love makes the world go around. ÒtwoÓ, the second album by the soul session, is full of love. ralph kiefer, multi-instrumentalist, composer, arranger and producer from south germany embarks on a stylistically diverse journey into soul, jazz, funk and world music. being a highly respected session musician in the jazz as well as the crossover scene, kiefer made a serious impact in 2011 with ÒoneÓ, the first soul session album. ÒoneÓ was built on a solid backbeat of soul, hip hop and funk, while ÒtwoÓ now takes a step further into a spiritual and eclectic dimension. ÒquantraversaÓ featuring the voice of las vegas based neo-soul queen georgia anne muldrow is the mind- blowing opener of this album, a truly deep and intense rhythmic statement. quantraversa is a word which you will not find in any dictionary, but that is not the point, says ralph kiefer. Òthis album is a journey to the inner self. the recording process was like meditation. i often started with a loop, or an idea for a melody. it evolved from there and i simply let it happen. when i involved the lyricists and vocalists, my drafts sometimes took a completely different paths and ended in something unexpected and beautifully new.Ó

trelik returns with a repackaged edition of one of the catalogues most treasured releases. overcome and lady science (nyc sunrise) need little introduction, and now come sporting the new tr11:11 matrix number. written and produced by thomas melchior and baby ford aka soul capsule. these tracks came from one of the many sessions recorded at the west london ifach studio in 1999. on the a side overcome is stripped back and energetic, driven by rolling and shuffling garage style beats, tight bubbling bass and atmospheric synth pads. the intermittent vocal samples and the release s signature organ set you up for the flip, lady science (nyc sunrise) . possibly one of house music s most emotive pieces, the track builds slowly with the introduction of each part building a story of soulful optimism based around a sparse palette of deep synths, uplifting keys and warm analogue bass. the understated beauty of the main vocal riff never seems to grow old or tired with the track lending itself perfectly to either main room, peak-time play or after-hours sessions alike. remastered by rashad at d & m
