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.

Glitterbox favourite Dave Lee returns to the imprint in 2025 with ‘People Of All Nationz’, featuring iconic Chicago vocalists Shawn Christopher and Black Widow. A decorated British producer and DJ known under many names, Dave Lee is one of the world’s premier disco and house experts. A bona fide nightlife stalwart, Dave Lee has produced and remixed for the world’s biggest artists including Bob Marley, Pet Shop Boys, Diana Ross, Grace Jones and Lionel Richie to name a small few, while also playing at the very best clubs around the world; an upcoming set at Glitterbox’s Hï Ibiza residency is set for summer 2025. For his latest funk-fuelled disco stomper, Dave Lee utilises the chorus of legendary Chicago vocalist Shawn Christopher’s ‘People Of All Nations’, a certified staple of the 80s and house music mainstay. Shawn Christopher delivers on lead vocals, showcasing her powerful sound that has earned her the status of house music royalty, with fellow Windy City native Black Widow accentuating the record’s positive message of inclusivity and acceptance.

Time to take a trip back to the Windy City. A firm favourite song from Dave Lee’s highly acclaimed ‘Metamorphosis’ album under his AC Soul Symphony alias. This time we’ve pulled in some heavyweight remixes to refresh things up.

The main man Dave Lee has flipped it musically, but still with reference and reverence to Chicago with a deep jackin’ Chi-Town Tribute Mix, slapping a thick 303 front and centre. Up next is the Windy City legend himself, Glenn Underground, with his irresistibly cosmic take, drawing on his deep jazz-funk knowledge. Finishing up is a man we all know and love here at ZR, Opolopo, allowing the heart of the original to refract through his plethora of boogie-funk synth work & studio wizardry.

"This is the first release on the label and there are no holds barred as a stellar cast have been brought together for this project. Danny and Jay were the men behind last years aptly named Wondrous with Su Su Bobien, and fans of that release are set to be equally delighted with Conqueror. Dawn Tallman on vocals needs little or no introduction, having featured on some of the best known labels all over the world since her debut back in 1994. 

The package includes remixes from producers at the very top of their game in the shape of Alix Alvarez, Frankie Feliciano, Guy Robin, not to mention two further mixes from Jay and Danny. Every time I think Ive picked out a favourite mix, one of the other mixes grabs my attention again and Im back to square one. This is soulful house music of the very highest calibre and a wonderful way to get the label off the ground, (no pun intended)."

"'Wondrous', Danny Clark & Jay Benham's debut as a production duo, took the dance floors by storm last year and has been a favourite with many DJ's to this day. Now they are about to launch their own label Solid Ground Recordings, and the first release on the label is nothing less than a masterpiece. 
On 'Conqueror', Danny & Jay team up with the one and only Dawn Tallman who contributes an outstanding heartfelt vocal on the funk-soaked, fierce yet smooth production that oozes with jazzy piano and marvellous organs. Alix Alvarez reworks the track into a deep, remorselessly thumpin' affair featuring lush keys and chords, while Frankie Feliciano delivers a relentless bouncy version full of delicious melodies and killer jazzy keys. Next you have the organic, jazz-funk fuelled interpretation by Guy Robin, followed by the deep infectious late night 'ReVamp Dub Mix'."
