IDM News: TraxsourceINDAMIX (HOUSE, GARAGE & OTHER ILLICIT GROOVES...) Issue # 10
| |
Time’s flying as ever with, as announced on our previous Issue, a new delivery of not to be missed goodies aptly designed to heat our hearts, bodies & souls during the Summer, be they vocal, abstract, banging and eventually chilling. Welcome to this already 10th installment of our fortnightly rendez-vous…
One word if you allow me before goin’ any further as to remain true to my reputation of being someone who’s never minced words…Quite ironical to see to see how the dematerialization of media has to some extend made the things harder for us – the reputedly observers – to be provided with the infos… the music in order to simply do our job at the most acurate time. And although I may understand the fear of some people to have their sales potential ruined because of eventual illegal sharing, I guess I’ll never stand the attitude of a handful of those who, being addressed messages, never give a single answer. Quite a curious conception of PRing I would be tempted to say, if not civility within a scene which has been suffering from a lack of visibility for an eternity despite the existence of real talents deserving far more than what’s offered to them nowadays. Anyway, understand this whoever will… Time to focus on (far) more positive sides and God (hopefully) knows how there are many…
Summer has never seemed so close and it’s definitively perceptible musically speakin’ with countless cool, friendly, inspiring, atmospheric vibes comin’ out at the moment. As if there was A need for both intimacy and more elaborated productions as opposed to the reputedly festive gang banging stuff destined to fill the biggest floors of the world, beginning with Beefa (Ooops, sorry… Ibiza)!
 Definitely far from the aforementioned is Gabriele Poso’s new offering on Yoruba. A 4 tracker consisting in as many remixes of his From The Genuine World album released 3 months ago with our favorite being the smooth & sensous ‘Afrika’ as subtly redesigned by Ezel over a bossa-influenced groove enlightened by aerial synth parts. Rhythm is definitely not (only) a matter of beats. There’s something of both the Naked Music label and Sade on the subtle arrangements delivered by Vincent Valler on his Main Mix of Funktrain featuring Nica Brooke’s aptly titled ‘Sweetly’ sounding like a magnificient blend of atmospheric soul with a slice of pop feel such as championed by Everything But The Girl back in the day (Reelgroove). No matter what or how… The Brits have never reached higher… peaks than when being left with the opportunity to fully express who they are, as brilliantly demonstrated during the acid jazz/rare groove/Brit-soul era from the end of the eighties til the middle of the nineties with Kenny Thomas adding his name to the list back then… And the story to repeat itself nowadays with ‘Sunshine Girl’, an absolute fresh song as reworked by UK DJ/remixer Phil Hooton designing a subtly arranged jazzy environment for much on the ‘friendliness’ of this seducing cool swing (Soul-Fi). Embedding that soul freshness on their repertoire since day 1 Stateside are without a single doubt Tortured Soul with ‘Your Dream Is My Dream’ taken from their third album to be released after the festive period being NO exception… Distant Music man Jon Cutler adding what it takes to make this a not to be missed affair and definitive alltime classic (Coco Soul). UK band Reel People alongside front man Darien givin’ the aforementioned their clue with the old school sounding ‘Upside’ as retouched by Karizma, somehow reminding of Jamiroquai’s works (Papa Records). Meanwhile Ian Friday goes the opposite way givin’ a subtle NYC flavoured tessiture to the vibrant ‘Broken Dreams’ by the likes of UK collective Ceramic featuring Aisling Stephenson (NYC Soul). Jellybean Soul adding two new episodes to their impressive series of must haves with the brilliant ‘The Lover That You Are’ as remixed by George Mena & Marlon D for Pulse with Antoinette Robertson’s vocal performance somehow reminding of Chaka Khan and Darryl D’Bonneau’s ‘Miracles’ as bumpingly revamped by Jon Cutler…
I guess this may sound far from realistic, but can’t help myself wishin’ good music to be played in big rooms as opposed to the usual flow of seeminglike crap displayed here and there year after year for so long!!! The boiling hot ‘Lover Forevermore Amen’ by Bobby D’Ambrosio alongside female singer Kelli Sae sounding like quite an appropriate choice for the occasion. It’s inspiring, it’s groovy, it’s enlightening, and (of course) it’s definitely entertaining with our preference going to both the sultry Osio Club Mix and the epic B&E’s Save Our Soul Dub (Soulfuric). Meanwhile Dutch pair Roog & Greg aka Hardsoul give a trancey feel to ‘Nothing Better Than Your Lovin’ by the likes of T.J. Cases featuring Natalie Broomes currently causin’ some serious devastation in the clubs (Hardsoul Pressings) with the tribalish ‘Empire Of Africa’ by DJ Romain which we’ve welcomed as our Single Of The Week during the Miami Conf’ deserving a careful listen (Nu Faze)…
Not many are those inclined to vary the pleasures and as a result display a real versatility. Thanks if I may say so to the formats diktat, and props due to Chicago wizard Abicah Soul (Project) for not missing an occasion to show the various sides as to who he is from a release to another with the infamous Part 2 Peak Mix of his eponym cut takin’ us to some deep jazzy tech-influenced frenzy (Abicah Soul Records). We made room for Joe Flame’s ‘Love Is Blind’ on the last issue of TSIDM as a part of his substancial recent efforts. Here we go again this time with the deep and abstract ‘Night Lights’ displaying that plaintive emphasis which would be for much on Larry Heard’s reputation along the years (D#Sharp).
