During the 35 years of making music, Dave Lee has constantly been searching for new singers and writers to work with. A search that’s ended up with many fantastic collaborations and releases with the likes of Thelma Houston, Taka Boom, Dianne Charlemagne and Seal. More recently this quest led him to Maurissa Rose and the creation of their album ‘London / Detroit’. After hearing Maurissa's voice on a Theo Parrish record Dave reached out to her and after a few long phone conversations and mp3 swaps, they both agreed a visit to London would be much more fun than trying to work together remotely. Maurissa made the journey from her home in Detroit to write and record an album with Dave at his studio in March 2022 - as they both feel that creating music together in the same room is always better. The fruits of their labour yielded 11 brand new songs (and 1 cover) tapping into their collective love of Soul, Disco and R&B, with a sprinkle of Soulful House. This album is a special one for Dave Lee as it’s the first time in his career he’s recorded an entire album with the same singer on every track.

In the album’s liner notes Dave talks of how Maurissa is a naturally creative person, full of ideas, warm & unpretentious which is reflected in her vocal performances throughout ‘London / Detroit’. Dave’s expertly crafted music is backed up with a deeply passionate yet effortless delivery from the Detroiter, a marker of someone who has honed and perfected their art. When it comes to the music side of this LP, Dave Lee is once again proving he’s still at the top of his game and shows no sign of relenting. Drawing from his encyclopaedic knowledge of all things Soul/Funk/Disco, we are treated to a range of styles, BPMs and influences from 95bpm street soul to more uptempo disco and boogie flavours. Be it the rippling synth voyage opener of ‘You Decide’, taking the Johnnie Taylor classic ‘What About My Love’ into a modern Boogie realm, upping the tempo on the soulful houser ‘I Feel the Sun” or bringing the tempo back down to the bassy acidic chug of ‘You’re Giving Me Life’. Mr Lee is truly adept at creating a modern disco soul sound without the usage of samples.

London and Detroit might be two very different cities on opposite sides of the Atlantic but this album is proof that creative synergy knows no distance.

Out everywhere on Gatefold Vinyl, CD and Digital/Streaming.

con que letrita.trip.or.hop

[Intro]
You know, I was, I was truly contemplating, yeah...
If we could persist on this vibe because…
This potent current holds immense sway, and it…
It makes me sense like a…
It, it makes me feel so… ah! 

[Verse 1]
I detest the tone you speak to me, and that wild style you wear,
Your frantic way you drive my vehicle, that lingering gaze I can't bear.
The scattered bits you leave behind, your tuneless humming, it grates on my mind,
Your constant chatter, your bizarre outlook, a riddle I can't unhook.
Your foot's annoying rhythm, when you're just not contemplating,
Your terrible melodies, a truly trying sound, makes my patience run aground.
Your uncanny way of being ever correct,
And the moments your honesty defects,
Your foolish fables and your slow replies when I call.
But mostly I hate the way I don't hate, not even near, not a little at all.

[Pre-Chorus]
Sweetness stirs within my soul right now,
Warmth, inner spirit's growing now,
Essence is the pull, the truth (Oh, essence),
That makes this thing happen.
It questions not the reason, deep, ooh,
So pull near to my heart right now (Closer near),
Just hold me 'til you forget how, ooh.

[Chorus]
Maintain this soul beat, don't cease,
Don't cease 'til your spirit's at ease.
Maintain this soul beat, don't cease,
Don't cease 'til your spirit's at ease.
Maintain this soul beat, don't cease,
Don't cease 'til your spirit's at ease.
Maintain this soul beat, don't cease,
Don't cease 'til your spirit's at ease.

[Verse 2]
Yo, fam, listen, yeah.
The heavy stomp of your clunky shoes, the way you read my thoughts, it’s outta line,
I despise you so deep, it makes me ill, even makes these verses fill.
Snatching my provisions, then declaring you had no other voice,
Your bright morning spirit, the volume of your sound, it echoes all around.
You leave the bright illumination lit, even when your presence quits the room,
Those peculiar tales you tell, they fill me with a silent, looming spell.
I hate when you provoke my laughter, even more when tears come after.
Those discarded garments resting where they land, a mess I can't withstand.
But truth be told, nah, I don't truly despise, not a single bit, no lies.

[Pre-Chorus]
Sweetness stirs within my soul right now,
Warmth, inner spirit's growing now,
Essence is the pull, the truth (Oh, essence),
That makes this thing happen.
It questions not the reason, deep, ooh,
So pull near to my heart right now (Closer near),
Just hold me 'til you forget how, ooh.

[Chorus]

[Bridge]
Brush me, and my senses ignite,
Fam, there's nothing like deep affection's lure, true, ooh.
I'm softening like warm honey dew (I'm softening, ah),
Pure feeling (Ah, pure feeling), precious where we dwell, ooh.
So allow affection to guide our time,
I will not be regretting, ooh,
For this is deep connection's rhyme, ooh.

[Verse 3]
Sorrow's foe, we now disdain,
Boundless devotion lights my gaze, fam, true. (Oh, eternal)
So let affection lead us through the days, (Oh, let love)
I will not be objecting, yeah (No, nah)
For your presence is divine, oh, yes, ooh.
I hate your absence, and the quiet phone,
When you're not close, and I feel all alone.
But mostly, I love the fact I don't hate, not even close, not a fraction, not at all.

[Chorus]
(Yeah, don't stop!),
Don't cease 'til your spirit's at ease (Nah, just keep going).
Maintain this soul beat, don't cease (Keep pushing, darling!),
Don't cease 'til your spirit's at ease (Feel that vibe, yeah!).
Maintain this soul beat, don't cease (Don't play, fam!),
Don't cease 'til your spirit's at ease (Your heart's gonna find peace!).
Maintain this soul beat, don't cease (Keep on, yeah!),
Don't cease 'til your spirit's at ease (Till you truly feel it, love!).

A2 JKriv feat. Adeline - Vertigo (Yuksek Remix)
B1 JKriv feat. Adeline - Vertigo (JN Spirit of 78 Mix)
B2 JKriv feat. Adeline - Vertigo (JKriv Dub)

Razor-N-Tape co-head JKriv delivered a modern disco anthem for his first outing on Z Records with the original release of ‘Vertigo’ featuring vocals from Escort’s Adeline. That was a digital only release but with the addition of two new remixes they are now available on vinyl for the first time.

Joey Negro’s Spirit of 78 remix takes inspiration from the work of Canadian disco supremo Gino Soccio. Built around a hypnotic synth pulse, adding layers of funky guitar and dubby horns. Some dramatic chord changes make the most of the tension and release between verse and chorus sections.

Yuksek is French electronic producer who has been releasing music since 2002 on labels such as Sound of Barclay, Relish, Savoir Faire, his own Partyfine imprint as well as JKriv’s Razor-N-Tape. His remix of Vertigo adds tougher drums under Adeline’s vocals, perfect for the summer.
