Kings of Tomorrow feat. Rae

Never one to stay quiet for long, Sandy Rivera is a producer who bides his time and returns just at the right moment. House music with soul and with passion is enjoying a bit of a comeback of late as a reaction to the big room ‘house’ sounds now flying high in the pop charts. Who better to lead the resurgence than the King of Tomorrow, Sandy Rivera. With this Third Edition of House Masters the new additions to the collection highlight Sandy’s return to form. The brand new Kings of Tomorrow anthems ‘Fall For You’, ‘It’s Only You’, ‘I Need To Love Me’ ‘Take Me Back’ featuring April, the Ibiza smash ‘Hide U’ featuring Rae on vocals and the club hits ‘Whatever’, ‘Sometimes’ and ‘Freak’. Whether recording under his real name, or his arguably more recognisable Kings of Tomorrow moniker, Sandy Rivera is a legend both in the studio and behind the decks. Without question his most triumphant moment is the seminal anthem ‘Finally’, which has been cited by many of his peers as the greatest House record of all time, but his career is by no means limited to this creative pinnacle. He has a gift for pairing slick production with evocative vocals; the results of which are at times nothing short of stunning.  Under his Kings of Tomorrow, Soul Vision and of course his own name this is the definitive Sandy collection; a definitive look at one of the in-demand names in house music today.
