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.

As DJ's all around the world are getting their Prince tunes together for this weekends upcoming "Purple Parties" I decided to rework one of my fav's from Prince from his which was released my senior year of High School on April 22nd, 1985. "The Ladder" is a spiritual song that has a choir type feel to it. The song was co-written by John L. Nelson (Princes Father). It's one of those songs that I would listen to over and over, the kind that you never want to end. Newer Prince fans might not be that familiar with this particular tune because it didn't get much radio play so you had to have the album but my old school Prince fans will surely will get a kick out of this one... Enjoy!!!

This amazing song "Don't You Wait" was featured on Solange's epic 2016 album entitled "Seat at The Table." I literally can't believe it's been nearly ten years since I first heard this song. Man, time flies when you're in love with good music. I always wanted to put my lil touch on this banger and let Solange's beautiful voice simply do the rest... Enjoy!!!

"The Anita Files" features two oldie but goodies, "No One in The world" one of my very first edits from back in 2018 and 2022's "Mystery" which is one of my all time personal Anita songs. Along with these two oldies, I added "Sometimes" a groovy unreleased rework I did last year that I only shared with a few DJ's that play some slower BPM's every now and then. Last but not least, hot off the press is my brand new "Whatever it Takes" rework. If you love Anita Baker as much as I do this collection is simply a must have... Enjoy!!!
