Roots, Funk & Soul - The End of Summer Workout

This original downtempo version was only released in Europe along with a couple House Mixes (including my favorite - the House of Jazz mix). 
Written/Produced and Mixed by Rick Lenoir for Pure Soul Chicago

Jolynn Murray - Wrapped Up Original

John was an incredible artist. The message of our unreleased version of the Blaze infused Coldcut classic seems so timely today. John had offered up a previous interpretation of this song a couple of years earlier with Ron Trent's USG project, but we both loved the song so much - we gave it another shot. Unfortunately, we never got to finish it. Enjoy

John Redmond - People Hold On (The Revisit)

I found this in the archives going through old productions and remixes that I did "a while ago". I don't think this mix of Kings of Tomorrow feat. Michelle Weeks "10 Minute High" was ever released.
