One of the last releases of 2009, on December 29th 2009 Shifted Music dropped the 2nd part of Jay-J feat. Charlene Moore‘s “Love Alive” (from Jay-J’s album of the same name) remixes. Besides Christian Alvarez and Genelec mixes, this EP is noticeable for the rework from Denmark’s Soulmagic: their Classic Mix utilizes piano, guitar and live bass being all classic elements, though sounds a bit like recent remix for Shane D’s “Silence“.

With Kerry Wood on the vocals, the Main Mix is kinda chunky, but Soulmagic Mix is stock and soulfully good, as well as D’s Broken Soul Dub.
