During the 35 years of making music, Dave Lee has constantly been searching for new singers and writers to work with. A search that’s ended up with many fantastic collaborations and releases with the likes of Thelma Houston, Taka Boom, Dianne Charlemagne and Seal. More recently this quest led him to Maurissa Rose and the creation of their album ‘London / Detroit’. After hearing Maurissa's voice on a Theo Parrish record Dave reached out to her and after a few long phone conversations and mp3 swaps, they both agreed a visit to London would be much more fun than trying to work together remotely. Maurissa made the journey from her home in Detroit to write and record an album with Dave at his studio in March 2022 - as they both feel that creating music together in the same room is always better. The fruits of their labour yielded 11 brand new songs (and 1 cover) tapping into their collective love of Soul, Disco and R&B, with a sprinkle of Soulful House. This album is a special one for Dave Lee as it’s the first time in his career he’s recorded an entire album with the same singer on every track.

In the album’s liner notes Dave talks of how Maurissa is a naturally creative person, full of ideas, warm & unpretentious which is reflected in her vocal performances throughout ‘London / Detroit’. Dave’s expertly crafted music is backed up with a deeply passionate yet effortless delivery from the Detroiter, a marker of someone who has honed and perfected their art. When it comes to the music side of this LP, Dave Lee is once again proving he’s still at the top of his game and shows no sign of relenting. Drawing from his encyclopaedic knowledge of all things Soul/Funk/Disco, we are treated to a range of styles, BPMs and influences from 95bpm street soul to more uptempo disco and boogie flavours. Be it the rippling synth voyage opener of ‘You Decide’, taking the Johnnie Taylor classic ‘What About My Love’ into a modern Boogie realm, upping the tempo on the soulful houser ‘I Feel the Sun” or bringing the tempo back down to the bassy acidic chug of ‘You’re Giving Me Life’. Mr Lee is truly adept at creating a modern disco soul sound without the usage of samples.

London and Detroit might be two very different cities on opposite sides of the Atlantic but this album is proof that creative synergy knows no distance.

Reel People Music proudly presents the first single from Sebb Junior’s hotly anticipated new album La Vie D’Artiste — a standout summer soul jam titled “Knocks Me Off My Feet,” created in collaboration with UK soul collective Reel People and featuring the gorgeous vocals of US gospel and R&B talent Darlene McCoy.

“Knocks Me Off My Feet” oozes feel-good energy, blending classic modern soul and smooth R&B into a breezy, radio-ready groove. Sonically, it draws clear inspiration from the golden era of late ’70s and early ’80s soul—echoing the warm, melodic funk of The Gap Band, the uplifting anthems of Maze featuring Frankie Beverly, and the sensual, slow-burn magic of The Isley Brothers. Built around lush chords, tight rhythm guitar, and sun-soaked keys, the track strikes a perfect balance between retro soul nostalgia and contemporary production polish. With its live instrumentation, irresistible chorus, and radiant energy, “Knocks Me Off My Feet” is tailor-made for summer soundtracks and timeless soul playlists alike.

On vocal duties is GRAMMY-nominated gospel singer, radio host, and actress Darlene McCoy, who brings warmth, character, and emotional weight to the record. A celebrated artist from Atlanta, Darlene’s voice is rich in conviction—lifting the song’s message of unexpected love and emotional surrender to soaring heights. It marks her debut with Reel People Music and a refreshing moment of soulful crossover magic.

Behind the music is French-born, Spain-based producer Sebb Junior, renowned for his prolific output in the deep and soulful house scene. A long-time favorite of DJs and dancers worldwide, Sebb brings his signature finesse to this more organic, groove-led production. “Knocks Me Off My Feet” also sees him reunite with Reel People, the UK collective and label behind a wave of genre-defining modern soul, broken beat, and house releases.

The single will be available both digitally and as a limited 7” vinyl, featuring original, radio, and instrumental versions.

It’s almost hard to believe that a record with anthem status like Pete Heller’s ‘Big Love’ was created out of a happy accident, but that is exactly how it happened. Left to his own devices as his studio partner Terry Farley left to watch a Chelsea game, Pete Heller was playing around with his Akai sampler when he produced what is arguably one of the most recognisable pieces of dance music of the 1990’s. Now this enduring classic has been remixed by Urbana Records boss and Spanish powerhouse producer David Penn. Modernised for 2019 dancefloors, Penn brings his signature rolling bassline and infectious groove to this club anthem, once again proving the timelessness of ‘Big Love’.
