Taken from Solina, Promised Me Love is the second single to come from the album and is an amazing showcase for the collaborative and synergistic ethos it comes from as well as the trio of Allysha Joy, Hidden Spheres and Finn Rees who created this originative music.

Promised Me Love is a song that encapsulates the emotions of falling for someone; of how it feels like chasing the wind as you dance together, the need to know that they feel the same as you, the feeling that distance can seem wider, about how you need them to be thinking about you as much as you do about them, about the need for the promise of love even when they cannot make that promise.

The trio of Joy Spheres Rees are all established artists in their own right, with solo and collective credits over the past decade . Firstly as part of the burgeoning and increasingly important scenes in Melbourne/Naarma, Brisbane and Sydney and as global artists with releases on hugely influential labels. Many will know of their work with 30/70 Collective and Close Encounters, amongst others, and many will have experienced their musical creativity on festival line-ups including Gilles Peterson's We Out Here.

Promised Me Love comes out on BBE Music as a digital release and is taken from the album Solina.

Promised Me Love [BBE Music]

Kicking off a new edit series on É Soul Cultura, head honcho Luke Una hands over the keys to three secret weapon edits of transcendental dancefloor tackle. Having spent a lifetime getting his hands dirty digging in crates, Luke’s collection of off-the-beaten-track gems is second to none. For this three-track É Soul edit release, Luke delivers a one-way ticket to the outer reaches of the universe soaking up sounds from Trinidad, the UK and Cameroon along the way. Strap in for a triple threat of signature Luke Una edits reworking Ella Andall, Slick Mission and Manu Dibango for the modern dancefloor.

Up first, Luke twists and tweaks the Caribbean radiance of Ella Andall ‘My Spirit Is Music’, enriching this high-energy heater. Speaking about the track he said, “It’s a remarkable, ‘90s, swerve ball, machine soul, afrobeat groove from Trinidad. Incredibly rare, but most importantly it’s a wonderful fusion of drum machine and this almost carnival-like feel to this afrobeat rhythm that just turns it into the outer cosmos.”

Following that, Luke gets suitably cosmic on the dub dials with his 5am Shabeen Proto House Edit of Slick Mission ‘Times Up’. Produced by Jerry Pike of Atmosfear / Elite Records fame, Luke recounts, “This is a very much missed slice of UK house pressure which has its foot firmly in a proto-house feel. Very DIY, rough and raw – it’s an absolute gem. This is one that has definitely escaped most eyes.”

Last but not least, it’s a stop in Cameroon shining a light on the legendary Manu Dibango and his cover of ‘Jingo’ featuring King Sunny Adé. “Their version of ‘Jingo’ takes the original classic into a whole new level of outer space, afro brilliance. It’s such a beautiful cover and really turns the track into something else. The musicianship and vibes just scream out. Oddly no one really seems to know it.”

Three certified winners from Luke’s underground arsenal, reworked, refined and ready to be deployed on any dancefloor when the feeling hits.

Local Talk label boss Tooli remixes "Thank You" by Rico Herrera. According to Tooli himself this was done using the ol' classic cut'n'paste method from the original parts. Parts from an old CD-Rom containing drum sounds completed the remix.
