Reel People Music breathes new life into its gleaming vault of back catalogue classics with brand new series Fusion Moves. The series will offer talented music-makers the opportunity to remix and reinterpret label releases of their choosing, kicking off with soulful progressive Kaidi Tatham in the hot seat.

The 2nd single released on 19th January 2024 is Tatham’s re-take of The Realm x Atjazz x Kelli Sae’s deep afro-house burner On The Road, adding wonderfully carefree jazz-funk flow ‘n’ feeling replete with sweet synth solos and guitar licks. 

“I know Reel People Music’s discography so well that I had a pretty immediate sense of the tracks I wanted to work with once they gave me the keys to their kingdom,” Tatham explains. “For each song I closed my eyes, imagined playing them live on stage and let the chords and musicality fire from there. My sound incorporates so many different styles, from hip-hop and broken beat to soul and disco. It’s a perfect fit for Fusion Moves. The Reel People team share my mission statement to make people dance, smile and think.”

Based in Belfast, Kaidi Tatham is the multi-instrumentalist, producer and DJ who helped to define West London’s iconic broken beat sound during the late Nineties but who has continued to operate beyond genres and pigeonholes – be that via albums including In Search Of Hope, Bandana and Don’t Rush The Process, his dance music-focused pseudonym Agent K and a raft of collaborations including those with Bugz In The Attic, 4Hero, Amp Fiddler, Amy Winehouse and Slum Village.

Reel People Music is a label borne out of the soulful success of acclaimed collective Reel People but representing so much more. Launched in late 2009, the imprint has built a fiercely loyal international fanbase through its passion for artist development, musicianship, song-craft and soulful groove. Label alumni include Tony Momrelle, Portia Monique, The Layabouts, Kelli Sae, Sebb Junior, Opolopo, Angela Johnson, Emmaculate and Mothers Favorite Child.

Expect to hear further Fusion Moves in the coming months. Fresh twists on quality songs and sounds. Always with soulful authenticity at the heart.

On March 8th, Reel People Music release their latest soulful tonic for 2024 with the sensual Emmaculate remixes of Home by Atjazz & Shea Soul.

From his misspent youth skateboarding through the small-towns of Northeast England to running a successful independent record label, in-between producing and remixing for a wealth of talent around the world, Martin “Atjazz” Iveson has become synonymous with the highest levels of style, production and innovation in the independent music scene. Fans will recognise that the Atjazz sound is very personal and he puts a part of himself into every track he produces or remixes.

People always ask Shea Soul when it was that she first started singing, but the truth is, she can't remember ever not singing. The passion began long before she could even explain what it was, and the dreams of sharing her voice with the world were always there.

Now after years of learning and experience, Shea has worked with the likes of Toddla T, Basement Jaxx, Bugs in the Attic, Zed Bias, Calvin Harris, Example, and Shy FX to name a few. Writing and featuring on hit club tracks such as 'Make it Funky For Me' with Attacca Pesante, and 'Perfectly' with the Layabouts, music has paved a colourful journey for Shea. She's performed to thousands of people singing worldwide at festivals and stages covering Japan, South Africa, and Europe including the preeminent London Wembley Arena, and Hamburg's famous Mojo Club, and her writing and vocals have featured on released singles globally.

Raised by a Father and Mother who were a musician & abstract painter, Eric Welton AKA Emmaculate was groomed for the arts. Growing up in a city called Elgin on the outskirts of Chicago, he discovered his love for House Music & Hip Hop in the 1980's as a young teenager.

In 1990, Eric started collecting records & learning how to DJ & produce music. He earned the nickname Emmaculate as a play on words because of his immaculate attention to detail & quality beats. He developed his DJ & production skills over the years in House Music, Hip Hop & R&B, and became one of the go to producers & mix engineers in Chicago. Over the years, Emmaculate forged relationships with many of the Chicago legends of House Music, giving him an invaluable education and mentorship.

2017 marked the year that Emmaculate began releasing music as an artist himself. Since, he has produced songs & remixes on labels T's Box, Mirror Ball (in which he is a partner with Terry Hunter), Ultra, Yoruba, Nervous, Reel People Music, Dopewax, 300 Entertainment, Z Records & more. His productions have reached the #1 spot on Traxsource many times. Emmaculate is twice Grammy nominated as a producer on the Ten City album, "Judgement", and as a mix engineer on Terry Hunter's remix of Beyonce's "Break My Soul". His remix of the 90's smash "Show Me Love" by Robin S was the #1 selling record overall of 2022 on Traxsource, and his remix of Mary J. Blige's "Good Morning Gorgeous" was the #3 Afro House record of 2022 as well, earning him a spot in the Top 20 Artists of the year on Traxsource. The success continued into 2023 with Emmaculate giving the remix treatment to artists such as Incognito, Roy Ayers and Barbara Tucker.

As a DJ, Emmaculate has played notable events such as the revered Chosen Few Picnic & Festival in Chicago, Amsterdam Dance Event, SXSW in Austin, Miami Music Week, Suncebeat in Croatia, Mi Casa Holiday in Mexico, and Charivari in Detroit. He is currently available for international bookings in 2024.

Harold Matthews Jr & Piers Kirwan – Turn Your Vibe Around

Get ready to elevate your mood as two artists from opposite sides of the globe, Harold Matthews Jr (Chicago) and Piers Kirwan (UK), join forces to unleash an electrifying collaboration, "Turn Your Vibe Around."

