Ann Nesby Love Is What We Need (2001)

Bought this on the German label Peppermint Jam label back in 2001. This features Sounds Of Blackness' vocalist Ann Nesby, a top class gospel diva! Love this tune..memories of the vinyl days..

'love is what we need, seven days a week'

DJ Gregory - Elle (Criola remix) (2003)

Another from the archives, DJ Gregory's 'Elle' the Criola Remix. Loved this as it kicked off one of my favourite house mixes of all time; the Hed Kandi World Series Beach House Mix back in 2003. Quality percussion...

Soldiers Of Twilight Believe (2001)

A truly amazing record. For me, one of the finest house tracks ever created. 8 years old now and still sounds as fresh as the day I heard it. Stone Cold Classic.

Bobby D'ambrosio Featuring Michelle Weeks Moment Of My Life (1997)

This one brings back some memories and sounds just as good then as it does now! Michelle Weeks with another stunning vocal performance from 1997. Need a few more classics on here, I like the old with the new. Soulful house music has been around a long time now..In fact, good house music has always been soulful...This tune's a killer..Big shout out to Michelle on this one!

'This is the day, this is the day, this is the day, this is the day'

Sandy Rivera feat Haze Changes (2003)

Even before the term soulful house music
was coined, producers like Sandy Rivera, amongst many others of course, were producing gems like this. Listen again and you'll see what I mean! Lovely sounds alongside nice subtle heartfelt vocals.

The Braxtons The Boss (Masters At Work Album Mix) 1996

Absolutely love this! Came out on the Atlantic label in 1996, think mine was a doublepack. Listening to this wonderful Masters At Work remix today this has to be amongst the best pieces of vinyl that I own. I wish all house tunes sounded as good as this one, this makes for a very happy club! Only problem is...what to follow it with..Anyway..soulful house ,funky house, call it what you want but it is super super dope and one of Masters At Work's finest hours.

Blue Six Music & Wine (Naked Music) 1999

First heard this on the Hed Kandi World Series Mixes in 2003, been hooked ever since, not only on this record but on that mix as well. Hed Kandi's finest hour without doubt. It also helped that I heard this mix in full whilst lying by a pool in Ibiza with some good friends. This is an awesome tune, can't believe it's 10 years old..

Rhianna Word Love (Jay's Extended Mix) (Sony SohoSquare) 2002

Top drawer soulful house sounds from 2002. The real sh*t. Can't get enough of this.

Mustafa I Submit To You (Subliminal Soul) 2001

When the funky house scene was dying off Subliminal started the Subliminal Soul label - as far as I know. This was in the vinyl days..ah the memories...anyway, they put out this wicked release from Mustafa. According to Discogs the vocalist is Natalia Kissoon . And what a vocalist this lady is. She effortlessly takes us through this track which samples Shalamar's fantastic 'Take That To The Bank' I'm an avid old school hip hop fan, I've heard thousands of samples but the way she lays vocals over this puts this in the top 10 for me. Truly does the original justice. This is just baaaaad..
