Excusive Premiere: 2fox Ft Liam Bailey & BB James “So Long (Oliver Night Remix)”

It’s always a treat when 2fox comes through with fresh material, and this time, the dynamic duo presents the remix package for their standout single “So Long” on Soul Quest Records. Known for their infectious grooves and deep, soulful melodies, 2fox—comprising Soul Quest label head Max Sinàl and Ivor Novello-winning composer Renell Shaw—bring a unique vibrancy to house music, blending heart, rhythm, and melody in a way that’s impossible to ignore.

The original “So Long” is a testament to the duo’s mastery of their craft, driven by a skipping rhythm section that creates a bedrock for sharp melodic sequences and a bassline that sings with sweetness. Add to that the exceptional vocal performances from Liam Bailey and BB James, and you have a track that resonates deeply, layering soulful narratives over grooves that can keep any dancefloor alive. It’s music for the night, but also for the everyday—rich in emotion and deeply engaging.

And now, as 2fox fans have come to expect, a stellar lineup of remixes takes this already potent track to new heights. One of the most striking reinterpretations comes from Oliver Night, who steps in with a fresh broken beat twist that’s as dynamic as it is soulful. Night’s remix is a masterclass in space and rhythm, giving the track room to breathe while injecting enough energy to get both feet and minds moving.

Oliver Night’s take on “So Long” maintains the heart of the original but adds a layer of groove that takes it straight to the underground. It’s the perfect blend of deep basslines and stuttering rhythms, with Night’s deft touch ensuring that the track flows effortlessly while keeping its soulful core intact. There’s a hypnotic quality to his production, making it one of those tracks that could easily carry a dancefloor late into the night.

The remix package also features other standouts from Manoo, Coflo, and David Bailey, each bringing their own flair. Manoo stretches the groove wide with a deep rhythm section that lets the melodies soar, while Coflo’s ‘Stripped Back’ mix takes things down to the essentials—piano, bass, and vocals—turning the vibe sentimental yet full of energy. Finally, David Bailey closes things out with an up-tempo house-driven cut that warms up the record in a truly satisfying way.

Whether you’re chilling at home or lost in the haze of a club night, Oliver Night’s remix of “So Long” is the kind of track that moves both the body and the soul. Hypnotic, absorbing, and full of life, it’s an essential listen for anyone with a love for broken beat and soulful house.
