Respect - Osunlade
.
Osunlade is an artist who personifies art. |
Revitalizing the sometimes stagnant New York deep house scene, Osunlade's music is rhythmically propulsive, soulful, and highly spiritual, not surprising considering he is a priest in the Yoruba religion of Ifa. With a background in soul music, Osunlade worked with Lauryn Hill and Patti Labelle before turning to house, the music of his childhood. After forming his record label, Yoruba, Osunlade quickly established a reputation for refreshing singles such as "Power to Conquer" and "Cantos A Ochun Et Oya."
As Yoruba's catalog developed a wider fan base, the venerable Soul Jazz label, most famous for their compilations, approached Osunlade about recording for them. Paradigm was one of the year's best albums and signalled a new height in Osunlade's career.
With appearances on many compilations and frequent remix requests, it's clear that Osunlade has struck a nerve with the dance community.

Feeling his spiritual side in his productions, however he does too many remixes, overshadowing the better ones...
