Outplay is a record label focused on the deeper side of house music, run by two Dutch producers, Hans Peeman (Junktion) and Daniël Leseman, otherwise known as Fouk. No doubt you'll be familiar with their work, and we've been big fans of their output for years here at SB. 

To celebrate their latest release from Sofatalk & XL Regular, we've invited them to provide a showcase of the sounds you can expect to find on their imprint, and provide an insight into what resonates with them at the label.

“In light of our latest release by Sofatalk & XL Regular we’ve put together a mix which blends all goodness from Jazz, Funk and House, including two tracks of their Afro Quarters EP and some brand new promo’s by the likes of Demi Riquísimo, KX9000 and The Sunburst Band….”

Mighty Clouds Of Joy 'Mighty Cloud Of Joy' (greg wilson & ché wilson rework)

124 bpm

DJ only vinyl 2024.

The Mighty Clouds Of Joy were an LA-based gospel group who’d been releasing records since the early-‘60s, initially as The Mighty, Mighty Clouds Of Joy’. In 1974 they made a departure from their more traditional style when the group went into Sigma Sound Studios in Philadelphia, the epicentre when it came to the soulful dance music that would soon explode as disco, recording their album, ‘It’s Time’, with producer/songwriter, Dave Crawford. Members of the Philadelphia International group, MFSB, already renowned for backing artists like Harold Melvin & The Bluenotes, The O’Jays and The Three Degrees, were brought aboard for the sessions, including the legendary Baker-Harris-Young rhythm section, who, apart from MFSB, fuelled The Trammps, with Earl Young celebrated for innovating the disco style of rock drumming.

I came across the group via their second single from ‘It’s Time’, ‘Mighty Cloud Of Joy’, released in late-‘74. I figure I must have picked my UK 7” out of a bargain bin when I was 14, maybe 15. There’s nowhere I would have previously heard this – it was before I started DJing, and it’s not something likely to be played on radio. I reckon I bought it on spec – I knew the label, ABC, via singles by Eddie Holman, Four Tops and Rufus, so it was a trusted source, and I would have been fascinated that the artist and title were (almost) the same.

It picked up specialist plays from some soul and funk DJs here, including Colin Curtis at the Blackpool Mecca and Les Spaine at The Timepiece in Liverpool, but largely went under the radar. It remained a personal favourite from the period, which I’d have thought would have done well in the States, but it appears to have been largely slept on there too, the track receiving DJ support, but not igniting as you’d imagine it would have. The following year, again recorded at Sigma Sound, the next Mighty Clouds album, ‘Kickin’’, included ‘Mighty High’, which would blow up big time with US DJs and top the disco chart (it wasn’t a track I can ever recall hearing in a UK club). It surprised me to learn that ‘Mighty High’ had been so big, while ‘Mighty Cloud Of Joy’ is conspicuous by its absence from both the US R&B and Disco charts – the latter sounding far more like a disco classic to my ears.

Having remixed Gabriels ‘Love And Hate In A Different Time’ with Ché, inspired by the mid-‘70s Earl Young disco groove, it brought to mind the gospel-infused ‘Mighty Cloud Of Joy’, and this rework resulted. Having played it out while we fine-tuned, despite its relative obscurity, people responded to it like they’ve known it all their lives, it’s ‘movin’ on up’ refrain infectious, which makes it all the more surprising that it wasn’t huge on release.

Pressed on limited vinyl as part of the GW Edits series, and featuring ‘The Turnaround’, an update of Vicki Sue Robinson’s ’76 disco anthem, ‘Turn The Beat Around’.

House Sessions #144 - December 2024 Podcast

The latest 'Paper Years' compilation is here, and what a treat. We take a retrospective look at Florida's very own nu-disco bodyrocker and head honcho at Whiskey Disco, Sleazy McQueen. 

Going back over 10 years, he has provided us with a bundle of dance floor flavours, starting with the proto-house of the Reconnect EP in 2011. Reworks and remixes followed as he joined the Paper family; Crazy P, Flash Atkins, Richard Seaborne and Leon Sweet were all sprinkled with his magic disco dust. The label has also been a home to his Space Coast project, for a slightly deeper side of things in a collaboration with Jorge Collazo. 

The compilation features production highlights, as well as choice reworks and remixes. And if that wasn't enough, there's a brand new track from his disco den to make the comp a must have.
