A rubbery 12" fixture of ’90s UK house, House Nation Under A Groove sees DA Rebels (Curtis Alan Jones and Liddell Townsell) fuse Chicago acid influence with UK deep-house sensibilities. 

The Future Monument Mix launches the record with sinuous, stretched-out grooves—its filtered synths and rolling rhythm snapping into focused cosmic drive. The Original Mix dials back theatrics for a stripped-house pulse that feels intimate yet propulsive. 

On the flip, the Instrumental Dub peels away vocal refrains in favour of dub-inspired depth, imagining the dancefloor as both physical and psychological space. Consistent restraint and detail make this more than a remix record—it’s a concise statement in House Nation minimalism.
