Respect - Joaquin ‘Joe’ Claussell

.

	A modern-day renaissance man, this New York-based producer, remixer and dj is also a prolific business man; one who approaches all his projects with sincerity and intensity, qualities he infuses into everything he touches. In his latest role as owner of Sacred Rhythm Music, he intends to guide the world to a new way of looking at and listening to music.

Born into a large musical family, and raised in Park Slope, Brooklyn, Joe Claussell quickly learned the positive and uplifting affect music had on his life. Having been surrounded on all sides by a diverse combination of music from rock, soul, pop, African, and Latin, Joe started to contribute his own musical inspiration at his Friday night jam sessions at the illustrious vinyl shop Dance Tracks. After later becoming part owner, Joe continued to travel the world in search of the spirituality in music as well as continuing to play international venues. In 1996, joining NY DJ’s Francois K and Danny Krivit, Joe became a part of the most influential underground party of the late 90’s, Body & Soul, contributing with his innate ability to broadcast his passion from the first to the last person on the dance floor.

.

Recognizing the lack of soulful dance music in the market by his experience on Dance Tracks, Joe Claussell created Spiritual Life Music in early 1998. Utilizing the artist's strength, taping into their soul and “making music around it" has been Joe’s philosophy and apparent key to success. Music created for, by and about the soul is a long forgotten pastime of current record conglomerates. Explore this spiritual experimentation, in which the historical, physical, and spiritual elements guide us to a new level of awareness. Listen to the music; you may be surprised at how familiar this sound is, the sound of life.

.

Listen here some of his work:

sample "Central Reservation" - Beth Orton (Joe Claussell & Jerome Sydenham remix)

sample "Sayaji" - Ustad Sultan Khan (Joe Claussell's Sacred Rhythm mix)

sample "Give & Let Live" - Hope Collective (Vega & Claussell dub)

Higher Love

.

Antonio Ocasio is back on Counterpoint Records, after “Fabulous” (released last year with big support from François K., David Mancuso, etc.). With vocals by Mustafa Akbar, “Higher Love” features all the delicious ingredients we can expect from Tribal Winds label head: tribalish groove, hammond keys, sax, flute, rhodes and bass, all dropped with his outstanding spiritual touch. Lovely record.

Masters

Respect - Glenn Underground

.

	Glenn Underground (GU) comes from a family of musicians dating all the way back into the early 1970's, from his stepfather to his cousin and to his uncle's so his musical knowledge exceeds him. Since 1984 GU has been playing & supporting house music in Chicago and has been producing his own brand of House and electronic music since about 86-87 until now.

Taking inspiration from Chicago's original pioneers, Larry Heard, Ron Hardy, Lil' Louis, and the like, Glenn has produced some of the most well respected deep house music of the past few years. His releases for Cajual, Prescription, Guidance, Nite Life Collective and Peacefrog have set the standard for sophisticated dance music. Also, he is one of the few DJ's who can walk the line between deep jazzy house, disco influenced house, and the kind of classics featured at the legendary parties of late 70's Chicago.

Respect - DJ Spinna

	Born in Brooklyn, New York, DJ Spinna has been a purveyor of quality music since the commencement of his production career.

Jackson, Roy Ayers and many others.

DJ Spinna has over fifteen years of experience as a DJ, and has been collecting records since childhood. His professional career started as a college radio and party DJ at Binghamton University.

He is part of the underground duo Jigmastas whose album was released on the Beyond Real Recordings, label which he also co-owns. He also launched his own dance music label named WonderWax Music.
