Kaid

Exotic Soul

Curtis Kennard Kincaid

Kaid is back and better than ever in this album sequel which is sure to please! He takes the listener on a journey of romance and passion, and if you like guitar, this is a must have CD! From beginning to end, all 10 songs tell a story and If you make the mistake of skipping through the CD, you will lose the whole concept, as the listener is treated to a pot of delights. I honestly can’t tell you which song is my favorite, because every song is a jewel!
.
I was able to talk with Kaid briefly about his plans in the future, and simply put, Kaid says, it is “All about the band”. Performing is what he loves and what sets him apart. He is very humble and stresses that without other people surrounding him he would not have been able to grow as an artist. While shut out from the large chain stores that sell music, Kaid is not discouraged. His listening base continues to be those people who are tired of everyday radio music and want to hear something from the heart. I listened to Kaid live in concert and it is a thing of beauty! I have rarely seen an artist provoke a crowd to applause and even tears as he does. He leaves the stage and mingles with the audience, a true artist and performer that is making waves throughout the world!

Bioground

Love Addiction

Plastic City

One surprise that came to me this summer and stays with me in the autumn (and certainly in the winter): “We Are House”, album by Bioground released on Plastic City. Bioground is a project from the Portuguese Luís Novo that shows us an album full of deep rhythms, soulful voices and love. As he says, “all our life is love, that’s what makes us live”. So it’s natural that in “We Are House” Bioground offers us some love histories (good or painful ones) or even sexy and luxurious songs, everything with hypnotizing deep (and tech-house) rhythms, atmospheric elements and great soulful vocals by Jon Silva (from Soda Inc.), Joee, Chelonis R. Jones (from the Germany label Get Physical), Alexandra Hamnede and Karlyn (DJ from San Francisco, known as DJ LadyHouse). This is, certainly, one big show (10/10) of the deep house made in Portugal.

Reviewed by DJ Deev

Uma das surpresas que me chegou este Verão, e que me continua a acompanhar no Outono (e certamente pelo Inverno) veio de Faro via Alemanha: o álbum “We Are House”, o álbum de Bioground com edição pela Plastic City.
Bioground é o projecto do português Luís Novo, que se apresenta num álbum repleto de ritmos deep, vozes soul e amor… Como o próprio diz “toda a nossa vida é amor e isso que nos faz viver”, por isso não é de estranhar que em “We Are House”, Bioground nos conte historias de amor, sejam elas boas, dolorosas, ou mesmo repletas de sexo e luxúria. Tudo envolvido em ritmos hipnotizantes deep house (e também tech house), elementos atmosféricos luxuriantes e grandes as vozes de cariz soul de Jon Silva (dos Soda Inc.), Joee, Chelonis R. Jones ( da etiqueta alemã Get Physical e a quem chamam o novo Prince), Alexandra Hamnede e Karlyn (uma das mais conhecidas dj´s de San Francisco, conhecida por DJ LadyHouse).
Esta é, certamente, uma grande representação, de nota 10/10, do deep house feito no nosso país.

Jihad Muhammad

Hello, all you great and wonderful listeners, DJ's, producers and house enthusiasts. It's been a while since I last posted because I too have been working on some soulful House music of my own to keep the vibe alive and striving. I'm glad to see lots of you were able to download my mix for Deeper Soul Sessions as it was my honour to add to the talented roster of big names that already exist. Thanks to everyone who was able to use my voice for thier tracks and mixes. If I can make your song or mix unique by giving it that personal touch then don't be afraid to say HI and tell me what makes you special in music.

