Grace - Not Over Yet (Loverush UK! Radio Edit)

Hear My call (David Harness Harlum Mix)

Hard to believe it's been more than a year since our <a href="http://blog.soulclap.us/2010/09/13/freep02/">Clap & Friends FreE.P.</a> and almost two since we kicked off the series with <a href="http://blog.soulclap.us/2009/12/17/the-rnb-free-p/">three slices of r&b infused house that came to define a chunk of our sound</a>. With everything that's happened in the last 2 years it would be easy to forget the importance of giving back, but fear not loyal clappers, we wont let you down. So for FreE.P. #3 we continue in the spirit of "showcasing unreleased, but dance-floor-tested material for free download on our website" with three certified bombs by men of the moment, MAM. But we're getting ahead of ourselves, so let's go back in time...

It was "One of Them Nights" back in late 2009 and as usual we were at an afterparty in Leeds when a sudden urge left us very much in need of a spliff. "I got that chronic right here, blood" came a voice from none other than the track-master himself, Miguel Campbell. As you probably gathered from the <a href="http://blog.soulclap.us/2011/09/28/episode-94-39-minutes-of-funk-with-mam/">podcast</a> we just posted, it was love at first smoke and 2 years down the road the music of Miguel, and his partner in MAM, Matt Hughes have become staples in almost all our DJ sets. You can get <a href="http://blog.soulclap.us/2011/09/28/episode-94-39-minutes-of-funk-with-mam/">the whole scoop on MAM in the podcast post</a>, but to make a long story short, after the massive response we got for including "Can't Live Without Music" on our Essential Mix we figured it was time to big up our boys with FreE.P. That is, before <a href="http://www.phonicarecords.com/product/view/101173">Wolf + Lamb stepped in and offered up a four track on their Black Label</a>. At the time, we figured we could help give the record an extra push, but little did we know Miguel was about to blow...

But lets cut to the chase, we're so proud to have these MAM tracks as our latest FreE.P. They are 3 bonafide dance-floor bombs that have become staples in our DJ sets over the summer and are a fantastic representation of the MAM sound; thumping french-touched, sample-crazy house music, but slowed down for a new generation. First in line, "Reel Sweet" is a warmup weapon of choice, perfect for getting into the 80's mode and seducing the crowd. Next up is "One Of Them Nights (Alternative Mix)", a special version of one of the most requested MAM cuts off the Wolf + Lamb Black release. This interpretation is guaranteed to get you down, Mr Ocean would be proud. Last, but certainly not least, is "Can't Live Without Music", the jam that started it all. Its a slowed down, bass-heavy vocoder workout that is a personal favorite and a theme song for our journey along this long road we call music. YEAHHH BOI!

MAM - Reel Sweet

Brother Brown - Under the Water (Breeder Remix)

Many people don't know this but for me I this is by far the best production I have ever been involved in. When Kevin Saunderson first heard it he cried - no joke XX

REESE Project - Where Love Lives (Serial Diva Mix)

The first Retro mixed tape recorded at Angels back in the early 90's enjoy!

ANGELS mix tape Vol 1 by Paul Taylor circa 1992

When we made this and played it for the first time to Kevin Saunderson he was reduced to tears - no shit. A very very proud and humbling moment in time for myself and the Serial Diva team. Peace X

Tilt - Headstrong (Relentless Vocal Mix)

RETRO - Pioneers of the Classic House Sound. X

Retro's 16 Birthday at Tall Trees

Now for your aural pleasure an Angels classic from 1992. Created by Myself, Mark Hadfield and Paul Waterman otherwise known as LOVELAND.

Massive and very rare - enjoy. Team Loveland X

Respect - Young Hearts Run Free (Lovelands NRGetically Executed Dub)

Barry White feat. Quincy Jones, James Ingram &amp; Al B. Sure - The Secret Garden (Manny Ray's ReRub) (CDR)

"Secret garden" by Quincy Jones (which features the likes of El Debarge, Barry White, James Ingram and Al B. Sure on vocals) has been remixed many times since its release in 1989 on the "Back on the block" album, but this brand new version by Manny Ray stands out with its funk drenched, subtle yet captivating backing from the rest (CD-R). 

2008

Barry White feat. Quincy Jones, James Ingram, Al B. Sure - The Secret Garden (Manny Ray's ReRub)

Created by once main resident Dj at the iconic Angels in Burnley. Paul was a jock at the venue from 1976 right through until it's closure in 1996.

Angels was the birth place of Retro the UK's longest serving dance brand - established in 1989 and still going strong with an outstanding reputation as the Pioneers of the Classic House sound.

Angels Re-Union Edition One

Now this is Nostalgic!

My first ever studio production alongside breaks master Danny Hybrid and master engineer Tony King featuring none other than Kylie Minogue - when she was acting in neighbours.

The sound was based around an underground event at ANGELS in Burnley Lancashire called VISION and used to attract thousands every Friday in 1991.

Strange but true story - that just would not happen these days. How I wish it would.

Enjoy this rare classic in WAV form.

Peace

I Feel Love (Future Feelings Edit) (NEW DL LINK IN DESCRIPTION)

Major dance tune given the LOVELAND sound by myself and Mark (Rox) Hadfield

My Digital Enemy - Wasted (LOVELAND MIX)

Bootlegged by Mark Hadfield and Paul Taylor 5 years ago who tried to get it released but  Anthony Kiedis, Red Hot Chilli Pepper's lead singer and writer blatantly refused to allow it although 250,000 illegal copies were downloaded and would have certainly charted at a high level.

This Ibiza favourite was championed by Roger Sanchez and cited it as the best release of the summer.

Paul Taylor is still being bombarded with requests wherever he plays and says that the track is one of their finest productions.

The track will be most remembered by the maddest crowds at the huge Tall Trees Club complex in Teesside England.

ROX and TAYLOR feat Red Hot Chilli Peppers - Otherside - main mix

In memory of some great nights at this amazing venue feel free to download x

Angels mix tape Vol 2 by Paul Taylor circa 1993

A professional DJ since the 70’s, Paul has become an international club legend with his RETRO HOUSE nights.

Since those early days in the UK, Paul has built up a reputation as the dj who is passionate about his music - knowing exactly what the people want and getting the dance floor buzzing. 

His philosophy to keep close to his audience has been an unequivocal success. Involved in the creation of the dance outfit Loveland in the early 90’s achieving four top thirty hits in the nationals and dance music record of the year in 1994 with the seminal "Let the music lift you up". Loveland also remixed and reproduced over 60 tracks for other artists from D Ream, Barbara Tucker, D Mob to Lulu.

Recently the newly formed Rox & Taylor received huge critical acclaim for the remix of Red Hot Chilli peppers ‘ Otherside’. 

Having released numerous Retro compilation albums, his residency in Pacha Ibiza sparked the release of the Pacha Classics album; a huge success on a worldwide scale and the biggest selling album in Ibiza. 

Much has been written about this enigma of a man who developed from a teen DJ on the decks in Burnley to an internationally recognised icon.
