www.yellorange.com

Sadly this music site "Yellorange" has closed...after receiving more than 5 years of my listening pleasures and treasures I realize that good times are few and far between...maybe it's because of faster times or the karmic crimes that keep such great house music and great house people from really lasting in the scene...although they lasted this long and that is an amazing accomplishment... I've only had a taste of what the world offers and I just know that there are beautiful people there who work towards a harmonic peace and a musical release...we should join forces and see if we can save the energy the scene once had...oh wait...we are on the same team already…lol

This site was the "inside" of New York and soul...the site housed such mixes by Tony Humphries, Todd Terry and Carolyn Byrd...my fav's to be honest...Tony Humphries was pivotal in my promoting days before I started djing...his "basement" love type parties had the ladies swingin' and the men beggin' for soul and looove... Be sure to grab what you can...this label I'm sure is rare and needs to be loved by the connoisseur, by the real househeads that lead with their heart...this label gives up classics like "Rescue Me", "Ups and Downs", “Believe in Yourself” and "Can't give up"...just going by the titles alone you know we are going to miss out on all the good vibes they sent out... Respect and love to this site and label for keepin it real and true! Just thought I'd give tribute to the NY house scene and I hope they are doing as well as we are in Upper Turtle Island...in fact, I'm sure the Wax Warriors will be there soon...I'm working on it...

House comes from the heart... DJ KWE

Blues in the House

	DJ Aguy My Ex Wife BlackVinyl

O “nosso” DJ Aguy está de volta na Black Vinyl, depois do unanimemente aclamado “Floating” (2003). “My Ex Wife” é um tema que, de uma forma original, traz o Blues até ao House. Dado o seu forte carácter, este não será um disco consensual. Goste-se ou não, reconheça-se que o disco está exemplarmente produzido. Ah, eu gosto muito!

	Scott Wozniak Soho Sessions Large

Scott Wozniak, originally a keyboard player, has worked alongside many different artists and labels as a proven producer writer and remix artist. Scott has recently remixed the excellent track “Studio Apartment feat. Monique Bingham – Flight” for King Street and also did a great job for them last year with the track “Blue Skies”. Scott also owns the record label "Innervibe Music" with fellow friends the well renowned duo Mateo & Matos. His latest addition “Soho Sessions” appearing on the aptly titled “Soho Sessions EP“ and the rhythm lounge album on Large, is a deep funk affair with smooth old style keys that you could imagine being laid down in a back street smoke filled jazz bar. This track is perfect lounge material filled with rhythmatic beats and emotion that I played to open my latest mix. If you like soulful Deep House then I recommend you get this.

	Blvd East feat KT Brooks It's Your Life Soulshine Records

Louis Benedetti's NY based label 'Soulshine' does it again with this soulful garage anthem from BLVD East (James Rivera & Christian Perez) featuring fantastic vocals from KT Brooks. The 12" release brings us two mixes (Original & FTL Dub) with further mixes available from Louis Benedetti himself on Soulshine.net. The 'Original mix' uses the full vocal and then some! KT's vocal flows smoothly above perfect U.S. garage beats, subtle keys with hammond flourishes highlighting the peaks. The 'FTL Dub' is aimed straight at the dancefloor where a more immediate approach is taken with smooth rhodes underpinning an altogether more bouncy hammond action with the bass higher in the mix and a killer vocal drop, this cant fail to move the floor. This is Massive!

	Andre Harris Get Down Africa Large

Large Music releases a late summer scorcher that will keep your dance floor hot for the chilly autumn weather ahead. Chicago based DJ and producer, Andre Harris, gives us 2 great mixes and a tasty dub that definitely moves and grooves.
Available as a single and on Large’s recent “Rhythm Lounge Vol. 4” release, “Get Down Africa”, the Main Mix (sample 1) puts forth a strong afro beat that keeps the power throughout the track and the House mix (sample 2) delivers a powerful deep bass vibe that is a great peak time opener.
A must have for your vinyl or CD case!!!