It’s jazzy, it’s groovy, it’s chillin’ it’s soulful and (of course) it’s definitely vibin’. Well it’s pretty much what made the signature of another Chicago hi-lite playin’ keys like no other. His name? GU equally known as Glenn Underground with the exquisite ‘Adore You’ featuring female singer Roxy delivered in two absolute not to be missed versions (Strictly Jaz Unit). Hard not to establish some parental link with the aforementioned while listening to hyperactive Scott Wozniak’s gorgeous ‘Love & Life’, here as well on a deep’n’jazzy sort of plaintive tip over a circular bassline (Refresh). And this series of abstract deep vibes to go further way with NYC-based producer Cassady Locke droppin’ the organ-led ‘1968’ over an Afro-beat influenced rhythm (Esho).
It’s deep, it’s abstract, it’s atmospheric, it’s hypnotizing and (no doubt) it’s definitely devastating with chances to put the Ibiza dancefloors on fire. It’s title? ‘Dancing Strings’ with reminiscences of Sueño Latino’s eponym classic and Soul Central’s… ‘Strings Of Life’ to be credited to vet producer Wayne Gardiner (CIMA). Kerri Chandler sort of going back to da roots with the old school deep acidic vocoderized ‘Fortran’ standing as the absolute piece of choice out of his recent Computer Games LP on French Deeply House Rooted label. Putting an end to our rendez-vous with another subtle blend courtesy of Terry Hunter givin’ a Giorgio Moroder-ish deeplectrodisco tip tinged with jazzy and funky vibes on his fascinating remix of Leonard Part Sixx’s ‘Strobelight Revival’ (T’s Box).
That’s it from us now. Back to you in a fortnight… With usual thanks to spiritofhouse.com and udmshow.com for givin’ extra exposure to this column… Peace y’all. MFSB

Hey, how r’ U doin’, sorry can’t get thru, why don’t you leave your name… Guess you know the rest as we do or should I say we did no later than a week ago with the crash or a hard disk which has got us out of our editorial planning, meaning by that that you’ll be offered 2 issues of our column from this week til the next one with tons of goodies to feed your apetites. So better get your credit cards ready and I’m not even talkin’ about commissioning us for the prescriptional service!!!
A bit more than a month and the festive locations will be taken by storm by cohorts of tourists from all over the places on the North hemisphere of the globe with no bigger wish than escape from reality and legitimately have good time. Hopefully, we look set to be provided with the good vibes that come with. Thanks to our champions…
Quite a while without hearin’ from Glenn Lewis. Our man signs a winning return alongside producer Terry Hunter with the friendly ‘Stay With Me’ enligthened by a Stevie Wonder-influenced interpretation alongside a killing rhythmic guitar part and lush key arrangements over a rumblin’ bassline (T’s Box). Not that much interesting on offer I’m afraid on the remix package of Peyton & The Rhythm Republic’s ‘Never Give Up’ unless being geared towards harder vibes as delivered on the Drive Remix. But at least the opportunity to get back to the explosive Club Mix which was included on the original release for those who’ve missed it a couple of months ago (Peppermint Jam). Always had a particular feel for California-based DJ/producer Stephen Rigmaiden’s approaches. Once gain, he delivers a syncopated intoxicating rhythm, teamin’ up with 5 star vocalist Darryl D’ Bonneau on ‘Sent From Above’. Meanwhile hyperactive Scott Wozniak on the remix duties gives it a typical NYC flavor (Devotion)…
An obvious search for intimacy seems the least to be said about Chez Music label’s return to the release front with the deep & smooth organ-led ‘Triumph’ by the likes of Rob Salmon. Scott… Wozniak adding a drop of depth to the whole with his killing synth lines on his alternative versions. And the same comment to apply to the smooth and sort of plaintive ‘Love Is Blind’ taken from the countless current deliveries to be credited to Joe Flame (D#Sharp). Good music is… yup: timeless! Another proof bein’ given with the rerelease of Abicah Soul Project featuring G.U.’s ‘City Of Jericho’ where is to expect nothing but the very best from the reunion of those two absolute geniuses on this not to be missed jazzy & moody cool groove which should appeal to those into chillin’ atmospheric vibes such as – guess you start knowing who I mean – Jose Padilla, Phil ‘Cantoma’ Mison and Chris ‘Coco’ Mellor (Abicah Soul Records). On a slightly more repetitive/minimalistic mood, Brighton-based producer Bittersuite delivers the bumpin’ ‘Visions’ on a very fascinating way (DeepSystems). Meanwhile, completing the series, comes the abyssal ‘Soulsa’ on a sensuous Latin/jazzy-influenced vein courtesy of Marcelo Cruz enlightened by a seducive sax solo responding to a vibrant key part (Deepnsound).
