Soledrifter returns to Papa Records with a quirky but infectious deep house groove.

‘Too Loud’ features Canadian vocalist Alexandra Morrison and is set to make waves and spice up global dance-floors in Summer 24.

With an approach to dance beats that is all his own, the man known as Soledrifter aka Dmitry Meshcheryakov makes music that stirs the spirit to move. After immigrating from Moscow, Russia to Halifax, Canada, he began churning out tracks in his basement beat kitchen. It wasn't long before Dmitry's work started pricking up ears throughout the house music industry. Releasing ‘Halifax Explosion’ EP on Chicago's D'lectable Recordings in 2006 would lead to the track "Words" being included on DJ Heather's "House of Om" Mix for OM Records the same year.

Soledrifter's mighty roster of remixes and originals has seen releases on esteem labels as Madhouse, Hed Kandi, Simma Black, Salted Music, Large, King Street Sound, Peppermint Jam Records and of course our very own Papa Records.

And, looking to capture the sweeping musical range of these Cielo nights, Patterson's own record label, Vibal Records.

Papa Records are back, back with a bang, with a quality 2nd release for 2025 as we present the Diplomats Of Soul featuring Incognito & Vanessa Haynes – Sweet Power Your Embrace, the Terry Hunter & Emmaculate Remixes.

Sweet Power Your Embrace is, of course, James Mason's seminal Jazz-Funk masterpiece. It was originally recorded in 1977 for his debut solo album, Rhythm Of Life, released on New York independent label Chiaroscuro.
James Mason was a guitarist and keyboardist who, in the late 1970s, was a member of Roy Ayers’ band, Ubiquity, appearing on the 1977 album Lifeline and prominently on the showcase cut Running Away.

Mike Allin & Ralph Tee, aka Diplomats Of Soul, teamed up with Jean-Paul ‘Bluey’ Maunick and his legendary enterprise, Incognito, to rework this classic in 2015. The gorgeous interpretation was topped off with the powerful, soulful vocals of chanteuse Vanessa Haynes and was released on Ralph’s long-standing & hugely respected Expansion Records.

Mirror Ball Recordings label owners and all-around good guys Terry Hunter and Eric ‘Emmaculate’ Welton join the party with a stunning set of remixes that honour the musicality of the original while adding that Chicago bump and groove for the dance floor.
