Shawnee Taylor teams up with Jorge Jaramillo on ‘Till I Feel OK’

Around for a while and escaping many people’s attention (nearly mine too!), I’ve finally unearthed Jorge Jaramillo’s new Shawnee Taylor-sung offering, ‘Till I Feel OK’ on Lectro Chik [l].

This hot, big-room acid monster is a new direction for vocalist Shawnee Taylor, who is usually associated with more soulful house offerings and mooted to be retiring this year.

Spoon, Harris and Obernik team up in ‘Baditude’

The trio of Spoon, Harris & Obernik already had more than enough respective club credibility to their names before teaming up for what quickly became one of Pete Tong’s Essential New Tunes in ‘Baditude’.

Collectively, Dave Spoon [a], Paul Harris [a] and vocalist Sam Obernik look like giving Toolroom [l] the sort of track that ‘With Every Heartbeat’ was for Robyn’s career.

Roland Clark releases ‘Life Time’

The unmistakable vocal talent that is Roland “The Voice” Clark is again at the forefront of his game on Urban Soul’s new King Street Sounds release, ‘Life Time’, which isn’t another of his archetypal “docu-tale” speeches of house music’s history.

Not that there’s anything wrong with that.

The Sunburst Band’s third installment

When producer Dave Lee [a] isn’t remixing hits for the pop elite or scoring Top 10 hits in his own right under a variety of guises, he likes to take time out from the sampler and remix desk to make live music.

Regrouping with his über-talented muso team, they finally deliver the third installment from The Sunburst Band [a] (after the acclaimed ‘Here Comes The Sunburst Band’ and their sophomore opus ‘Until The End Of Time’).

‘Going Back To My Roots’ gets remixed on Subliminal Records

‘Going Back To My Roots’, Lamont Dozier’s socio-political track was inspired in the ‘70s by the apartheid regime’s treatment of Africans in South Africa. 

It is a perennial favourite to the club fraternity, although I’m betting few know the roots to the song.

(See, it’s an education reading my blogs!)

George Morel brings it with ‘Let’s Take Drugs’

To quote Frankie Knuckles: “George Morel is one of the best producers of House Music. I’ve been a big fan and staunch supporter for a long time. I love this man!”

When the Godfather of House Music says that about you, it’s bound to make people take note.

Christian Smith & John Selway’s ‘Total Departure’

Like Etienne De Crécy’s ‘Fast Track’ from some four years ago, Christian Smith [a] & John Selway [a] ‘Total Departure’ on Adam Beyer’s Drumcode [l] imprint, is a storming techno instrumental.

Amazingly simple in its constituent parts, it’s such a crazed, driving number that, when added to the relentless bassline, it’s likely to drive you over the edge in more ways than one.

Hirshee drops ‘From Above’

Hirshee’s ‘From Above’ on Stereo Soul Recordings [l] is another of those catchy-as-ya-like instrumental numbers rich in Balearic Latin spirit.

Only the label’s second release, Hirshee [a] – an acclaimed house DJ and producer from Vancouver, Canada who’s previously recorded with Blow Media and Gossip - unfurls a rumbling house beat, catching chords and a jittery funk bassline that’s immediately infectious, making this slow-burning chugger an obvious favourite.

TWM ‘Rock Da House’

Production trio TWM [a] follow up their 2006 club hit ‘Repossessed’ with the strings-laden summer sizzler ‘Rock Da House’ on Lugano Records [l], featuring one-time Sounds Of Blackness vocalist Carrie Harrington (she sang backup on ‘Testify’) and lead with Mint Condition on their 1994 R&B hit ‘So Fine’.

The original mix is an uplifting slice of gospel-kissed vocal-house, but the real show stealer is Kinky Roland [a] [pictured] and his chunkier reworking.

Candido gets remixed by Johnny Vicious

In the UK in the late-‘70s, if the Gap Band’s ‘Oops Upside Your Head’ was responsible for the novelty rowing craze, then ‘Jingo’ by Candido [a] started the now-embarrassing formation we call line dancing, complete with twirl, kick and shuffle!

Percussionist Candido, with Kleeer vocalist Woody Cunningham, created near mayhem with their ‘Dancin’ And Prancin’ album that also included the club classic ‘Thousand Finger Man’, but it was the curiously titled ‘Jingo’ that took a full two years to eventually cross the Atlantic and hit the lower reaches of the UK pop charts, later dominating dancefloors for years to come.