.
Lastly, special sweet shoutouts to Rogério, he has made one of the best networks in the world to keep soulful house alive and positive. I love that your site expands with new people and new ideas everyday. Keep up the good work! Chi Meegwetch
.
But this review isn't about me, in fact, it's about similar passionate people who work everyday full time to keep our generation of heartfelt house music lovers satisfied and wanting more. It's my pleasure and delight to introduce you to a Record Label that has top notch productions and harmonic melodies that would make any man and woman dance in the shadow of the moon.
.
"I'm LOVEN these Records"
.
Welcome to
Loven Records and please take full advantage of their commitment to bring you quality music. I hope to introduce Loven Records to all of you through reviews and sweet sounds of their soulful funky house music so you get the latest and greatest hits of these "must have" productions. I'm going to submit reviews on the tracks that catch my eye so that you can have first dibs on the gooooods!
.
1. Ian Crabtree feat. Denise Gordon - Open Your Eyes (Loven Records)
.
If you're looking for a perfect ending track to a soulful mix then I've found the right ending to your already, awesome, mix. Imagine those sunny days for patio parties in the summer when we save the right sexy track to drop for a beautiful dancing day. "Open Your Eyes" not only gives you a quality arrangement of instruments to give you the "Big Band" feel but it also pays attention to the lyrics of sensability in a sensual world. The very talented vocalist actually sings like she believes what she's saying which is perfect for that soulful party filled with sexy funky people. The production has great fidelity and is bright enough to fill a big room. Hey, don't forget that any track that allows the sax to shine through get's big points from me anyways. Did you even need to ask me twice? lol [sample]
.
2. Lelani - And Another Day (Loven Records)
.
On to the next track that would be perfect for all your floorfilling needs. Whether you're in Canada or Portugal you can't miss out on this super groovey, liquid funky, delight that would have any girl dancing in her heels. I particularly loved the levels of the vocals and background melodies as they really were the most engaging elements to this track. But wait, what's that you ask? Was there any sax or horn elements? OF COURSE! Not only do they sexify the track with sax but they make it, deep, down, soulful jazzy goodness. Not too mention it's totally DJ friendly and would compliment any track that followed. [sample]
.
3. Lelani - And Another Day (Robert Hayes Remix) (Loven Records)
.
Let me start off by saying that all DEEP house lovers should buy this track right away as it totally merges vocals and deepness into one abSOULute solid track. This would be an amazing track to mix into the original "And Another Day" and go back and forth on both records because the vocals and overlaying sounds compliment each other perfectly. The house pattern is totally DJ friendly and actually makes mixing this record so easy because the arrangement really does it for you. Like all really properly sequenced tracks, they make their patterns so that we can be creative as DJ's. For example, you could take any sax riffs in this track and overlay it over any deep house beat (better make it a good one) and it would move dancefloors like oceans move waves. Try it, I guarantee you that this track is not only going to be a classic in my rotation but I'll also use it as a DJ tool when mixing to a soulful funky crowd. By the way, don't forget to praise the subtle use of congas in this track because we all need some tribal in our sets. Look out for Robert Hayes in more upcoming house tracks as I think he's going to engulf me in every musical way. [sample]
.
Thanks for your time and I wish you the best that house music can offer. DJ KWE, Crystaaal.

DeeperSoul Interview - Jihad Muhammad

.

Jihad Muhammad
.

Jihad Muhammad

”Producers and labels have to hold on to their goods until they are ready to release that record. Point blank. You can't blame anyone but yourself if you give it out to someone and now some dude has it to give to everyone.”

