many reggae aficionados see the concentrated phase of rock steady between 1967 - 1969 as the carribeans most productive era of all time. never before had such sweet melodies, inspiring rhythms and beautiful love lyrics come together. numerous soul hits by the likes of curtis mayfield, the impressions, the supremes all got the bass-driven, jamaican style treatment.

already my favorite jazz album of 2010 jose james - perpetual shows a different side to gideon van gelder, the pianist we already know from tracks like touch on brownswoods soul jazz conjurer jose james lp black magic, and championed by the likes of gilles peterson.

fantastic deep house mixes

the album was one of the first to reach a far different audience to the traditional >world music< market and spawned many further projects and labels in its wake. a year later, the >nigeria 70< compilation surfaced on strut and labels like soundway and analog africa would continue to unearth amazing lost gems from the motherland. the album is testament to the determined work of brooker following several research trips, especially to east africa - kenya and zaire!

nick chaconas debut album has been a long time in the coming,the distillation of a decade of recording and producing for some of the worlds leading electronic music labels.but it has certainly been worth the wait as he teams up with the highly respected moodmusic for the release of >love in the middle<, a collection of soul soaring and inspiring cuts that blur the imposed genre lines into non existence.

house music is about big names and big personalities, and none come much bigger than kenny dope gonzalez. you dont last 25 years in the industry without being short of a bit of talent, and time and time again kenny has proved that he is the man to beat. whether its his pioneering work as one half of masters at work and nuyorican soul, or his more recent endeavours with mass destruction, kennys beats take some serious beating.

like hardly any other contemporary dj, catherine britton aka cassy is living at the interfaces between reduction and soul, jazzy deep house and geometrically structured techno. and it comes as no surprise, because being the english-born daughter of a caribbean father and an austrian mother, cassy started at a very early age to develop a sense for artistic aesthetics that draws its special magic from the >in-between< especially. being resident in berlin since 2003, she quickly gained a residence at the panorama bar, worked as a producer with such renowned musicians like ricardo villalobos, luciano, mathew jonson or swayzak and releases her music on labels such as perlon, ostgutton as well as on her own imprint cassy. simply devotion, cassys 2nd mix cd after the highly acclaimed panorama bar 01 compilation is a proof of her love for deep house of a different kind, which has - despite occasional flashes of souly vocals - nothing to do with garage house and handbag factor

motorcitysoul are frankfurt veterans and deep house pioneers matthias vogt and christian rindermann (aka c-rock). a feast of lush melodies and harmonies, lovingly crafted beats and percussion, ambient excellence and smart vocal numbers. on the albums title c- rock explains: >its an elegant word that refers to the way we work and hopefully how our music sounds. were very technically focused yet we aim for our music to have genuine soul and warmth. we also do everything in the studio so technique is the key to that.< .the start/deliver me kicks off the journey into the motorcitysoul sound, enlisting the vocal talents of swedish vocalist ernesto to complement the soulful, summer-tinged house grooves. as the lush chords build and the vocals progress, its clear this uplifting opener is one thatll have you rolling down your car window with a smile on your face. >maybe its a risk to start a house based concept album with such a soulful track but we dont have to justify it, because of the soul in our name<, says c-rock wryly. >space k�tzle< was originally a hit last year on aus music, >space cats< (as it translates) sees matthias and c- rock use their studio expertise to layer together lavish arpeggios and harmonies that treat you to an almost cosmic house voyage. solar is the first >ode to the cinema soundtrack< offering on the album and sees the guys get experimental in the studio with deep trippy keys layered with mad aquatic sounds. .c
