---------------------

The "Summer Soulstice" is a big festival of Soul/Funk/Disco/Soulful House and relative genres that takes place in London every year, and which purpose is to raise money to help fight cancer. For this 7th edition, I've created a special rework in memories of Andy Weekes, along with committee member Jester Groove and the rest of the "Summer Soulstice" Crew.

Story :
"In 2006 a dear friend of ours & one of Barnet’s favourite sons, died of cancer in the USA where he had lived for many years. To pay our tribute to a much missed friend & to keep his memory alive, the family & a group of his nearest & dearest, decided to hold a special annual get-together for local friends & an extended family of fellow soul enthusiasts @ a venue close to his heart…"

The full-length album ‘Operation Disco' that Greg ‘Dr’ Packer has put together for Z Records. On an unstoppable run recently, the quality shows no sign of slowing down as Packer showcases his talent for splicing and dicing tracks. On the bonus second CD he supplies a continuous mix live from his operating theatre, packed to the absolute brim with Packer & other Z Records back catalogue favourites of his.

“It has been a huge honour working on the operation disco album compilation for Z Records which has been on my radar for three decades now and is possibly my favourite House & Disco label. Dave Lee is a big inspiration to me as his 1991 Single 'Do What You Feel' was one of the first records to appear in my DJ sets in my earliest days as a working DJ 30 years ago.
In 2013 I started to produce music under the 'Dr Packer' name and when I began doing the occasional remix for Z Records, I never imagined it would end up resulting in an album project. To be able to work on cover versions of some of my all-time favourite soul & disco songs such as 'You Can't Run From My Love' and some of my all-time favourite vocalists such as Leroy Burgess it is really a dream come true.
Dave Lee is an easy guy to work with and is always open to my suggestions which resulted in me remixing one of my all-time favourite tracks of his ‘Love Fantasy' which is also now three decades old. Not to mention possibly my favourite single from his 'Destination Boogie' compilation, the 80's underground classic 'Colors - Am I Gonna Be The One’ plus two brand new mixes of The Sunburst Band. Making this a very exciting album project with plenty of exclusives and re-masters of my older releases, not to mention my favourite gems from the amazing Z Records back catalogue.” – Greg Packer

Mistura - Runnin' (Dr Packer Remix)

Dave Lee teamed up with Omar. A gifted, prolific artist, Omar learned his craft classically, playing the trumpet, piano, bass guitar and percussion. A former principal percussionist of the Kent Youth Orchestra and later a graduate of the Guildhall School Of Music, Omar was awarded an MBE in 2012 for services to music.

Starlight is a gorgeous, mid-tempo dance record, with Omar’s silky vocals backed up with rich production: soaring live strings, groove-laden clav and a warm bassline creating a heady, inviting atmosphere. Almost viscerally life-affirming and unashamedly positive.

Off the back of the much played remix Dave Lee did of ‘We Go Together’ back in 2019 he has teamed back up with LA soul singer Raquel Rodriguez. This time for the track 'Undone' off her highly respected ’Sweet Side’ LP. Doing what the man does best, Mr Lee has restructured the track for the Disco Boogie dancefloor. Allowing Raquel’s dynamic vocal delivery to glide effortlessly over chunky Disco drumming, P-Funk bass & soulful synths before letting loose into a Roy Ayers-esque jam!

Time for a slice of steel pan filled jazz funk on Z Records. Dave Lee has reworked and re-tracked the vocals of Bah Sambas’s Save Our Freedom with a deft touch. Behind its summery, feel good exterior, this song deals with the important issue of the recent erosion of civil liberties and how we the people must not let governments sneak past restrictive laws that repeal hard fought for rights to protest, strike, and get paid a minimum wage. These mindful lyrics are set to an uplifting steel drum filled Caribbean disco groove with real drums, brass, and a full live band sound. If you could capture the audio equivalent of the sunshine glistening off the water as you dance in the heat, this is what you would end up with.

On the ‘Original Vibe’ mix Dave draws out the thunderous steel drums before the joyful brass sections dance over the silky vocals of Vanessa Haynes and ethereal synth tones. On the flip Dave Lee triple downs on the slap bass factor with his Brit Funk style ‘Let Freedom Reign Mix’. Beefier drums flam under blissed out vocal harmonies as he strips back the arrangement and locks in the groove, firmly planting your feet on the dancefloor with an unstoppable bass guitar riff courtesy of long term bassist partner Julian Crampton.

'I Want To See You Dance’ is taken from the debut album ‘Metamorphosis’ from AC Soul Symphony. An uptempo jazz funk cut aimed straight at the dancefloor. Think Heatwave and MFSB jamming together on stage with a 20-piece orchestra soaring away behind them.

HB018: Labor of Love - Just For You

Here on Labor Of Love EP covert disco spy Labor Of Love delivers three cuts on the That's What We Doin' EP, and all of them look the American soul sounds of the glittering 1980s - "Favours" kicks things off as a slow jam with chiming keys, clavinet grooves and smooth n breezy vocals, next the title track is a faster golden boogie jam, the kind that Metro Area looked to for inspiration and lastly "Just For You" is the kind of raw bass strutter that would have set the coolest New York funk clubs alight back in the day.

Funkin' for Jamaica(Lasso D'Amore Edit)

This song has been a very big New York Dance Classic. It was given a fresh run in 92 as borrowed by Ashley Beedle's Black Science Orchestra alias ("Where were you") And again in 94, Kenny Dope sampled it in the B-Side of the original Bucketheads 12" single ("I wanna know"). Yes the one that had "The Bomb" on the other side. Obviously the huge success of "The Bomb" eclipsed it, and it was withdrawn from subsequent pressings. This song was also remixed on a scarce bootleg release a few years back which was rumoured to be the work of Joe Claussell. My version is a classic re-edit of the very original Tom Moulton full length mix from 1977

The Trammps- The Night The Lights Went Out A Dimitri From Paris Re-Edit (snippet)

Another one coming up to XMAS from our personal stash.
The intro is about 3 mins long and heavily dubbed out, pretty much a track in it's own right. Created after a 3am stint hearing Danny Krivit at the Ministry of Sound.....use wisely and wait till the dancefloor is tripping out :)
