For the next installment of Manc institution El Diablo’s Social Club’s ‘To Rack & Ruin’ edits series comes from local Manc lads Out of the Basement who bring us two late summer bombs.
These tracks have both been kicking around for over a year now in slightly different forms but now we bring them to you fully refined and suitably mastered heavily for the dancefloor.

Out of the Basement are Steve Leggat and James Ellis. Both have been involved in Manchester's colourful music scene - amongst other things Steve has been running legendary Beat Club with The Stone Roses Mani and James is the founder of Manchester's now defunct deep house label ‘Drenched’.

Side A is a splendid edit of lost soul classic with beats and instruments added for full effect. Side B is a sleazy slo mo cut up of the Brothers Johnson version of the Shuggie Otis anthem 'Strawberry Letter 23'.

300 ltd handstamped vinyl available from all good record stores late September.

RR005 - Out of The Basement - Take Me With You

Modern music missionary "givin' all glory to GOD" as she sojourns on Earth.

With love, to those thinking they livin' 7D life, listen to this, your demons be in strife. Why? JJ shines the light, on parts of the psyche repressed that fight. How? With the grace of God, readin' the Bible and his Word. What once was hidden in the dark now seen, lookin' back on 'new age' it was all a dream."

"She fuses soul funk, gospel and hip hop to bring about a new Christed era of music in this age of his returning. With beats at 528hz carrying the love frequency, they will permeate your every cell. Get ready to move, this bible-reader is a groover."

With influences like George Duke, Earth Wind and Fire, Brand New Heavies, India Arie, Erykah Badu, La Bouche, Real McCoy, Solitaire, Jamiroquai, Skynro, Credence, Crosby Stills, Nash and Young, Indigo Girls, Christine Anu, Crowded House, Jakubi, 360 and Bliss n Eso, it’s no wonder this sound is so unique. Opened for the likes of Deya Dova (Aust), Electric Punanny (U.S.A) and Kasabian (U.K) - this is someone to watch.

The 7 track EP release ‘Metanoia’, had commercial and community radio play across Australia (this was new age and under the old moniker 'Ikigai). The end of 2020 saw the release of crowd favourite 'Rainbow Ridin' - a collaboration with Prod StayNice as 'Meiken'. Currently in collaboration with International and local producers, Talitha's 2022 is looking good. Dec will see the release of single 'Feelin' Myself' with international guests. 

Get ready to dance and have your heart smile. TK is bringing back that empowerment funk.

I love to share Soul, Funk and Disco and a whole lot more. I have been heavily into rare grooves of the R&B variety since the early 2000's enjoying the club scene in Leeds Northern England where I essentially grew up. I love it all from Northern Soul to rare disco...if its uplifting funky and danceable I'm all over it!
I got my first turntables in 2013 living in Northern BC and have been enjoying playing Serato vinyl whenever I get the chance!
Moved to Rossland in 2016 and have really been enjoying the vibrant dj scene here. In 2020 transitioned to playing boutique events around the kootenays and recorded a monthly radio show Regen Rhythms for https://www.iamsoundacademy.com and Kootenay Coop radio.

As a spiritual being having a human experience, I primarily process the world through words and music. As a DJ, I connect to people through house music. Expect to hear deep, tech, and afro from me. - love, teddy g.
