Sacred Rhythm

.
Deep!Geoffrey Oryema

Kei Kweyo (Joaquin Joe Claussell Remixes)       
 
Sacred Rhythm
.
"Sacred Rhythm's never ending search for the spiritual strands of house music sees label boss Joe Claussell turn his attentions to the music of legendary Ugandan musician Geoffrey Oryema. Renowned for his endeavours to ensure the languages of his youth are kept alive musically, Oryema has worked with the likes of Peter Gabriel and 1 Giant Leap in a celebrated recording career. Claussell chooses to rework "Kel Kweyo", a track from Oryema's breakthrough album from 1993, Beat The Border, offering up two extended versions. The African Outlaw Demo version weaves Oryemo's soothing vocals around an expansive and loosely stacked tribal throb with a delightfully deep analogue line at the core, whilst the Dub version does what all good dub versions do!"

Too Late

Deep!Sandman & Riverside

It's Too Late       
 
Fast Forward
.
Sandman & Riverside return to Fast Forward with a dope broken house number called “It’s Too Late” featuring Kymberli Wright (lead vocalist of Detroit jazz band Straight Ahead). All mixes are really good but we have to give a special mention to Ron Trent who offers a superb remix with his trademark tribal rhythms and intricate keyboard work (the interaction between the vibes and keys is absolutely wonderful). Essential!

Sophisticado 2012

.
Sophisticado Recordings kicks off 2012 with two superb releases from label head Vick Lavender.
.
Deep!Vick Lavender

Glass Houses       

Sophisticado
.
First we have “Glass Houses", a cosmic track with generous keyboard work by Vijay Tellis-Nayak and percussion by Bobby D, all careful arranged by the Cigar Man. The Guitar Mix features a monumental guitar ride by Isaiah Sharkey, inviting the listener to a trippy experience. Impressive.
.
Deep!Vick Lavender feat. Tina Howell

Intelligent Beings (Music for love)       

Sophisticado
.
Then we have "Intelligent Beings” with a new addition to the family: Tina Howell. Her captivating vocals match perfectly with the fusionist music exercise (delivered in three different flavors) from Vick Lavender and the usual suspects. SA’s collective 60 Hertz offers a smokin remix with their characteristic jazzy keys and guitar over a clever Afro groove. Pure gold.

This is definitely one of the most attractive songs we have heard from Wil Milton in the past few years. “Don't Be Afraid to Fall” features passionated vocals by Darryl D' Bonneau (with Eric Scott and Rodney Carter providing the background vocals) and lush music textures with layered keyboad melodies. Tasty!
