King Most "Moody Umi" Feat Yasiin Bey & Moodyman

Ruby & The Fitz
AKA
Brenda D & Brian Gardner

"Love Me"

Featured on
Soul Foundation Recordings SFRV-001



"Love Me" has a distinct throwback, underground party sensibility, which sounds familiar, yet altogether new and contemporary. The sweet and sensuous vocal aesthetic of Brenda D, is nicely contrasted by hard hitting beats and male vocals by Brian G which float just beneath the surface, painting a picture of a flirtatious conversation between two lovers. Dubby synth stabs echo over the track, luring the listener deeper into the percussive rhythms, complimented by an evolving synth pattern and a deep, low-end bassline that play simultaneously, inviting the listener to catch the groove.

LOVE ME

Me and Ben thought it would be fun to play a long DJ set together at Globus, the upstairs floor at Tresor in Berlin. 
We last played together (as Frequency 7) in May 2013. This time we played a ‘back to back’ DJ set, I’m pretty sure playing 2 tracks each for the whole six and a half hour set. All we had in mind beforehand was to start with some Dub and ‘see where it goes’. 

It was a lot of fun so we wanted to share the recording with you.

Most people look one in the eye to try to sum up a person’s soul or read 
emotions. To read Brian, you would be wiser to listen to one of his sets.
Brian's range of emotional expression is wide and deep and his sets reflect what he is feeling
at that moment. Whether his set is comprised of the jazzy, soulful grooves of content
and harmony, or the hard hitting intensity and angst of industrial techno; 
at the end of the day, to Brian, it's all HOUSE.

People have described Brian as, "a big ball of energy, giving himself over the
turntables, as he tries to let the spirit be it". That kind of spiritual energy,
focus, and drive has lead Brian to his current position among Chicago's finest.
Brian gained knowledge of the underground sound while he worked as a buyer at Chicago Record store staples (Hot Jams, Hip House, WaxADDICT) from 1999-2006. During that time, Brian made many connections that lead to a series of successful residencies and bookings at various Chicago Venues, Lofts, and club nights such as; Mad Bar (Music-101), Boom Boom Room, Darkroom, Smart Bar, ROOTS, Sub-T, I Love House Music Wednesdays, along with many others.

For the past two decades, Brian has consistently performed throughout North America
alongside some of the greats for packed crowds in internationally recognized venues. 
He dipped his hands into the realm of theater in 2000, when he worked with Asylum 137 
on a dark theatre production featuring European and Native American clowning. The  
diverse soundtrack encompassed house, techno, classical opera, and a "cirque du soleil" 
style of music. Through ownership of Soul Foundation Recordings in Las Vegas, a highly 
respected collective of artists based in Chicago with a global following, Brian is dedicated 
to reviving what some would say has “been lost” in house music. 

With productions on labels like Farris Wheel Recordings, Minuendo Recordings (Spain), RealDEEP Recordings, Thought Records & remixes on Black Error Recordings (SA) or his own imprint Soul Foundation Recordings, this Disc
Jockey/Producer is undoubtedly tied to music as a part of his being. According
to him, "Music is the only religion I have; it definitely saved me." Whether
Brian is spinning or producing, his sound is unmistakably from the soul...
