John Acquaviva - The Definitive Selection Vol. 1 - EP

Definitive Recordings continues its run of essential reissues and reworks with a new John Acquaviva Edits EP, set for release on May 9th, 2025. Showcasing two freshly edited versions of definitive house classics, this EP brings a modern touch to two deep cuts from the label’s influential catalog.

Acquaviva revisits Omega Man’s ‘Freejack’, carefully updating its arrangement to sharpen its rolling house groove while maintaining the hypnotic drive of the original. Meanwhile, Las Americas’ ‘Look, Listen, Love’ (Robotman Mix) receives a refined structural update, bringing new energy to its funky basslines and signature vocal loops without losing its classic feel.

Both edits are part of Acquaviva’s upcoming compilation The Definitive Selection Vol. 1, but this standalone EP gives them their own moment ahead of the full release on May 23rd. These reworks not only celebrate Definitive’s legacy but also reaffirm its lasting influence on house music.

The John Acquaviva Edits EP lands on May 9th, following the ‘Fee Fi Fo Hum’ single on April 25th, leading up to the full Definitive Selection Vol. 1 release on May 23rd.

Definitive Recordings was founded by John Acquaviva, Richard Hawtin, and Karl Kowalski in 1992 as an embodiment of their vision for house music. "Not too hard, not too soft" was the mantra and it built up a fine body of talented artists who made a real impact on the global underground and helped to foment a unique identity for Definitive Recordings. After acquiring the catalogue of legendary Canadian house label, Get Physical Music is proud to present a new various artists series that focuses on some of its most classic cuts. John Acquaviva will continue to A&R for the label and work closely alongside the Get Physical team in this new era.
