Built around Tiger Wilson‘s expressive vocal delivery and instrumental background, ‘Cravin” captures a deeply emotive blend of soulful house and contemporary club energy. The release reflects a meeting of two generations of house music craftsmanship, combining the Grammy Award-winning DJ’s signature production style with Tiger Wilson‘s live instrumentation and songwriting sensibility.
For context, Tiger Wilson is a New Jersey-based singer, songwriter and multi-instrumentalist whose work spans soulful house, R&B and gospel-influenced music. He has a long-standing connection to the New York house scene through collaborations with artists including the New York house pioneer himself and Timmy Regisford, as well as appearances on records such as ‘In The Club’, ‘Masterpiece’ and ‘Burning Hot’, which became staples at The Shelter in New York.
The new release is presented across multiple mixes, expanding the single’s footprint across both club and listening contexts. The package runs as the ‘Loop Mix’, the ‘Reprise Version’, the ‘Loop Dub Mix’ and the ‘Vocal Dub Mix’, offering different interpretations designed for both club play and more stripped-back listening experiences.
The Grammy Award-winning DJ remains one of the most influential figures in house music history. As a producer, DJ and remixer, the New York house pioneer has spent more than three decades shaping the sound of the genre, from the early Def Mix days through to his current run on DIRIDIM. ‘Cravin” sits in that lineage as another fluent meeting between the New York house tradition and the soulful, vocal-led club music that the legendary producer has spent his career championing.
Sonically, the track leans hard into the soul side of house. Tiger Wilson‘s vocal sits at the centre of the arrangement, with the production framing the lead with warm chords, gentle but rolling drums and the kind of swing that has always been the New York house pioneer’s calling card.
With its blend of soulful vocals, classic house rhythm and deep musical roots, ‘Cravin” stands as a collaboration between two artists connected to the legacy and evolution of house music. The release lands on DIRIDIM on 26th June, available across all streaming and download platforms. Pre-save here.
