An old amazing work from DOLLS COMBERS re-worked and re-mixed by DJ RORK, SPIRITUAL BLESSINGS and STEVE PARADISE with vocals from LADY BIRD.
More than 1 year ago Jean from Spiritual Blessing went to a gig in Milano meeting Rork and LadyBird.
In that occasion DJ Rork was spinning an old GKF instrumental track and was really amazed from Lady Bird’s live performance on that track, so born the idea to re-work that track and add more remixes.
All together the crew made a reunion at the Steve Paradise’s Studio in Vicenza and “After the Rain Comes the Sun” has seen light.
There are no more word to spend on DJ RORK, owner of STALWARTrecordings and well know DJ/producers in the international house scene.STEVE PARADISE and SPIRITUAL BLESSINGS by the way are the GKF’s stable producers, author of a lot of really nice works on GKF and other famous labels.
LADY BIRD
The Franco-Australian singer, also author and talented vocalist makes first appearance on Gotta Keep Faith Records.
The musical journey of Lady Bird started with her first acid jazz & vintage soul music band in Paris named IDEO SOUL. She lends her talent to different French hip hop projects before teaming up with DJ RORK and DEMON RITCHIE to form the “SOLDIERS OF TWILIGHT” starting release projects in 1998. Lady Bird has a strong jazz/soul background combined with an extensive musical knowledge. She delicately adds her smooth and soulful voice to lounge beats, deep house riche melodies or even more radically on electro tunes.
In 200, she collaborates with LLORCA for his first album “Newcomer” and she delivers 2 singles, as author/compositor, “My precious thing” and “True to me”, which became hits in the charts.
She currently works on her solo album project and still collaborates with DJ LE ROI, DJ RORK, RALF GUM, DOM NAVARRA, JOHNWAYNES and…..her friends here at GKF!

MIKE FOSSATI (Spirit Of House) : Remember the Dolls Combers instrumental remix of Confused mind by Monsieur Cedric? Eventually, DJ Rork played the track and Lady Bird did a live performance on top of it – and everybody loved it. So they went to the studio to record it – the result is After the rain comes the sun, a magnificent production combining the organic jazzy Dolls Combers vibes with Lady Bird’s passionate vocals. Spiritual Blessings provide two beautifully crafted deep versions laced with seductive melodies, while Steve Paradise gives the track a celestial dreamy touch.