Brindisi’s famous Beppe Gioia back to his native country after a couple of months by the sunny shores of Miami goin’ deep, abstract and percussive on the moody sort of World-influenced ‘Ivory’ delivered in 4 # versions on Florida-based label Sofitone Records. More surprising is his Lounge Mix of ‘Untitled Fantasy’ under the Soul Oasis presents Beppe Gioia banner on Cyberjamz where he may be heard flirting with bossa, meting deep & jazzy vibes over a lascive groove. Sure to find some bumpin’ stuff when being offered to listen to a new package by the likes of Melchyor A with ‘The Next Big Thing’ being no exception and more precisely the Afro-jazzy flavaed Original Mix over old school friendly spoken words (Soulful Sessions).
Boston, Ma definitely lookin’ set to make itself a place on the map, this time with Universal Tongues alongside male singer Laurel White reachin’ the absolute heights on the infectious soul & jazzy ‘Open Up Your Mind’ and, no surprisingly, the # 1 position on our top 10 this week (Utopia Boston). At the pursuit of the 13th note??? DJ/producer Roland Clark providing exactly what it takes on the hypnotizing ‘Intoxicated’ with awesome keys takin’ the sensuous spoken words performance courtesy of Soul Tempress to anotha level on his Intoxisoul Mix (Delete Records).
 2008 should not doubt be a year to remember for Germany-based jock/producer Ralf GUM not only awaited to get married during the Summer, but also because of the current release of his debut LP (Uniting Music) on his own GoGo Music imprint. A subtly crafted collection of fine grooves flirting with broken beat, Afro, Latin and jazz influences (not to mention house) alongside a whole bunch of talented vocalists, with Nicolas Vautier’s usual partner in crime Rachel Claudio taking the centerstage on ‘If No Harm’ adding much to the emphasis of this brilliant and classy production. More about our man on an interview to be published this Sunday here on IDMW. In this world of continuous movement, better have one’s own identity… That’s no surprisingly where are to be found Mood II Swing with their bumpin’ revamp of Shuya Okino featuring Diviniti’s ‘Shine’ carrying the distinctive elements which have made their trademark along the years. Louis Benedetti signing the perfect crime on the remix package of Bobbi D’Ambrosio featuring Arif ST Michael’s ‘Girl You Need A Change Of Mind’ and more precisely the hot and directive Club Mix over a hard and destructive bassline courtesy of Gene Perez (Soulshine Recordings). Hard to resist to the Doll Combers MonaLeslie Mix of Diva Down Entertainment’s ‘Praise Always’ with the ever inspired SuSu Bobien delivering the very best as usual for those into serious gospel house jams (Gotta Keep Faith). Meanwhile Fabio Tosti brings us back to the reputedly good ol’ days on his blues & jazzy inspired mix of ‘Take Me Down’ sharing the production duties alongside Logicalgroove featuring Savio Vurchio (Music Plan). See ya all next week for another delivery of unmissable cuts. Peace y’all. MFSB

Other NewsFollowing on from the last Weekender, Uber continue forward full steam ahead, proudly presenting the Offical Southport Weekender Reunion Party on Saturday 24th May at Concrete in Birmingham!
To fight off the post Weekender blues Uber bring Southport Weekender's Steve Butler to Concrete, playing alongside Birmingham's own Gary Ward, Adam Turner from 'Movementz', and residents Paul Griff & Carl Ackerman.
Then in June, none other than Frankie Feliciano makes the trip to Birmingham for his first appearance in the second city. Again at Concrete, this will be another event you just cannot miss...Frankie is seriously going to tear the place up, we can't wait!
....So there's two more massive events for your diaries! The Reunion is set to be something special and the party with Frankie Feliciano will surely be the same if you were lucky enough to witness his set at the last Weekender, so get yourselves to support the music we all love at the UK's only current Choice event.....Uber.