With Harold’s emotive vocals and Piers’ infectious beats, "Turn Your Vibe Around" offers 2 interpretations, from the edgy broken vibes of the ‘Original Mix’, to the deeper swinging rhythms of the ‘Turned It Around Mix’.

Chicago-based Harold wrote his first releases in the early 90’s with artists like Ron Trent, Terry Hunter, Maurice Joshua and Ron Carroll with songs such as “Ritual Of Love” and Barbara Tucker’s “I Get Lifted”. Throughout the late 90’s he was well known for his songs under his ‘Blak Beat Niks’ alias with production partner K. Fingers on PAN Records, Large Music and his own label Melodious Fonk with “The Sun Will Shine”. The 2000’s saw him move on to further projects with the likes of Slip N Slide, Mark Knight, Peppermint Jam, Glenn Underground, Makin’ Moves and Sean McCabe.

We welcome back Piers Kirwan to Good Vibrations Music, after remixing Harold’s “Into You” in 2023. UK born and bred; Kirwan has since the late 80's, slowly worked his way into the global house music scene. As one half of Stereo Mutants for 8 years, with releases the likes of Defected, Duffnote, Seamless, Open Bar, and Soulfuric. And in more recent times expressing his appreciation for eclectic deeper and dynamic sounds, spanning house and broken beat, with releases on Boogie Café, Dance Regular, and Last Forever Records.

Reel People Music breaks new ground, in more ways than one, with the launch of fresh compilation series Broken, Deep & Dope. A spin-off from acclaimed compilation brand Soulful, Deep & Dope – introduced back in 2015 – this new series sees the much-loved independent imprint pushing further at the boundaries of soulful music. All with that customary Reel People feeling.

Broken, Deep & Dope 2024, the series’ first instalment, unleashes 20 superlative examples of the soulful ‘bruk’ (broken beat), nu beat and nu jazz sound that has so innovatively informed contemporary dancefloors around the world since its inception back in late Nineties West London. Bringing together classic cuts from the Reel People Music stable (including those by Daz-I-Kue, Monkey Brothers and Reel People) and key productions from some of its closest affiliates and biggest inspirations (such as Vikter Duplaix, Jazzanova, Bugz In The Attic, Kaidi Tatham, and Sean McCabe), this white-hot selection nips and tucks beautifully between stuttered Latin and Afro rhythms, deep house-edged jams and soaring flights of soul-jazz fancy.

30/70’s opener Acceptance was only released in January and, remixed by Ziggy Zeitgeist and Goodmood, delivers crisp, upbeat, sax-y flow that is wholly reflective of the feel-good vibes across the wider release. Bugz In The Attic’s remix of Reel People feat. Darien Dean’s Upside guides smooth vocals and pads over snappy beats with playful aplomb, and Afronaut’s ascendant take on Alison David’s Dreams sees singer (and crowd) pushing that urgent, infectious percussion every step of the way.

Elsewhere, Harold Matthews Jr & Sean McCabe get deep on Metronome which, remixed by Turbojazz, slinks deliciously upon pulses of synth and lowdown spoken word. McCabe’s dub of MrMilkDee & Jill Rock Jones’ 2 Positions provides similarly mesmeric blasts of synth beneath beat ‘n’ piano trickery, whilst Feiertag feat. Nego True’s swaggering Feel Me nudges effectively into house territory and Don Kamares & Stan Smith’s smokin’ Unwu (one of two tracks here courtesy of renowned Swedish label Local Talk) twists and turns smartly between intense sample loops, glacial keys and shufflin’ drums.

There are sexy, sultry Latin hustles, too; not least SMTHNG SMTIME’s Morning Love, where remixer Jonny Faith cuts stuttered beats with outrageously funky electro-bassline, and Bruk Rogers feat. Onj & Roberta Silva’s slightly looser, piano-sprinkled Deusa. Meanwhile, tracks by Envee (Styrax), Jazzanova (Mwela, Mwela) and Kuna Maze (Samosa) revel in their dynamic jazz-tastic settings – the latter cooking up especially abstract thrills.

None of this is to forget broken beat pioneer, and recent Reel People collaborator, Kaidi Tatham, whose indefinable influence is felt across several cuts on Broken, Deep & Dope 2024, including Alien @£^%(featuring Trian Kayhatu) as well as slick remixes of Monkey Brothers feat. Shaun Escoffery’s Losin’ My Head and Daz-I-Kue feat. Hadiya George’s Pedigree – both featuring on Tatham’s recent Reel People Music album Fusion Moves. Other artists on show include Incognito, Kv5 and Nathan Haines (with anthemic joint Doot Dude).

Reel People Music is a label borne out of the soulful success of acclaimed collective Reel People but representing so much more. Launched in late 2009, the imprint has built a fiercely loyal international fanbase through its passion for artist development, musicianship, song-craft and authentic soulful groove.

Broken, Deep & Dope 2024, with its scattered yet compulsive beats, frisky basslines and acrobatic melodies, promises to further expand Reel People Music’s reputation for soulful depth and drama. Gathering old and new favourites from some of the world’s finest taste-making DJs and producers, this is another scorching, oh-soul essential hustle. End of.
