---------------------

The "Summer Soulstice" is a big festival of Soul/Funk/Disco/Soulful House and relative genres that takes place in London every year, and which purpose is to raise money to help fight cancer. For this 7th edition, I've created a special rework in memories of Andy Weekes, along with committee member Jester Groove and the rest of the "Summer Soulstice" Crew.

Story :
"In 2006 a dear friend of ours & one of Barnet’s favourite sons, died of cancer in the USA where he had lived for many years. To pay our tribute to a much missed friend & to keep his memory alive, the family & a group of his nearest & dearest, decided to hold a special annual get-together for local friends & an extended family of fellow soul enthusiasts @ a venue close to his heart…"

HB018: Labor of Love - Just For You

Here on Labor Of Love EP covert disco spy Labor Of Love delivers three cuts on the That's What We Doin' EP, and all of them look the American soul sounds of the glittering 1980s - "Favours" kicks things off as a slow jam with chiming keys, clavinet grooves and smooth n breezy vocals, next the title track is a faster golden boogie jam, the kind that Metro Area looked to for inspiration and lastly "Just For You" is the kind of raw bass strutter that would have set the coolest New York funk clubs alight back in the day.

I Hear Music - Unlimited Touch (JMMSTR Re - Edit)

Get mash-up here : http://bit.ly/2nM4AVb
Get original here : https://apple.co/2nQRyGj

In 1980, italian band CHANGE released on RFC Records a magic album including the song 'The Glow Of Love', starring vocalist extraordinaire Luther Vandross. A pure classic ! 
In 2001, Janet Jackson released 'All For You' using a sample of that track, which became a pop/rnb hit single... of course. 

Here is a special mash-up of the two songs. Starting with a meticulous edit of the original version, I added new drums, new patterns, new percs, and placed some of Janet's vocals along with Luther's voice. Then mixed & mastered, plus fully DJ friendly, this mash-up becomes a perfect "classic" tool to play.

Enjoy and please leave your feedback !

Glow Of Love 4 U (Young Pulse Mash-Up)

Todd Terry originally produced a few of PM Dawns tracks, including this lesser known song titled "Shake". The original was very subdued and only a few minutes long. I decided to bring it forward in true TT style to play when I was blessed enough to play at a party with him in Miami. Figured this will just sit in my crate unless I share it, so here you are.

My house edit of Gregory Porter's modern classic "Holding On". Just a tool that I'd been using out for the past year or so, and wanted to share with everyone. Enjoy.

France Joli - Gonna Get Over You [A Das Moth Edit]

For the last 12 years, the way that Detroit-based DJ Pontchartrain has approached music, is centered around two things - learning and sharing. The result has been an interesting change up from the status quo of what comes out of the motor city. Heavily funk-infused and sample-laden original productions, edits and reworks that border on brand new versions of the track, and sets that string together a wide array of sounds that all center around the idea that dancing and feeling music are the main goals.
 
What started off as a project for edits and DJ tools has turned into a rediscovery of the roots of dance music. This shift in the last few years has pushed him into the new opportunities with some of the greatest labels in disco and house realm, and interesting achievements across the globe.
 
Currently he serves as A&R for one of the most prominent edits labels in the world, Whiskey Disco, and for the house subsidiary, Lovedancing. In addition to curating these two outlets and putting out his own records on them as well, in the past few years alone he has released on over a dozen labels, including Kolour LTD, Rocksteady Disco, Delusions of Grandeur, Toy-Tonics, Soul-Clap Records, Masterworks Music and more. Output has been nothing short of consistent, hitting #1 chart positions on sites such as Juno, several times.
 
Wen it comes to performances Pontchartrain believes in the overarching goal of making people dance, and think in equal parts. From the time he brought the Detroit Children’s Choir on stage with him at Movement Festival to sing along, to the bold invocations of poetry and messages of love, the dancefloor is a temple when he’s on deck. A place to worship each other and the feeling of letting loose. Whatever sounds get you there; genre is second to the emotion.
 
Like many of the great Detroit artists he looks up to, there’s a humble blue collar aspect to his background as well. Pontch still works as a social worker directly with drug addicts getting back on their feet right here in the motor city. He volunteers with groups such as Give A Beat, LRNG, Girls Rock Detroit, local public libraries, and is now a volunteer and teacher at Spin Inc music production school. Music is truly a way of life, part of the greater idea of lifting each other up. His actions, sounds, and personality encompass this idea.
