the best r&b songwriter and soul singer that most people have never heard of, sam dees has written songs for countless artists, including gladys knight, aretha franklin, whitney houston, george benson, the temptations, teddy pendergrass, millie jackson, jackie wilson, the manhattans, regina belle, kc & the sunshine band, willie clayton, and many others. he’s also a pretty fine singer, having recorded for the chess, atlantic, polydor, and sss labels, and he had a nice string of his own hits in the 1970s.
his 1975 atlantic album “the show must go on” has long been regarded by southern soul aficionados as one of the best of the genre. sounding a bit like a deeper-voiced curtis mayfield (in both style and theme), dees sings with assurance, wisdom, passion, and a whole lot of soul here. songs like “child of the streets”, “troubled child”, & “what’s it gonna be”, share mayfield’s commitment to social commentary, and dees knows his way around a love song, too.

john morales geht dahin, wo noch kein dj war. das universalgenie aus der bronx, das in diesem sommer resident dj bei defecteds glitterbox-event auf ibiza war und aktuell in londons angesagtem bussey building auflegt, veröffentlicht ein abendfüllendes programm. er präsentiert unveröffentlichte mixe mit klassikern von weltstarts wie donna summer, barry white, diana ross, level 42, cher, teddy pendergrass, eddie kendricks und vielen anderen. satte vier cds oder zwei separat erhältliche doppel-lps ist diese einmalige zusammenstellung lang. john morales legt seit mehr als drei jahrzehnten auf und hat in dieser zeit über 800 remixe produziert. der vierte teil seiner -m+m mixes- ist zweifelsohne sein bislang ehrgeizigstes projekt. 32 stücke hat er seiner komplexen und unverkennbaren behandlung unterzogen und sie so noch einmal neu erfunden. dafür bekam er, was kaum einem dj gelang: man gewährte ihm zugang zu den original-mehrspuraufnahmen aus den archiven. wenn boiler room ihn als einen -der besten produzenten und arrangeure von disco-musik- beschreibt, ist das eher noch untertrieben. keiner mixt wie john morales.

repress - the original process of re-mixing records was intended to provide an alternative listening experience which had been optimized for people who went out to dance at discos. john was one of the early pioneers who loved music, understood his craft and had respect for the creative work from which his mixes were derived.

repress! this compilation is his second for bbe. few can match john morales contribution to the world of the enthusiast turned remixer come producer. john morales is considered one of true legends of the mix. and his work some thirty years later continues to be cutting wedge and inspiring. although familiar with john s work - his epic mix of universal robot bands boogie anthem is the source from which bbe records got its name - no attempt had been made to summarise the pinnacle of john s work. this second release is continued history lesson in dance music. he formed with the late sergio munzibai, m+m productions whose output of over 650 mixes will be unmatched by many celebrity big name remixers of today.

insurgently crossing philly soul, cape jazz and bump jive in 1976, the same year as the soweto uprising, poignantly shot through with timmy thomas’ why can’t we live together.
“it was so important for us to play a kind of crossover then, to weave in touches of motown, philadelphia soul and teddy pendergrass that the coloured community appreciated, and basil’s cape town sound, and sipho’s sound that was legendary in the black community, and make music that people could all enjoy together... the regime divided us: people classified coloured had identity documents, black people had the dompas. we didn’t accept that separation. sipho, although he was born in kzn, could play any feel. sometime he’d joke, does my bass line feel coloured enough?”
another landmark matsuli. the title track is killer.

tyree coopers all you need is house ep is a proud celebration of the genre, done chicago style and rammed home by marco’s wailing vocals. through solid drums and strong vocal hooks, coopers original beats down hard justifying the need for a 180g pressing. it rattles and hums until dropping into a tom-drum and snare solo similar to runaways *brooklyn club jam*. bobby starrs mix brings marcos teddy pendergrass-sung vocals to the fore, while milty evans gets a little techier with a cut up approach, adding white noise flashes and lots of filterwerk. cooper second take comes via a classic dub which draws a link between squelchy baile funk and a masters at work drum track.

following on from the massively popular philadelphia international: the re-edits package, here is the 2nd release in our special philly 40 campaign which is celebrating the 40th anniversary of philadelphia international records. welcome to the hugely anticipated philadelphia international classics: the tom moulton remixes.

ashford & simpsons return to europe for the first time in 20 years is celebrated with the release of this 16 classic song compilation on limited edition double album. nicholas ashford & valerie simpson are soul icons responsible for gold and platinum hits through the 60s, 70s and 80s for such artists as marvin gaye, chaka khan, diana ross and gladys knight (their solo hits include >solid<). this is the first time many of these have been assembled on one collection, but expansion have gone one step further by combining the hits with seminal disco records like >over & over< (sylvester), the two-step anthem >keep away girls< (stephanie mills), the awesome >california soul< (by marlena shaw, as utilized by kfc), the modern soul smash >top of the stairs< (collins & collins) and an exclusive remix of >aint no mountain high enough< (marvin gaye/tammi terrell).

there are few labels who will get the opportunity to work extensively with the most dynamic remixers, dj s and producers of this decade. bbe seems to keep coming up trumps. grammy award winner louie vega has been on top of the dj game for over 2 decades. he gained further notoriety as part of the collective known as ‘masters at work’ with kenny gonzalez form a formidable partnership reminiscent of the greatest producers of yesteryear. quincy did it with chaka khan, james ingram, al jarreau and the brothers johnson, while gamble and huff did it with archie bell and the drells, harold melvin and the bluenotes, teddy pendergrass and mfsb.
