BOPSTAR (Restless Soul): Stephanie writes more songs than Prince these days so it can get tricky keeping up, and tricky knowing the great from the good. (They're always good). My favourite here by a long mile is Phil R's because the chords play off against the melody really cleverly. Bless!
DALMINJO: Very very nice release. Can't decide on which mix I like most. Main Mix, Spiritual Blessings and the Phil B Mix will do the rounds for me. Quality!
JAZZIE B (Soul II Soul/BBC Radio): Feeling this, It will be on my playlist next week.

CJ MACKINTOSH: Del Piero mix for me on this one...liking it.
THE LAYABOUTS: Sounds cool.. production wise the Tony Loreto mix would be the pick.
DJ RORK (Radio FG France/Stalwart): Great package from GKF ! My favorites mixes, Spiritual Blessings Remix and Steve Paradise Dub Mix. Very nice work, full support, perfect for my people! Play & chart.
TOM PASANEC (Blacksoul): Gregory Del Piero is strongest one here.
MIKE STUKES (Mystic Vybes WHCR 90.3 FM / NYC): Killa!!!
Nice!!!
NICK HOLDER (DNH Records): This joint is fire!!!
TOM BULWER (Ministry Of Sound Radio): Like an old flame this records screams good times! The dreaming synths and skippy drums on the Steve Paradise mix bring back the best memories for me.
DISTANT PEOPLE: Beautiful vocal as always from Stephanie, I’m really into the Spiritual Blessings mix…. top quality mix, what a package I’ll be playing quite a few of these mixes over the coming months !
MASTER KEV: Feeling this for sure Sarah. Gotta go with my partner Tony Loreto's remix but there are a few others i like also
PARRISH WINTERSMITH: Stephanie's in great form on this. Heck, she could sing the abc's and i wld love it.
JOHNNY KAZ (Deep London): Lovin this track. 10/10 soulful house. Wicked package... I'll support them all the mixes! ... but the stand out for me is the Steve Paradise dub.
RAF DJ (Raf’n’Soul Productions/NYT Radio Program): Omg another problem! Another fantastic release with eccellent remixes, where to choose only one version!
My cpmpliment, everyone has beens genials remixers, a lil bit more to Nef Nunez for his (DeepTouch Main mix) I love that riff of keyboard play during performance of the talent singer Stephanie Cooke, is able to create a magic vibe on da dancefoloor! My compliment GKF rec. you grow up day by day!
CHRISTOS KEDRAS: Island Groove for the lounge, Steve Paradise dub for the floor. Loving it!
ARTEM (SoulMate):OMG guys this is super awesome! Loved so many mixes in this package. Suppose it's because of Steph's magical vocals. Loved Spiritual Blessings mix for solidness, loved laid-back Wil Milton's and Mark Di Meo mixes; Island Groove are good in their trademark sound, also loving more optimistic Gregory Del Piero version. Will def support in the radioshow and post a review on my sites.
DJ CHILLY (Dolce-Miami): Always a treat to welcome that undeniably sweet, sweet voice of Ms. Stephanie Cooke. The Gregory Del Piero mix is tres cute and definitely worth a spin. The Spiritual Blessings Best Friends Mix is rock solid from opening bouncy groove to melodious flow of keys and vocals. (The effects are just too tight!) Having fallen hopelessly for the sound of warm pads atop a deep house beat, I dropped the Wil Milton Lickquid Lyfe Vocal Mix the other day. Wil Milton does a superb job here elevating an already beautiful song to soaring heights. 10/10 I was not feeling the Nef Nunez Deep Touch Mix. The Island Groove Remix, The Mark Di Meo Vocal Mix and Tony Loreto Spirit Sound Remix are all good interpretations that work well. The irresistibly fun Phil R Remix is another fave of mine. Finally the Steve Paradise Dub Mix is one I cannot wait to play. All and all a great package!
VINCENT DEEPER (Paris One Deeper Radio): Nice release all the mixes are very good. Full support from me and Paris One Deeper !I like the version of Tony Loreto and Gregory Del Piero.
BRUNO FANACK: Fantastic angel voice Stephanie! Full support Gregory Del Piero mix, groovy and soulful track. Love the deep sound of Steve Paradise too. However, all mixes are well and have something special. Nice pack.
