisely leaned into what made Saunderson's original so special, wrapping the Detroit don's bouncy piano stabs, synth-strings and Ann Saunderson's rush-inducing lead vocals around a chunky, thickset, locked-in house groove. It's a tasteful and peak-time-ready revision all told, with a handy acapella DJ tool completing a strong package.
