On 9th July 2021, deluxe New York singer-songwriter Kelli Sae releases a superb remix of her bold and beautiful single for Reel People Music, Believe In A Brighter Day. The record, a supreme remake of the Platinum Doll soul-house hit for Tommy Musto's iconic Suburban label, now gets a proper house workout from French house maestro Rocco Rodamaal.

Believe In A Brighter Day was produced by Michael Gray, who helmed Sae's sassy Reel People Music debut Good Love earlier this year and, has sprinkled studio magic upon a further series of singles set to showcase much more of Sae’s insane songcraft and delivery throughout 2021.

Kelli Sae’s story has it all. An internationally acclaimed artist, she previously shone as lead vocalist for renowned jazz-funk collectives Incognito, Count Basic and Defunkt, and worked with Tina Turner, Chaka Khan, Patti LaBelle, Ashford & Simpson and Me’shell Ndegéocello among others. Born of Puerto Rican, African and French descent, Sae has soulful eclecticism in her blood. The exciting mix of sounds, cultures and influences across her three, independently released solo albums is testament to this, as well as her respected forays into composing, playwrighting and stage performance. 

With its irresistibly feelgood summer-time vibe, Believe In A Brighter Day is sure to fire Sae's reputation even higher and deliver another key career milestone. Believe…

Mike Dunn feat. MD X-Spress - DJ Beat That Shhh (CTRUS Remix)

At the height of the Covid-19 lockdown, A-Trak had a musical epiphany. Stuck at home experimenting, he remembered he had a broken E-Mu SP1200 in storage that he’d been meaning to fix for over 10 years. The mythical drum machine with a gritty 12-bit sound was the weapon of choice for so many of the producers who shaped A-Trak’s ear: from Pete Rock to Madlib, from DJ Muggs to Kenny Dope, from Todd Terry to Alan Braxe and DJ Falcon. After a chance repair job, Trizzy taught himself how to use the rare SP, chopped up everything in sight and quickly churned out the rawest house beats he’s ever made. The result is a two-part EP of uptempo head-nodders, stripped down and named after the notoriously short sample time of his new toy. Best served dirty and loud.

A1) Mike Dunn Feat MD X-Spress – ‘DJ Beat That Shhh
B1) Mike Dunn - Move It, Work It (MD Vokal MixX)
B2) Mike Dunn - Move It, Work It, (MD Dub MixX)


On 7th August the godfather Mike Dunn presents an EP fuelled by a pumping heart of pure house, entitled ‘DJ Beat That Shhh’ / ‘Move It Work It’. 

Both tracks capture Mike’s essence, placing his trademark hip house booty style vocals and stripped-back, jacking drums centre stage. 

‘DJ Beat That Shit’ is classic, bumping 90s Chi goodness updated with modern technology, whilst ‘Move It, Work It’ is a no-nonsence smoke and strobe throbber, that recalls the best of Trax and DJ International.

For anyone who knows their shit, Mike should need no introduction, but for those that don’t, he was highly influential in birthing the modern day dance music phenomenon, especially with tracks like ‘Face The Nation’, ‘God Made Me Phunky’, ‘Let It Be House’ and ‘Personal Problem’. 

Mike created hip house, DJ’d with fellow legends Ron Hardy, Larry Heard and Armando Gallop, produced for house heroes Armando, Fast Eddie and K-Alexi Shelby, and worked with the iconic voices of Byron Stingley and Kym English. 

After a long absence from DJing in Europe, Mike returned in 2015 to rock crowds at Panorama Bar, Fabric, Concrete, Sub Club and Glastonbury, demonstrating why the Chicago OG is still very much in demand. 

Watch this space for more big news from Mike this summer.