.
PART I
.
Could you tell us how you got into the music and about your early career?
.
I have been djing for a while now... maybe 16 or 17 years. Shep Pettibone, Timmy Regisford, Tony Humphries were my inspiration. I used to just listen to them play records on the radio and I was hooked. I started djing in my basement and then progressed to doing parties until I was good enough to do night clubs.
.
What’s your music background? [Do have learned how to play some instruments? Which artists have influenced you the most?]
.
Well, I am first and foremost a dj. I got into the production end because I felt it was the next step to take in my musical career. I don’t know how to play any instruments although I think I will take some piano lessons soon. The artist that have influenced me the most are Stevie Wonder, Roberta Flack, Blaze (my boys) and a bunch of others. The list will go on for days.
.
You have worked alongside Kevin Hedge of Blaze on the Black Masses "My Heavenly Stars" mixes. How important was that record in your career?
.
Well, I only did a mix on the record but at the time I saw it as a stepping stone. Not so much because my name was on a record but because of the learning experience. It triggered my interest into the production world.
.
In your records we see Carolyn Victorian and Malika Zarra (vocals), Vincent Jeffries (keys) and Kevin Jones (percussion), among others. If you had the opportunity, are there any other artists you would like to work with?
.
Yeah, I would love to work with Louie Vega because of his knowledge of the game. I love almost everything he does. I'm feeling Osunlade and Franck Roger as well. As far as artists, I would love to work with Nadirah Shakoor (I love her voice) and Kenny Bobien. I'm honoured to be doing a record with Pete Simpson out of London. He has a very strong voice so look out for that.
.
Which producing equipment are you using? [Do you use much software stuff?]
.
I'm using logic and melodyne. I have a Yamaha Motif for my sounds and Behringer studio monitors.
.
What records are you currently spinning every time you play?
.
I try to play a little of everything. I don’t like to say I have a style because that limits you. So I play records that I feel. I'm not trying to be the dj that plays all the current hot jams because then I'll sound like everyone else.
.
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?
.
I think that producers may have to look back in terms of understanding how records were made (me included). The songs that were out in the early 70's/80's had a very different feel to them. First, they were feel good kind of records. They were not just records that were hits for a month before folks forgot about them. Second, the songs had a message to them. Most songs now are hot because of the beat so people don’t really care about the actual song. We need more songs with meaning to them.
.
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?
.
I think the need of the dj wanting to have that hot record and then some labels not putting out the music until a year later plays a part as well. But back in the day we didn’t have cds or mp3's so what we did was go to the record store to buy what we wanted. Only the top djs had the exclusives. So now everybody can get their hands on joints because the file sharing is getting out of hand. And when they get the file by the time the record has come out the djs are tired of playing it. The only way it can be stopped is: producers and labels have to hold on to their goods until they are ready to release that record. Point blank. You can't blame anyone but yourself if you give it out to someone and now some dude has it to give to everyone. We have lost the sense of honour in this game at the pursuit of a mp3 file that djs will get tired of in about a month... they chase things just to say "I have it first".
.
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?
.
There are a lot of talented producers coming out with very good records so the "soulful" scene is doing pretty well when it comes to the standard of music that’s coming out. New York is grooving and New Jersey (where I’m from) has a lot of talent and good parties going on so I see our future getting brighter.
.
If you had the power to change anything in the music industry, what would be your first action?
.
That’s a serious question...lol. I guess I would try to see how I could combat the file sharing issue.
.
What can we expect to hear more from you in the near future?
.
Well, West End just released "loungin" and UK Basic just released "Reflections", a song that I did with Carolyn Victorian. Iwanai Music just brought a song I did called “No way back" which is a remix to the old Adonis jam. Also lookout for "number one" that’s coming out on Shack Music soon. I'm also in the process of putting out my own releases soon so I'm excited about that.

Rosie Gaines' 1996 soulful smash gets the rework treatment from We Deliver and Candy Apple for this 2005 release. We Deliver provides an hot soulful remix with loucious strings, warm keys and bouncing beats, along with a beautiful "Reprise mix". Candy Apple's Vocal remix is a funked up track with solid beats, percussion groove, funky guitar licks and a warm bassline, while the "Dub remix" is a powerful and effective tasty track that rocks the dancefloor. Hot.

He start listening to radio shows with Dimitri from Paris on NRJ, and also lot of local FM before they were closed by major companies and their business.In the middle 90s, he left his decks to do some studies and looking for a work in computer science. But for music lovers it's hard to let their decks down... So, few years late he was back with his music at work (he was in a company doing websites). The UniversDJ website was born this way: he needed some ftp space to let his friends listen to his music at work. So he made that portal and fortunally some people like Kik, Bibi (when he was on NRJ) came onto UniversDJ website and talk about it on the biggest soulful radio show that existed in France. Then lots of djs came in… Now UniversDJ community have more than 4 000 djs (with famous and bedroom djs) around the world and 6 000 guests. TuXxl is trying to make promotion of soulful house music and Djs, preparing radio shows, parties and booking (in France for the moment), and also helping labels on new releases/artists. He plays essentially for his website, some radio shows and also in a club in Aix-en-Provence called le Divino (where he plays Soulful, Raw and Garage).

Deeply Rooted House (008)

After the deepness of Tokyo Black Star (DRH 007) guess what we have now on DJ Deep’s label Deeply Rooted House… more deepness! With a strong bassline and nice keys together with male spoken words, this track has an incredible deep feeling.

sample 1 / sample 2

Depois do tema “Rainbow” de Tokyo Black Star (DRH 007), a label Deeply Rooted House de DJ Deep oferece-nos mais um disco deep. Com uma linha de baixo possante e teclas de belo efeito acompanhadas por spoken words, este tema consegue passar bem a mensagem que carrega.

Mood II Swing feat. Lauren

Magical Life

King Street Sounds


Magical life, magical release! Mood II Swing are back with “Magical life”. With an irresistible laidback feeling and an amazing vocal performance by Lauren, this soulful song is very appealing to the ear.
.
.
Com “Magical life” parece que os Mood II Swing estão de volta ao som soulful e menos comercial ao qual viraram as costas nos últimos tempos. Não deixando de ser um tema orelhudo, este novo trabalho não está preso ao imediatismo na pista de dança que tem comprometido algumas das suas produções.
