Mojito featuring Janine Johnson Why don’t you (Daddy Funk Records CD Promo) – Written by Mike Fossati – www.spiritofhouse.com

While their previous two releases still rockin’ floors all around the globe, Daddy Funk drop the next bomb with Why don’t you by Mojito featuring heartfelt vocals by Janine Johnson and glorious jazzy keys over a laidback funk drenched backing. The remixes give you plenty of choices, with Bassi serving a classic take featuring a grand piano, Doobie J going slightly more pumpin’ on his summery version, Ray Paxon delivering the goods on his deep’n’sexy version, DJ Jogador relaxing the vibe on his deep soulful workout, Sole Essential going as deep as it gets on his hypnotic dub and finally Rob Hayes is blessing us with his sun drenched disco-funk dub.

In the Spotlight: Vick Lavender & DJN Project Be yourself (Sophisticado Records CD Promo)

The Rurals are back again, with their signature deeper than deep organic, funky, jazzy soulful House music played by “real” musicians using “real” instruments recorded in a “real studio”. You can hear the warmth of the keys and the heaviness of the vibe is helped greatly by the soulful and sexy vocals by the extraordinary soul singer and Deep House legend Lady Bird. She has a jazzy and funky delivery, reminiscent of years gone by. Her sound in particular really suits the The Rurals musical structure.

Once again Andy Compton and Rurals gathers together some of the best underground Deep House remixers from the U.K and South Africa. With some amazing contributions from the legends Bittersuite, the incredible new talent Magic Soul, Andy Compton himself and a very special mix by Trancemicsoul from South Africa
