First Single from my Upcoming Album and new project featuring the amazing Sy Smith on Vocals. Mr. George Duke was scheduled to appear on this song but unfortunately he passed away before we had a chance to record him, so here I leave this as a tribute to him. R.I.P.

Growing up in Detroit definitely made me fall in love with many different genres of music. From the amazing artist and musicians to the major labels that were being run in the city when I was a kid. But my main influence like so many of my peers in the early 80's was an iconic DJ named "The Electrifying Mojo" or just Mojo for short. Mojo played everything from Funk to Jazz, New Wave to Rock and Roll. But Mojo was probably best known for playing Prince! Mojo started with his early releases and wouldn't just play one song or two. Mojo would play the entire side of a record and then turn around and "Run it Right Back." His musical freedom on the airwaves WGPR (At the time) was unprecedented. I absolutely fell in love with Price's music during those days. I became a Prince album collector and went to all of his shows in Detroit and he visited us quite often as a direct result of Mojo's exposure. My favorite Prince album was and is "1999" and my favorite song is still "Something in The Water" (Does Not Compute). The past few years I have slipped in a few Prince Edits into my DJ Sets so I wanted to have a personal version of this classic to play as well. Enjoy...

If you have listen to some of my mixes over the years, you have probably heard me playing an Anita Baker remix here and there. I absolutely love her sultry voice and her being from my hometown of Detroit sure doesn't hurt either. I have been a fan of hers since hearing her early stuff with her band "Chapter 8" way back in 1979. The other day I was flipping through some old vinyl records and found her masterpiece "Rapture" and just couldn't stop playing it. It brought back so many good memories! So you know me, I wanted to put my 4am touch on "Mystery" and try to get this amazing song played on somebody's mellowed out Dance Floor! (Enjoy)

By 1985 I was very familiar with the brilliant singer, songwriter, composer Mr. Luther Vandross and he slowly but surely, song by song simply turning into "Luther!" (One Name) This beautiful song was released on his second solo album "Forever, For Always, For Love" in 1982 but I always paired his voice in my mind to the dance floor. maybe it was his early songs "Searching" and "The Glow of Love" with the group Change (1980). Never the less Luther was here to stay... Enjoy!!!

Luther Vandross "Better Love" (DJ Spivey's 1985 Groove)

Initially this was supposed to come out on the HOUSE MASTERS FRANKIE KNUCKLES Compilation on Defected.
To make a long story short... it never did, I was given the blessing from Judy Weinstein (Def Mix Productions Founder) along with Hector Romero to do as I please with this version.
I did this with my keyboardist Erik Deutsch the day after I attended Frankie Knuckles funeral because I felt like I needed to do something not just in his honor but to continue to raise awareness of who this ICON is and undoubtedly none of us house heads should ever forget.
The whistle song is what introduced me to his music so it was only right that I created a version that captured the soul & beauty of the original BUT I wanted to give it more of a BALLAD feel, a version WE CAN ALL USE to close out a great party in his honor when we have them or simply to just hear at your restaurant, lounge, chill/comfort zone.

So ENJOY THIS FREE DOWNLOAD and please play it when and where ever you can no matter where you are.

Growing up in Detroit we were so privileged to have all types of music surrounding us at all times. We had so many independent record stores, Musicians and DJ's everywhere and to top it off we had some really creative Radio Stations. One of the ground breaking stations that we had in the late 70's and early 80's was the amazing WJZZ. Yea, "JZZ" played a new type of progressive Jazz and it was where I first heard a song called: "Tiger in The Rain." I thought that tune was the smoothest song I had ever heard. I later found out the singer was Michael Franks, I became a fan immediately. I was collecting mostly dance records in the early 1980's but from that point on I had to throw in a "Franks album" or two. By the time his album Skin Dive came out (1985) my friends and I all considered ourselves Michael Franks' aficionado's (LOL). It was on this album where Franks collaborated with the super talented Ms. Brenda Russell on "When I Give My Love to You" and as they say, The rest was musical history...  Hope you guys enjoy my early evening "Rooftop" Vibe!!!

Michael Franks with Brenda Russell "When I Give My Love To You" (DJ Spivey's WJZZ Mix)

It was 1980 in Detroit Michigan where I first fell in Love with this Music. I was 13 years old and the Music of Choice for Me and my Friends was Progressive Dance Music. We didn't know it at the time but We were actually creating a Musical Lifestyle of sorts that would follow many of us the rest of our lives.

Sure there would be periods when no music was bought and no new mixes were produced, but time would go by and before you knew it This Music Thing would just Grab hold to Me again...

In 2012 My Musical Journey started again! This dance music would prompt me to start mixing on the web via my YouTube Channel with over 45K followers, and Soundcloud with over 5K and counting... This music would even take me around the U.S and as far away as Beijing China to DJ (Twice). I'm  really excited now more than ever because I am are currently living in Miami and DJing at my residency at N'Namdi Contemporary Gallery.
