I’VE BEEN busy travelling – mostly pleasure – but managed to grab a few hours to check out the new tracks in my in-box and mix up the very best for you. And I have to say I’m really impressed with the latest release from Canadian outfit Kwality Kontrol. http://www.myspace.com/kwalitykontrol I think this is the first time I’ve included so many tracks from the same artist in one mix. The four-track EP called “Redemption” is widely available including www.traxsource.com This is quality soulful house at its best. I was delighted to see that fellow Londoner Chaka Khan is gigging again. 55-year-old Chaka, real name Yvette Stevens, lives in the leafy north London suburb of West Hampstead, and has owned a house in the capital for more than 15 years. On stage earlier this week, referring to London she said “It’s my home. It’s where I live”. So we’ve lost Madonna but gained Chaka Khan. Good trade I guess. In Episode 38 we feature one of the best mixes from the prolific set accompanying Chaka’s single “Disrespectful”. Chaka’s official site appears to be malfunctioning at the time of writing but the Jam and Lewis produced album “Funk This” is readily available online and in the shops. Also check out the excellent blissed-out “A tu lado” by Moroccan/Belgian DJ Producer U-Ness featuring Robina. http://www.myspace.com/uness1 This is also available on the Hed Kandi “Beach House” CD. Ibiza sunset anyone? Then we segue into Jack Fresh’s “The best”, as the set gets deep and serious. http://www.myspace.com/loopfreaksrecords I’m off to Berlin next, so if you’re close, shall we meet for a beer? I’d love to hear from you. Stay in touch, enjoy the sounds, and I’ll see you again in a few weeks.