A1) DJ Beat That Shhh Feat, MD X - Spress

The inimitable T. Williams and James Jacob are back on our block with a fine brace of bangers to follow 2016’s The Point EP. Once again the pair’s production pedigree and ear for a good groove is in full effect as showcased by their previous collaborations on T’s Today Tomorrow Records and Kerri Chandler’s Madhouse imprint. 
The Learning Process drafts in Tim Deluxe, the man behind monsters by Double 99, RIP Productions and crossover hit It Just Won’t Do, who reveals a new depth to his abilities as he lays down the core of the track with a classic jazz-funk tinged piano riff.  Counterpart Call It In is the yang to the yin of The Learning Process, a rough-hewn direct to the dancefloor jam that’s all about that rolling bassline.

The Learning Process

Straight up house burner from Polish DJ and producer Tanzlife. 

 With a combo of soul drenched vocal samples and jackin' electronic house theories Tanzlife has got a big club winner ready to drop. The EP delivers two outstanding tracks entitled Heart Attack and Cold Fire, both with a seriously classy house feel that really hits the spot if you've been a fan of Local Talks previous releases. 

SUPPORT:
Label Source: It looks like Tanzlife will be a big one! Amazing feedback from everyone...Deetron, C.Prommer, Claude Von Stroke, Eats Everything, Mad Mats, Axel Boman, Gerd, Rainer Trüby, Willie Graff, Peter Kruder, Jimpster, Moodymanc etc. Just check the feedback from Phil Darimont...

What You Did To Me

Chicago house music legend Mike Dunn, has been DJing and producing music for over twenty years. Hailing from Englewood, Chicago, Mike started out DJing at the local block parties that took place playing disco, funk, soul and prototype Chicago house tracks.
“I was one of the first cats bringing two reel-to-reels and spinning with them at the parties. I was bringing out two Pioneer 707s, doing the Hummingbird, Jacks, The Courtyard, etc. I’d bring a drum machine, too. I would make tracks right then as the party was going. Way before my guys Daft Punk and all of them were doing live gigs, I was doing that at the basement parties – just bringing drum machines and doing everything live. A lot of my early tracks came from me doing them at the party when the party was going on. I’d save it in memory and bring it home and polish it up. But I listen to it now and it’s like, damn… didn’t use enough cleaner!”
Word soon spread about his talents and Mike was booked for various clubs in and around Chicago, DJ’ing with house music innovators such as Ron Hardy, Larry Heard and good friend Armando Gallop. It wasn’t long before Mike got the production bug, resulting in his first release in 1987, “Dance You Mutha” on Westbrook Records, he also started to produce and engineer for other Chicago artists, such as Armando, Fast Eddie and K-Alexi Shelby.
More house and techno productions followed in the late 80s with Mike’s distinctive vocal delivery and trademark hip-house, acid, production style, to create tracks such as ‘Let It Be House’, ‘Magic Feet’ and “Face the Nation”, some times under the name Mike Dunn but also under aliases such as MD Connection, MDIII and QX-1.
He continued to produce and release throughout the 1990s, with releases on labels such as Nervous, Nitestuff and Tribal America, whilst also working with other producers and vocalists such as Syleena Johnson, Byron Stingley, Mina Jackson, Kool Rock Steady and Kym English to name a few.
More recently tracks like Phreaky MF’ on French label Robsoul and ‘God Made Me Phunky’, re-released on Defected records, have raised his profile and delivered his music to new audiences. Whilst new interest in Mike’s original old school jamz have taken him to work with the new generation of house and techno producers and labels, demonstrated on tracks such as ‘It’s the Music’ produced by Murphy Jaxx and more recently ‘Touch the Sky’ produced by Alden Tyrell and released on Clone’s Jack for Daze imprint.
After a long absence from DJing in Europe, Mike returned last year, playing at clubs such as Panorama Bar, Fabric, Concrete and Sub Club, and festivals such as Glastonbury, Electric Forrest and numerous others across Europe and US, demonstrating why the Chicago OG is still very much in demand.
2017 see’s Mike Dunn celebrating 30 years of Acid & Chicago house since his debut release back in 87’ with ‘Dance You Mutha’. To celebrate Mike’s releasing a single and album on moreaboutmusic and a full ’30 Years of house’ tour. 2017 will also see the launch of his own label Blackball Muzik…
The Phreaky MF is back…