DeeperSoul Interview - Steal Vybe

.

.	------------------- Steal Vybe ------------------- Chris “Cee Rule” Forman Damon “Mr. Dizzy Fingers” Bennett

"Blaze & a few others are partial inspirations, so it doesn’t bother me that some of our productions are compared to Blaze, in fact it’s a compliment!"
.

PART I

.
Could you tell us how you got into producing and about your early career?
.
Well, I was deejaying in a small club in Trenton NJ in 1997 and I met a fellow dj by the name of “DJ Gusto” that was playing there as well. Gusto was telling me on how he was a producer & that he travelled to a few other countries deejaying thru the music that he made. One of his hits was “Disco’s Revenge”, this immediately caught my attention and I thought too myself “Wow! I would love to do this”, so from that moment on I ventured on my Musical Journey…
.
What’s your music background?
.
I’ve always been into music, heavily! I mean since I was about 7 years old. I play keys and have been doing so for about 8 years or so. I taught myself for a little while, until I ran into obstacles that was over my head. From there, I started taking Piano Lessons and learning thru listening to some of my greatest inspirations, like Earth, Wind & Fire, Steve Wonder, Prince, Quincy Jones and many more musicians. I got better over the years & am still learning just like most musicians, as it takes a life time to master your craft.
.
Your productions have been frequently compared to early Blaze records, do you accept this comparison?
.
Blaze & a few others are partial inspirations, so it doesn’t bother me that some of our productions are compared to Blaze, in fact it’s a compliment!
.
As many artists these days, you have your own independent record label – Steal Vybe Music. Do you have it for any special reason?
.
Our label is just to keep the real music alive! I put out what I feel, it doesn’t matter what kind of music, just as long as it’s good music.
.
What do you think of the deep/soulful house world scene at the moment and how do you think it will be in the future?
.
I don’t think enough Soulful music is getting the credit that it deserves, but I will make sure that Soulful Music is getting plenty of burn my way, it doesn’t matter what state that the music is in, just as long as there are people like us to keep it alive!

.

PART II

.

Nowadays, we see Electro and 80’s sound influencing many House productions. Do you think that, in order to move on in house music, producers have to always look back?
.
Well, the earlier dance music is the foundation, so you may see or hear a lot of productions with that essence in the music. On producers looking back, I can’t really answer that, I can only answer it from my point of view. We do what ever comes to us musically, that’s all.
.
The number of files illegally shared on the Internet don’t stop to grow. As a producer, how is this affecting you? What could be the solution?
.
If it is effecting us, I don’t know at the moment, but what ever we do I try to keep it under the wraps until it’s released! But all I can say is that all that file sharing is hurting our industry & if it continues to happen, some people may get fed up & just stop doing music. I hope it comes to an end, but we need to come to some kind of solution because again, this is killing our industry.
.
Which producing equipment are you using?
.
Damon & I both have the same base Studio set up, PC/ Analog gear. We have plenty of software, but again, we have plenty of Old School Analog equipment as well to give that warm feel to our music.
.
What is your own favourite track, the one that you guys are most proud of?
.
Love everything that we do, our music is our babies, so we have to give an equal amount of love to all the music, besides it takes a while to come up with some of these arrangements, this why we love all the music the same.
.
Steal Vybe have already worked with many artists, mainly vocalists. Though, is there any artist with who would you like to work with?
.
There is a few that we wouldn’t mind working with, but to keep things running smooth, we keep most of the music in house, not saying that we don’t work with others, I’m just saying that if we do work with others the vybe has to be right.
.
What can we expect to hear more from Steal Vybe in the future?

.
Look out starting next month, we have a wave of DOPE Music coming! So Please stay tune & we hope all will continue to enjoy our creations. Thanks for the support!!

	Shadow Kings Feat David Walker Soul Music Undo

The Shadow Kings, em conjunto com o vocalista David Walker, apresentam-nos um tema que representa bem o lado mais clássico do Souful House. Vejamos os elementos incluídos: voz emotiva, sax, piano e guitarra, sem esquecer a linha de baixo com resquícios funky. A remix de Erarnshaw, para mim a mais conseguida, contem um piano adicional e o beat mais proeminente, enquanto a remix de Native New Yorkers aposta mais na guitarra e no uso de teclas.

