Building on from 2024’s release of "Rather Be" by The London Community Gospel Choir (LCGC), we are delighted to present a further twist in the tale with the mesmerising Richard Earnshaw Remixes.

As one of the most dynamic and inspiring forces in the UK music scene, LCGC is Europe's premier contemporary Gospel choir. Their sound seamlessly blends Soul, Funk, House and R&B while maintaining a powerful message of God’s love, peace, and unity through their refreshing and vibrant take on Gospel music.

LCGC has shared the stage with a long list of music icons, such as Elton John, Madonna, Sam Smith, Ellie Goulding, Jessie J, Adele, Gorillaz, Blur, Nick Jonas, OneRepublic, Gregory Porter, Justin Timberlake, and Mariah Carey, and their collaborations continue to expand.

The warmth and infectious energy of a Richard Earnshaw production are something no music lover can resist. Co-founder of record labels Duffnote, One51, Guess and not to mention his various appearances on the likes Soulfuric, Defected, Hed Kandi, Ministry of Sound, Sony Music, amongst many others, Richard has now been a familiar figure in the dance music scene for over 15 years. His steady stream of top-tier productions, remixes, and outstanding live performances have cemented his status as one of the world's most respected producers and DJs.

Having just released his 11th studio album, "Notes", Nathan Haines returns to Foliage Records with the freshest of fresh Fouk remixes of his single "Squire For Hire" featuring the unmistakeable spoken word of legendary Jazz vocalist, Marlena Shaw. 

"Squire For Hire" originally appeared on Nathan’s album of the same name, and now, in 2025, Fouk’s debut Foliage offering delivers the perfect tonic, complemented beautifully with newly recorded saxophone parts from Nathan.

Hailing from Auckland, New Zealand, Nathan studied in New York in 1991, where he immersed himself in the worlds of jazz, hip-hop, and Latin music. These genres would become a huge part of his musical journey, showcased in his recordings & live performances.

In 1993, Gilles Peterson discovered Nathan playing in Auckland, and just a year later, his debut album "Shift Left" was released on Polygram Records in New Zealand. The album went on to win New Zealand Jazz Record of the Year, marking the start of a recording career that included notable albums such as "Soundtravels" & "Squire For Hire". It was during this time that Nathan established a formidable partnership with the late, legendary DJ/producer Phil Asher, a much-loved and deeply missed figure in the music world.

Fouk aka Daniel Leseman and Junktion (Hans Peeman) have been friends since childhood, and their individual successes as producers made their collaboration inevitable. While the outcome of such a partnership is never guaranteed, their unique house sound, infused with disco and funk, has proven to be irresistibly infectious.

The first digital single to be taken off Dave’s forthcoming "London / Detroit" album with Maurissa Rose. ‘Open Me Up’ is a romping slice of classy Deep House, rich with layers of warmth and soul. Maurissa proving how strong and accomplished she is as a vocalist with an emotive passionate performance. Whether it’s the bubbling bassline, loosely trucking percussion or ethereal textures that lead the way to an Italo-style piano, it's classic stuff that's new and original. It is a taster of what’s to come from the hotly anticipated album from them both next year.

For the latest release on his consistently impressive Mate Records imprint, Madrid stalwart Rafa Santos has turned to Parisian twosome Groove Boys Project. Their take on house tends towards the nostalgic and musically expansive, and the four tracks assembled here fit that description. They begin by joining the dots between Kerri Chandler style garage-house and dreamier European deep house on 'Keep On Dreamin' (Club Mix)', before expertly fusing elements of new age house, Italo-house and solo-laden US deep house on 'Sunrise (Underwater Mix)'. Over on the flip, 'The Jazz Palace (Long Ride Mix)' is a vibraphone-solo laden chunk of rolling deep house warmth and Rawai hook-up 'Djoon Trax (937 Classsic Mix)' sees the duo add delicious jazz guitar solos to a sun-soaked deep house groove rich in rubbery synth-bass.
