In 1994, Kerri Chandler and Arnold Jarvis - two of house music's biggest legends - joined forces to present "Inspiration" which nowadays is considered an all time classic, released through Freetown Inc. (a now defunct deep house and garage label from London, UK responsible for many other classics as well). The title says it all, and with Kerri 'Chandler's trademark phat basslines, Arnold Jarvis inimitable impassioned vocals and the phenomenal piano, this undoubtedly is a cornerstone in house music history. Not to forget to mention the massive remixes by Roger Sanchez, Nick Jones and Kerri Chandler himself (the picture on the left is from the limited 3x12" DJ promo).

Ever since he began to write, perform and record, Arnold Jarvis, one of the true legendary voices of house music, can look back at an impressive catalogue of classics. From the beginning, he has worked with the biggest names in the industry - his debut single "Take some time out" (1987) was produced by Tommy Musto & Yvonne Turner, he collaborated with Frankie Knuckles, Robert Owens & Satoshi Tomiie on "I loved you" (1990) and worked with Kerri Chandler on "Inspiration" (1994) to name just a few. Now he presents his third full length album "Just say it" produced by none other than Shelter maestro Timmy Regisford, and what a musical treat this is... On each of the songs on the album, he impresses with his unmistakable soulful rendition of the meaningful lyrics, while thesumptuous rhythms and grandiose melodies ensure jam packed floors. A truly phenomenal album by no means to be missed. |

The South African Sci-Fi Productions label is on a roll at the moment as shortly after the killer release "Far away" by DJ Hypnosis they are back with the next bomb sure to rock floors around the globe. The beautiful "Rise and fall" is courtesy of Mate (Sibusiso Ntuli) and features deeply felt vocals by Kimet Nuh alongside celestial keys over smooth and deep yet contaminous rhythms. DJ Sibz takes the track to deeper grounds on his spell binding underground-esque workout laced with enticing melodies, while Chymamusique contributes a superb laidback interpretation featuring grand keys over thrilling percussive rhythms. Truly essential - nuff said.

Brownswood Records, a London-based indie label by Gilles Peterson (globe trotting purveyor of all sounds soulful and inspired) present something truly special with the remixes of Havana Cultura's "Orisa". First and foremost we would like to draw your attention to the remixes by Martin 'AtJazz' Iveson who contributes two masterly four-to-the-floor interpretations inspired by his beloved AtJazz sound. The 'Love Soul Remix' oozes with true musicianship, always staying respectful to the phenomenal original, making full us of Dreiser and Sexto Sentido's spell binding vocals. The stripped back 'Astro Dub' goes deeper, putting the emphasis on the infectious afro-cuban rhythms. Also included are the original version and remixes by Chancha Via Circuito and Alex Patchwork.
