Spirit of House

Remember the first ever release on GoGo Music back in November 2001? It was "The way love goes" by Dara Band with vocals by Michael Procter, now that ten years have passed it is time to celebrate and look back at the labels truly impressive, one-of-a-kind catalogue with the four compilations "Soul for the Floors" which contains a selection of the labels memorable vocals anthems, "Dubs for the Clubs" which contains tracks that set the floors on fire, "Tracks for the Heads" which showcases the deeper side of the label and "Visions of Musicians" which offers nothing but eclectic productions and unrivaledmusicality. Many of the songs included in these compilations have gotten our "Pick of the Week" or "Spotlight" awards in the past years, they are simply too many to mention... What we had said for many of the labels releases in the past is valid here as well: a timeless and essential release, one that is not to be missed.The first two volumes are available at your favorite digital music store now, the other two will follow in the coming weeks.

"Moonlight" is taken from Bah Samba's highly acclaimed "Shake the Dog" album released last year and features seductive vocals by Liv Lykke. On remix duty we have DJ Spinna who is pulling out all the stops on his ingenious interpretation laced with sublime keys and chords, adding his beloved 'Galactic Soul' touch to the song. Next we have two equally fantastic mixes Italy's Souldynamic who contribute a deeper than deep truly mesmerizing workout and a warm melodious four-to-the-floor stomper. Also included is an ethereal reprise by Julian Bendall guaranteed to send shivers down your spine.

Back in October 2008, Tone Control Music presented the amazing "Passin' thru" by Poussez (Jafar and Maxime Cescau) and Demarkus Lewis which features sensual vocals by songstress Hannah Khemoh, now this wicked track returns with a phenomenal selection remixes taking this wonderful song to new heights. First up we have Sean McCabe delivering an instant classic, adding his signature soulful touch loaded with grand keys and organs. Next up is Demarkus Lewis with his infectious yet soulful string-led rendition, while finally AtJazz contributes a celestial deep jazzed-up dub oozing with admirable melodies.

The Sophisticado vinyl series is here, with the first release being Vick Lavender's singular remixes of "Change" by Monodeluxe, a wonderful production featuring sultry vocals courtesy of Jaidene Veda. Not much needs to be said about this release besides this is another choice production (more precisely remix) oozing with the vintage sound Vick Lavender is famous for, featuring stellar keys by Vijay Tellis-Nayak (don't miss to check out the 'Organ Mix' on the flip side and you know what we're talking about) and an arrangement that speak for themself - soulful house music made for eternity. Much more to come in the future... For all the digital heads out there, you can expect downloads at your favorite online store in a couple of months.

Diva Down Entertainment follow-up their debut release "I got my pride" by SuSu Bobien (released in January of last year) with "U turn", a phenomenal song which features lyrics inspired by a sermon, written by DewBJoyful Productions aka Dewey Andrew Cioffi and BJ Nelson and performed by legendary house music diva Dawn Tallman who impresses with her inimitable deeply felt rendition of the lyrics. The mixes are courtesy of Davidson Ospina whose sublime deep version is spell binding yet smooth and soulful, Josh Milan who contributes an utterly soulful interpretation, and finally Menakeys who serves a fiery rework featuring distinguished keys. In simple terms: a musical gem that is timeless and essential.