The Shadow Kings (with David Walker on vocals) show us some classic Soulful sounds. Emotional vocal performance, sax, piano, guitar and a funky bassline are the elements on this record.

Party review

	"Little" Louie Vega & Mr V 6º Parágrafo, Marina de Albufeira reviewed by Mark O

English version here

Cheguei ao 6º Parágrafo, um novo bar/club, situado na marina de Albufeira, por volta das 2:20 da manhã. O "6º Parágrafo" apresenta uma boa decoração, com extremo bom gosto e pormenores deliciosos. Destaco um grande aquário-parede em plena pista de dança, que confere uma atmosfera especial ao local. O preço do bilhete eram 15eur (sem consumo), normal numa festa deste género, mas que pode ter afastado algum público, pois o club encontrava-se talvez a metade da lotação, mas com grande ambiente entre os presentes.

Em relação à música. Mr V estava a finalizar o seu set, um deep-house cheio de percurssão que contagiava os presentes, preparando a sala para o que estava para vir.
Louie Vega iniciou o seu set com o Beat de Sara Devine - "Special"(MAW) deixando antever o ritmo que iria ter todo o set. Numa onda bastante percurssiva, latina e melódica, ao estilo MAW, Louie Vega construiu uma viagem sonora, Sim, digo construiu porque praticamente todas as faixas foram editadas ao vivo por Vega, quase num live-act. Mas eis que surge uma surpresa! Mr V agarra no Microfone e salta para uma plataforma(colunas) em frente á cabine e cria o delírio entre os presentes, vocalizando ao vivo os "seus" "Let's Get Jazzy" e "Give Me something With Jazz". Pôs todos os presentes de braços no ar a gritar - "It's time to get jazzy.... It's time to get jazzy...." sendo impossível ficar indiferente.

Finalizado o tema "Give Me Something With Jazz", Mr V despediu-se e solicitou um aplauso para "Mr. Louie Vega" a que o público respondeu com mais braços no ar e assobios (note-se assobios positivos). Ao longo do seu set, o membro dos MAW ia adicionando Acapellas, beats, efeitos, tudo numa amálgama sonora de belo efeito a que ninguém conseguiu ficar indiferente.
Como mais um ponto alto destaco o live edit que Vega fez de MAW - "Work", se bem que se torna mais fácil quando se tem todos os samples ;) . Levou, deste modo, a pista ao rubro, colocando o seu set a partir daí numa toada mais forte, até ao fim. O tema "Insomnia" do trio luso-francês Rodamaal - , produzida por Alex S, Manoo e Rocco, foi uma das que se ouviu nesta fase, acompanhada de um sample de percurssão que Louie Vega adicionou a partir do meio da faixa, com extremo bom gosto.
Com uma técnica irrepreensível, é espantosa a facilidade com que Louie Vega mistura, adiciona, retira, brinca, com 2, 3 ou mesmo 4 faixas (ou sons (acapelas etc)) diferentes.

No final abranda um pouco para dar espaço a Mr V para finalizar a noite, isto já eram 5 da manhã. Mr V entrou deep, muito deep, com uma faixa com um baixo poderosíssimo, um rhodes e uma concertina!!!, uma faixa pareceu-me original dele mesmo, conduzindo os presentes, que ainda eram praticamente os mesmo do início da noite, num final de noite extremamente melódico e deep. Como curiosidade destaco o facto de Dj Chus (Stereo Productions) ter estado presente, e a partir de determinada altura não ter "aguentado" mais e ter ido para a pista juntar-se à multidão na dança. Esta festa teve início às 4 da tarde e tocaram também os seguintes djs: Nanni, Zé Black, China, Zélito e King Kizz.

Mais festas assim, precisam-se em Portugal. "This Is True House Music"

Blaze

.

