If I had to come up with a label / artist dream team, @LocalTalk and @Opolopo would definitely be high up there. Both are renowned for releasing scintillating underground house and disco, music which tugs on the heart strings as much as it moves the dancefloor. Their next release is the Opolopo Tweaks album where Opolopo has reworked some of Local Talk's finest moments alongside a few of the labels deeper gems putting his golden production touch on them.

Our premier today sees Opolopo take on what was undoubtedly one of the finest moments of late 2020 early 2021 in the shape of Soul Renegades stunning 'Speak To Me'. The result is pretty spectacular building on the deep hypnotic groove of the original with all the brilliance of Opolopo's incredible drum programming and extra added keys. Check it out here and jump over to LV online for more on the release via: https://levisiteuronline.com/music/lv-premier-soul-renegades-speak-to-me-opolopo-tweak-local-talk/

AirBorn Gav and Hurricane's 2022 release on The Remedy Project 'Work' demonstrated the duo's electric chemistry as they expertly fused rap, house and R&B. Now genre-splicing producer Atjazz remixes the velvety track, infusing it with a laid-back sensibility that is hard to resist. With his label debut for The Remedy Project, the prolific remixer and Atjazz Record Company boss continues his commitment to releasing expertly produced music with a distinct point of view, as AirBorn Gav's buttery smooth vocal musings dance over a rhythmic accompaniment blending a myriad of eclectic sources into one defining house remix.

French producer Timothee Milton debuts on Local Talk with an EP that fumes of soulfulness in every direction. Written by Angela Johnson, the original is a big vocal deep house jam that got some hints of the 90s Jersey sound..but not too retro ;)

The Art Of Tones remix is equally strong but goes for a more uplifting approach and where the funk, boogie and soul is the center of attention. Big, but not pumpin', it's bumpin'

The Blak Beatniks - The Right Place

Since the dawn of the 1990s, Windy City collective The Blak Beatniks has been representing the more soulful side of the Chicago house spectrum. Now the Big Ed-fronted outfit is making its first appearance on Good Vibrations Music via the smiling musical positivity of 'The Right Place'.

Over the last three decades, Harold 'Big Ed' Matthews and his Blak Beatniks collective have released celebrated singles on a wide variety of notable record labels, including Large Music, Clubhouse Records, PAN, Vibe Music and his own Melodious Recordings imprint.

'The Right Place' sees the long-serving songwriter, vocalist and producer hook up with producer Sean McCabe, who first worked with Big Ed on the 2007 BBN single, 'Free To Be Free'. The Transatlantic duo have collaborated on numerous occasions since, with Big Ed appearing a number of times on McCabe's Z Records-released 2014 debut album 'It's Time'.

In its' 'Main Vocal Mix' form, 'The Right Place' is a wonderfully breezy and rolling chunk of soulful house. The lead singer Tori Blak, provides a sumptuous rendition of Big Ed's positive, life-affirming lyrics over a backing track rich in addictive electric piano riffs and chunky, New Jersey-influenced drums.

McCabe emphasizes his own warm, analogue-sounding synth bassline on the accompanying Deepa Vocal, adding dreamy pads and a shuffling drum track that offers subtle nods towards Latin rhythms whilst sustaining the four-to-the-floor bump of classic house. There's also a seductive, slowly building Deepa Reprise version and a chunky, spacey and groovy revision from Mathews and McCabe under their alternative aliases. One of the highlights of a strong package, the Aitch Em & Mackabee Dub sounds like it was tailor made for early morning dancefloors.

The expansive package also includes alternate instrumental versions of each of the mixes. It all adds up to a particularly memorable outing from one of Chicago house's most distinctive musical voices.

Dean Zepherin - Flying High

Electronic music has always been filled with innovative individuals, but even among such company, Dean Zepherin is a producer who has managed to find his lane and appeal.  Born and raised in London, a suitably eclectic city for a man of his musical persuasion he is renowned for his consistently genre-pushing productions, having also spent time in Berlin, it became another city that’s left its mark on his always-captivating sound.
To fully appreciate and understand Zepherin’s approach, it’s necessary to go back to his roots in Harrow, London as it was here where he first encountered soul, funk and jazz fusion records. From an early age he was obsessed with these out-there sounds, as well as their ability to metaphorically transport him to a world far away from the confines of his hometown.
Adopting a more electronic-based sound later on, he soon became a natural at conjuring up “house” tunes with more than a hint of soul, the likes of which spoke to his own Caribbean roots. In the process, Zepherin describes his own raison d’etre with concise charm as ‘championing the emergence of indigenous influence in electronic music’, something now so endemic to much of the most in-vogue house productions, displaying a worldview that values above all the organic and the human in this machine. 
While he’s undoubtedly best known for his work over the past nine years, establishing Tribe as one of the world’s leading labels pushing the afro and soulful envelope, his own legacy goes way back to 1988 when he released ‘Give me back your Love’ under the pseudonym Boyz in Shock, credited as the UK’s first soulful house record.
His label Tribe remains a vehicle for his many solo productions and collaborations and has hosted works and remixes from a diverse range of artists and legends across the electronic music board, as well as hosting his esteemed works with labels Defected, Suol, No Fuss, Soul 2 Soul, Vega records and Jack Trax. 
Zepherin’s productions deliver impeccable slices of soulful and afro sounds fused in a futuristic musicality in which he emphasises the tension that soul music can have, rather than the release. His tracks and particularly his dubs under his moniker Zepherin Saint, are often full of suspense and atmosphere – check his ‘Take You There’ on Suol, or his ‘Skyy and Butterflies Dubs’ released on his own imprint.
Equally respected as a DJ as he is a producer, Zepherin gained his schooling playing the London sound system circuit in the 80’s and managing the legendary Black Market record store in the 90’s.  His unique talents of playing dance music with no boundaries have been sought after in the likes of Japan, Africa, North America, Indonesia, Canada, Europe Australia and the Middle East, while on a club level he’s left his mark at world renowned clubs like Contact, Tresor, Watergate, Cielo, Stereo, Djoon, Ministry of Sound and Pacha. 
A man of many considerable sounds and styles, it’s hardly surprising that Dean Zepherin’s colourful and diverse approach continues to enthral clubbers and electronic music connoisseurs across the world.