And if you fancy a trip over to Amsterdam Choice will be over on Saturday June 7th to help celebrate our good friend Stijn's birthday at Club 11 with everyone's good friend Kerri Chandler.
The Gallery
We've been getting loads of questions asking when the website photo gallery will be up for the last Weekender. We currently have our discs from our longstanding official photographer Colin Williams www.realtimemedia.net which are being worked on as we speak and our new friend Jae, Photos by Jae~www.MoonRisingNYC.com who I'm sure you'll all have seen about is to put it mildly sifting through about 1500 shots which she took, these will obviously take a while longer but Jae's aiming before the end of the month, then its over to Darryn the resident anorak for his side – so basically bear with us.
Merchandise
If you intended and maybe missed getting along to pick up any official merchandise from Graham's stall at the Weekender then don't hesitate to get in touch with him at www.originalsoulboy.co.uk or ring him on 07956 369 999, he's got a whole host of stuff from t-shirts to swat towels, dog tags, mugs, key fobs, bottle openers, teddy bear's, mobile screen wipes etc.

The pieces of music thereafter are taken from the weekly Fresh Grooves mix series as conceived by Michael Fossati.
All your promos to be sent to :
Michael Fossati P.O. Box 9403 – CH 8036 ZÜRICH (SCHWEIZ)
BACK TO FUNDAMENTALS by TORRE - "Higher" (SSOH Records/CD Promo)
"Higher" by the team of Claude Monnet, Jean-Marc Torre, Patrick Torre and Jay Sebag is an incredibly uplifting production built around a powerful groove that together with the contaminous vocals and phat keys creates an irresistible vibe on the danc floor. The 'Uptown Mix' relaxes the vibe for a smoother yet funkier feel. Those Usual Suspects deliver a fierce reworking based on a deeply thumpin' groove and relentless chords, while The Muthafunkaz serve an incredibly sexy set of remixes that combine lush keys and chords with a fierce yet smooth backing groove.
More Reviews
UPZ - "Noiz"/"Ki Sa Ou Di" (Yotam Avni Remixes) (soWHAT/CD Promo)
Tel Aviv based producer Yotam Avni on remix duty for UPZ here, with both "Noiz" and "Ki Sa Ou Di" being reworked in an outstanding way, taking the tracks to deeper than deep territory on a slight techy edge, but never letting down the soulful touch that characterizes the original versions. Even when you're not into deep tech-soul house, you need to check this innovative remix package out.
WIL MILTON - "Direct Me" (Blak Ink/CD Promo)
Taken from Wil Milton's forthcoming On The Road album, "Direct Me" is an irresistible deep house track that combines a kickin' funk soaked groove with soul-electro synths to create an irresistible vibe on the dancefloor you can't resist to dance to. The 'Alternative Mix' is a great alteration that features some lovely tweaks here and there alongside a wicked synth solo. Also included are two very useful beats versions that are guaranteed to send the crowd into a frenzy.
JALAL JOHNSON - "The Pilgrimage EP" (Consortium Muzik/CD Promo)
Jalal Johnson follows up his release from last November (the "Trak Wyze Presents DJ Jalal EP") with "The Pilgrimage EP" which features a wonderful selection of productions. Kicking off is "It's Jazz", a ten minute journey deep jazz house vibes. Next is the deeply thumpin' yet smooth "Love you all night", a melodic track featuring great spheric chords and vocals by Johnson himself. The 'Pads & Purcs' mix drops the beat and drums to turn the track into a beautiful reprise. With "Masseusse" and "Spanish Fly", two superb deep house tracks follow, with the former featuring a lovely guitar and jazzy keys while the latter features spaced-out synths. Finally there is a brand new remix of "Strength Of A Man" (which features vocals courtesy of Carolyn Victorian and spoken words by Ovina Gregory) that takes the track to deeper grounds.
DJ APHREME featuring LENNY HAMILTON - "Go! (Feel My Love)" (Next Dimension Music/CD Promo)
"Go! (Feel My Love)" by DJ Aphreme features a passionate vocal performance by Lenny Hamilton over a smooth and soulful backdrop that is beautifully instrumentated. A great selection of mixes is included in the package, with DJ Aphreme himself dropping three great mixes that all keep it soulful while letting you choose between laidback, deep and funky vibes. Terron Darby and Esteban Fernandez rework the track into a deeply rumblin' affair with a funky twist, while Moody Groova's deep dub is on a fiercely thumpin', old school styled tip.
MELCHYOR A - "The Next Best Thing" (Soulful Sessions/CD Promo)
Melchyor A presents some dope deep house music with "The Next Best Thing", a production that is using a funktified groove as base for wicked spoken words, jazzy keys and melodic chords that altogether create an irresistible feeling. Two sets of mixes included in the package, both taking you on a journey into blissful |