	Josh Milan, Kevin Hedge and Chris Herbert started writing music together in 1984. Kevin and Chris were childhood friends and Josh was a member of the church Chris attended. Chris was a vocalist who wanted to record, Josh was a natural musician who played with the church choir, and Kevin was a DJ who spun locally at parties around their native Newark, New Jersey. The three decided to form a production team after Chris introduced Josh and Kevin and encouraged them to become a recording group.

The trio started to develop demo recordings in the style of the day’s popular club music. With "DJ" Kevin at the controls, Josh "the piano man" on the synthesizer and the "lead vocal" stylings of Chris, they turned out song after song for other artists and producers to record. The three ultimately signed their first record deal with the newly formed Quark records in 1985, producing three major club hits of the time; "Whatcha Gonna Do", "If You Should Need A Friend" and "Can't Win For Losing". The Blaze sound caught the ear of then Motown Vice-president of A&R, Timmy Regisford, who immediately put them to work on numerous Motown projects. After many remixes and session work, Regisford decided it was time to take it to the next level. He invited Kevin, Chris and Josh to record a full length album for the soul music icon, Motown. “25 Years Later", Blazes' first long player, was critically acclaimed upon its' initial release in 1991 and has since went on to become one of house music’s classic albums.
.

Hedge and Milan went on to produce three more albums under the Blaze banner: "Basic Blaze" on Slip-n-Slide/UK, "Natural Blaze: The James Toney Jr. Project" on Life Line/Japan and "Spiritually Speaking" on Slip-n-Slide/UK. Also, you will find many compilation albums that comprise some of Blazes' greatest hits, a few are: "6 Hubert St." on Avex/Japan, "Pure Blaze" on Easy Street/US, "Blaze Productions" on Playhouse/Germany and "Spiritually Speaking…Then and Now" on West End/US. In 1995, Blaze scored their biggest writing success with a song called "Hideaway" performed by De'lacy. The song reached the top ten on the UK charts and was added to a vast array of compilations, racking up sales in the millions. Josh and Kevin also penned charts hits for Amira "Desire" and themselves with the #1 dance hit, "Breathe". This helped to maintain the duo to become one of the most sought after writing, production and remix teams in the business.

	After touring with bands and playing at such incredible venues and cities as Wimbley Arena, most of the Carribean islands and major cities in the U.S. Following their tour, Blaze returned home to start businesses that included real estate, car services, retail stores and night clubs (Kevin and Josh co-owned and promoted the Club Shelter in NYC). During this time, Chris decided to continue his career in the now popular hip-hop/R&B music genre, leaving Josh and Kevin to further their careers by writing and producing for other artists and vocalists.

Guest Review (Colin Sales)

	Martin Solveig has been in the business for years, but exploded onto the scene last year with the almighty "Rocking Music" - one of the tunes of the year! Now he is back with a brand new album, Hedonist.

Hedonist begins with the familiar sound of Everybody. We should all know this by now, wicked guitar, wicked vocal, wicked beats. It is the remainder of the album that is the centre of everyones attention.

