The first release on the re-launched Soul Heaven Records label sees the gifted Osunlade makes his return to remix duties, crafting Terri Walker’s ‘He Loves Me’ into his own personal interpretation of music aspiring to elevate the soul. The Yoruba label boss’s Midas touch means that he draws on the key emotive elements of every piece he lays his hands on to create a carefully crafted rendition of the original with warm and uplifting vibes. His Yoruba Soul Mix utilizes Walker’s vocals whilst softening and simplifying the chords of the originals piano riff. Meanwhile his woody percussion draws on his knack for comprising different world music, whilst subtle additions of bar chimes generate elegant and emotive crescendos. The multi-instrumentalist includes various layers of combined sounds that interlink so seamlessly to produce a result consisting of a gracious depth that exemplifies his consideration of every minor detail. The Yoruba Soul Dub bares resemblance to the original track and its world elements, but it distances itself from its softness by involving a driving kick and a bassy hook to accompany Walker’s mesmerizing vocals. Rounding up the trio is the original mix where British singer/songwriter Donae’O is in charge of production. With a career track record that demonstrates his various different talents, Donae’O’s knowledge and experience of both house and R’n’B make him the ideal cohort to fellow R’n’B singer/songwriter Terri Walker.

Terri Walker ‘He Loves Me’ (Yoruba Soul Mix)

The most joyously pure D.I.S.C.O. track I've produced since Pocket Angel. I'll probably release this on the same package as Ghetto Woman at some point in the near future.

Leftside Wobble - Express Yourself

Patti Jo to my knowledge only made two tracks but oh what tracks they were. Both were written and produced by Curtis Mayfield and have been staples in my sets for many years. 'Make Me Believe In You' is the better known of the two (the Tom Moulton mix is one of his finest) but Ain't No Love Lost, released the year before in 1972 is just as strong and if anything has even better arrangements. Can't believe it's taken me this long to give it a LW re-spin! As ever this may see the light of day over the summer as a limited release but has mainly been put together for my forthcoming sets.

Ain't No Love Lost (Leftside Wobble Edit) - Now Available @ Juno Download

Re-grooved version of a Cerrone classic that builds, twists & undulates over the course of it's near nine minute journey. In many ways this was one of the first disco tracks that feels like a  prototype for House music but using real musicians rather than machines. A simple infectious groove that gets under your skin and builds towards a stunning sax laden crescendo towards the close. Can't wait to drop this on Friday at Big in Japan @ The Book Club - http://tinyurl.com/69ho9en
