Make It Better

Soulmagic & Ebony Soul Ft. Ann Nesby - Get Your Thing Together

Oh my love for classic soulful house knows no limits and this track makes that love blossom. Inspirational vocals, funk, soul, and percussion. Can I get an Amen! The only trouble is, I can't decide which version I like best. The divine Mr. Jamie Lewis gives us a deeper darker version while the Soulmagic dub delivers a crisper heavy on the funk version. As Prince recently said "get your foot spray, cause it's getting funky in here".

Come On Do It

Nightrhymes Ft. Tasita D'mour - Keep On Pushing

Great vocal house! The original lends itself to mainstream soul/beach house sound. Then there is the Aaron Ross Vocal with it's deep bass and darker nature. Both versions are really good but I have to give the props to Ross. A real stand out in terms of proper deep/soul house.

Don't Play

Held & Esposito Ft Sybille - Warning You (Aston Martinez Mix)

Proper-soul organ filled deep vocal house with a just a touch of tech essence.

Got To Stop

Syke 'N' Sugarstarr - I Don't Know (Syke 'N' Sugarstarr Main Mix)

Well floor shakers what can I say? Another post in the proper vein. It's just where I'm finding the beats that move me at the moment. Maybe all my tribal producers are on hiatus?

So this track is a return of sorts for S'N'S. After several productions in the tech genre, they now give us a great vocorder sample, a big room bass loop, and sassy vocals. Although the track is not dark per say, it lends it's self to that feel. The tech influence is still there but the structure of the song is more proper. It's actually a great combination of multiple genres.

The Lyrical Jessie James

Beaten Soul & Keith Thompson - Change (Souldynamic Saxstrong Mix)

Spoken word over deep deep soul filled house highlighted with sax stabs and riffs.

Let There Be House!

Sandy Rivera - Dirty Sax (Original Mix)

Step back... cause this shit is Grade A, white hot, house music baby! No vocals, Sandy lets the sax do all the talking. Deep proper house at it's best. I'm in love! If you don't like or "get it", sorry bout your bad luck. My heart goes out to you and you'll be in my prayers.

Here We Go

Chris Special - Lose It (Original)

A nice tech oriented deep house track with some wicked horn action. It lends itself to the dark side and everyone knows the vocal sample.

Get Addicted!

Stuttering Munx & Groove Junkies Ft. Indeya - Addicted to the Rise (Mo' Hump Mix)

Superb House! "Music is the universal language that lifts me" I am nothing if not addicted to the drum and bass lines of this track. Now don't get confused, it's NOT Drum & Bass this is house with the slightest deep essence. Excellent intro, nice build, good break, and subtle punch. Top notch production.

It's a Spiritual Thing

Roby Mannarini - I Got Love (Michele Lodia Mix)

Deep Gospel House! If you like it deep, if you like it spiritual, and you feel house then you need to grab this one CODE RED. Male vocals testify, while a female vocal sample adds sexy intrigue. Super trippy and excellent horn sample!

Can You Feel The Rhythm

Tribal Kings - To The Beat (Syke 'N' Sugarstarr Mix)

Some where between deep house & tribal lies this track. Tribal drum, funky horn or is it oboe stabs, and delicious vocals come together as one and deliver a very versatile track.

California Soul

Melvin Reese Ft. Sunnery James & Ryan Marciano - Lift U Up (Hardsoul vs. Born2Funk Re-Edit)

Deep soulful piano house. It's tracks like this that really make miss living on the west coast and getting to hear DJs like David Harness play for some of the most diverse crowds of people I have ever seen under one roof.

SCAT

Uptown Funk Empire - You've Got to Have Freedom (Patchworks Remix)

Get your mind out of the gutter! We are taking about the classic jazz imrov vocal style which is what makes this track so fine.

Just Jazz

Amir - Jazz Loops (Original Mix)

Smooth, deep house, with big time jazz loops. Surprised? Good stuff. Amir serves it chilled and garnishes with vibe.

In The Deep End

Lewis Ferrier Ft. Mavis Acquah - Love Is On The Way (Dutchican Soul Deeper Dub)

A sensational, sexy, vocal house dub with big time jazz and soul influence. I have discussed this sort of track before. You will only hear this kind of track at the hippest of underground venues, as to appreciate this is to be educated about the heritage of all house music or perhaps even music in general. Sadly in world of mass consumption great stuff like this gets pushed to the side. If Brittany, Cher, and Hannah Montana are your thing you will probably want to pass on this one.

However, if you have ever found yourself cleaning house on a lazy Sunday afternoon with the likes of Miles Davis, Billie Holiday, or Charlie Bird Parker playing in the background, then you just found a 2009 sound of that same nature.

In DEEP

Saeed Younan - Sax Move

If you are a Floor Shaker follower it has, by now, become apparent that I have a thing for Drums, Horns and SAX. Mr. Younan delivers a deep oriented, versatile, instrumental track that can be laid down in almost any set. I can assure you this is entering my deep soulful house sets CODE RED.

Let Me See Your Beauty

Misstress Barbara - Dance Me To the End of Love (Original Mix)

A very dark brooding electronic cover of the Leonard Cohen classic. The vocals are superb. The track can fit into many different set genres; deep, tech, add some drums and even tribal. This one is highly recommended.

Makes Me Feel I'm In Heaven

Jjah V.S. Ron Carroll - Dancin' With You

This track has so many good remixes that I couldn't decide which to post. So I give you three.

(Hardsoul Classic Mix) = Just what the remix title promises. Organ, sassy classic percussion, and superb vocal dubs give you a delicious disco sound.


(Soul Conspiracy Remix) = Darker bass line with classic house piano, rendering it a more funky version.


(Dave Mayer Remix) = Even darker and more dubbed down than any of the other mixes with a faster bmp this version is more spacey and would fit nicely between two, or over one bang'n tribal track. This is the late night night version.



Also of note, is the (Dutchican Soul Remix) with a nice little tease of sax loop and well, who doesn't like a little tease once in while?

Sommerville Strikes Again!

Mastiksoul, Nick & Danny Chatelain - Land of Spirits (Original)

A Tech, Tribal, Progressive, and House "Clash of the Titans". This is a DJ's, DJ track.

Deep Into Your Soul

Grantorino Ft. Sharon - What You Won't Do (Mr. Fuzz Deepness Mix)

Uber deep soulful house. This track is fierce on a level most "electronic music fans" sadly never reach. One thing I really appreciate about this version is that if it were not for the title you would never know it was the same track as below. In my humble opinion that is part of what "remixing" is about. Taking something and making it something else. Dare I say "Impressive Instant"


Grantorino Ft. Sharon - What You Won't Do (Spiritual Blessings Funky Donkey Remix)

Well, first of all what's not to like about Funky Donkeys? This version is more funk & groove. Deep house female vocal track.