Something Better is a crisp, fast paced piece of house music. Jackson-esque vocals, dirty riff and beautiful guitar make this one of the stand out tracks on the album. Great keys as well, perhaps could be likened to some of Peyton's productions - which is always good!
.
If You Tell Me More, brings the first smooth slice of RnB to the album. Although im not a great fan of the genre I have learned to appreciate it much more particularly after listening to the tracks on Hedonism. This is a really great production that will contribute to the albums summer feel. You will listen to this by the pool!
.
Black Voices, for me is the kind of track you will hear in a bar late afternoon. Nice broken beat, beautiful female vocal and amazing percussion going on here (emphasis on the bongos!).
.
Rejection next. This has a cute riff with some guitar and some Daft Punk-style drums with a great bass section. Jackson-type vocals keep this one going.
.
Blind Rendezvous is all about Martin in a restaurant, a nice intro to the next track...
.
Dry is one of the best tracks on the album. One of the most beautiful pieces of RnB I’ve ever heard. Really nice keys, crisp & skippy beats. Truly amazing male & female vocals, I'm particularly loving the female vocal. Very smooth, very catchy, very summery - makes you smile!! This IS home/lounge/poolside listening at its absolute best. You will be humming this all summer long!
.
Something About You brings back the mid-tempo grooves with uplifting keys, bright, cheery vocals and very nice chorus section. Moves along very nicely and ends with a gorgeous piano line!
.
Jealousy is THE track of the album. Amazing guitars, uplifting bass, James Brown style vocal, quality backing/chorus vocals - nice and catchy. Great breakdown too - You'll be singing "aaaaaaaaaaah - Jealousy!" all summer long!
.
Requiem Pour Un Con is a french spoken broken beat affair with nice bass and organ in there too.
.
Now onto the final track, Don't Waste Another Day - the last slice of smooth RnB on the album. Beautiful Jackson-esque vocal - beautiful keys, bass. Nice and slow - more great poolside listening.
.
All in all, one of the best artist albums I’ve heard in a long time. Some amazing standout tracks - plus other great songs to keep your attention - this is absolutely essential! 9.5/10

Soulswitch – Believe In Yourself (N-U Dub) [Yellorange, 1999]
.
By far my most favourite track right now is “Believe In Yourself” by Soulswitch. OMG I am so pumped listening to this track. It’s the very warehouse feel I keep referring to in my reviews. This track will be with me forever until the day I die. It’s purely inspirational and taps into any persons hope and dreams with music. ”Don’t ever give up” is just one of the messages that the tune repeats with its old piano styles and a vocal that gives me goose bumps. Trust me you have to get your hands on this Yellow Orange double pack, yellow vinyl special edition that would make your heart swell and soul soar. I can’t decide whether it’s the actual words that intrigue me the most or if it’s the on par production that makes me want to sing. Although I do spoken word for tracks already, this is the type of quality I strive for when it comes to making music.

I bring this to your attention because of my message to each and everyone of you. ”Believe In Yourself” and keep the spirit of house alive and well. Invest your time and pick up these gems, they will truly change your life. I’ve only reviewed my favourite dub mix of “Believe In Yourself” but there are 4 heavy duty, garage lovin', soul slappin' lovely tracks that would fill any dance floor from front to back. I’m happy to share the love and passion for music because it’s all about appreciating our life in harmony.

Time For Peace

.

	Milesart Orchestra Time for Peace Delecto

Este é um bom disco para a corrente estação que nos chega da Delecto (Canadá). A “main musical mix”, da responsabilidade do DJ/Produtor Joan Riba, tem belas guitarras (por manu Diaz), teclas jazzy (por Thomas Szazs) e um piano a acompanhar o relaxante spoken word. A remix de Gilbert Le Funk acrescenta uma muito agradável flauta e um sax ao original, enquanto Mod dá um toque mais orelhudo ao tema. O verão mora aqui...

-------------

Good record from Delecto, label from Canada. The “main musical mix”, from the DJ/Producer Joan Riba, has a smooth male spoken word together with a wonderful guitar and bass by Manu Diaz, cool jazzy keys by Thomas Szazs and a great piano line. Gilbert Le Funk adds a beautiful flute and sax, while MoD gives a catchy touch to the original. Summer is here...

Guest Review (Franco Martinelli)

	Rhythm Slaves You will come round Diaspora

What a beautiful record is this new release of Rhythm Slaves on Diaspora Records. "You will come around" is provided in four mixes, the "Original mix" (sample 1) is a dancefloor-soul version with soulid beats, live instrumentation and a great vocal performance in a Earth Wind & Fire classic style. Kid Massive delivers a solid building dub with gorgeus keys and piano (sample 2), while the "Sweet Abraham's vocal dub" (sample 3) is a peaktime bomb, with a pumpin' bassline and lot of energy. The 4th track on the vinyl is a fresh and latin "Summer Bossa Groove mix" (sample 4).
