Original by the master himself Taubert with Jay Dabhi (Da Groove Doctors) on remix.
SoulBasics is a production team from the UK, formed by the dj Steve Fox & musician Matt Bell, their music is based around jazz and soulful orientated sounds, with some tech and latin flavors.
Now, they are back to the Grooveland Camp with the City lite EP, a fantastic jazz house track featuring a great instrumentation and arrangement that comes in two flavors.
The Calypsoul Mix is driven by sweet percussion and a smooth groove that make this version the choice for late nite and early morning play, while the NY Groove is based on a stompin’ groove and features additional keys, creating a more powerful
vibe suitable for any other occasion.
Early feedbacks:

DJ Groove (Look At You Rec)

DJ Kik (Universe DJ)
The Mother Lode grooves surprisingly hard for a track with such haunting, layered beauty. Grinding underground floor-filler meets open, breezy acoustic fugue to form a stunning composition. Deep Rescue offers more provoking contrast with a pulsing, hard electro groove, punctuated by flowing acoustic piano, churning guitar riffs and a flawless, orchestral string arrangement. The Buddha Bless Groove Mix of Falling Gracefully Forward, is an aural back rub. This soothing gem oozes ethereal pads while hypnotizing with rolling live bass grooves and dope live keyboard solos. Finally, Ohms for the Holidays introduces layer after interesting layer in a hard-bodied, Deep House floor-filler for every ‘ twirl space’.

Three deep tracks reminiscent of the past with future appeal!
Producer Notes:
Back To Stabs- I went back to the raw on this one… With heavy kicks and swinging drums, this track was created using 90 percent analog outboard gear. All the samples were chopped up and arranged in Logic Studio by moving the audio objects around like pieces to a puzzle. Finally everything fit, add the grimy stabs and solo… and we go back… Back To Stabs.
Revolution- Watching a needle in the groove of a record can be hypnotizing… That was the whole feeling behind this one… Sometimes the needle has a bit of a sway or wobble on every full turn. I tried to translate this into the computer, so if you play it as .wav or mp3 you would still have that feel. Halfway through it goes in reverse… again it’s all about Revolution.

N’Dinga Gaba feat. Sahffi – Summer Breeze (Raw Artistic Soul Remix)
From the talent-cradle city of Baltimore, the producer & singer duo deliver a track that fits the summer feeling to perfection. The two artists wrote “Summer Breeze”, expressing an endless potential of their musical talent, which lies very close to the label’s heart. Foliage Records is delighted to include N’Dinga Gaba and Sahffi in its repertoire!
The full release of “Summer Breeze” is set to appear in the early summer days of 2011, so for this summer, Foliage has teamed-up with Germany’s Raw Artistic Soul, who also appears in the label’s imprint for the first time. Phil Kullmann, the man behind the celebrated House moniker, delivers three different versions to suit your every need this season: whether it is a soulful, deep or techy vibe you’re looking for, to set the mood on the beach, to warm up a crowd or for serious impact on the dancefloor, his renowned skills in the studio promise a mouth-watering taster that will leave you wanting more!

Hot on the heels of the MM011 (Flyingmice ft Nworks ‘Nightflight’), we present to you MM012 from top producers Doobie J & Rob Capewell with their brand new song ‘Black Heels’ featuring Ashley Stone on vocals. Doobie J’s love for house music began sometime around the mid-90’s when he brought his first pair of decks in ’96 and started throwing legendary house party’s.
In 1999 Jason (Doobie J) suffered a spinal cord injury and had to hang his headphones up, never expecting to DJ again but he couldn’t give up his passion for house so put all his energy into production and as a result Citrus Sound was born. In 2004 he returned to DJing via mp3 decks, playing in and around London for promoters such as Baldeelox, SO?, SSRadio and Ultrafunk, and now hosts a weekly radio show on www.ssradiouk.com alongside Defected Records, MN2S and DJ Disciple. In September 2006, he graduated from the Academy of Contemporary Music with a degree in music production and built the Citrus Sound collective of musicians & producers whom are dedicated to the housemusic sound. Doobie J has had releases on Daddyfunk records (Diana Waite, Yvonne Yanney), Miss Moneypennys Music, Music Vision & Badlebox records..
Black Heels is a wonderfully crafted soulful house cut, oozing quality, the original vocal mix has some cool beats, percussion, rhodes, bass, Guitar and a superb vocal by Ashley. On remix duites we have a fantastic array of talent, Twisted Soul collective take the track deeper and aim it straight at the dancefloor with some great synth work. Mojito goes for a tougher soulful workout whilst King of Rhodes & Bassi mellow out the proceedings a little… Nice! Get those girls to click and move those heels on the dancefloor with this soulful corker!

Wil Milton and Rodney Carter have done it again with the ultra-smooth “Let Her Know” off the Blakink imprint. This smash serves as a musical and lyrical guide into bringing romance back into a relationship. The laid-back chord structure perfectly sets the tone for the syncopated verse flow of this masterpiece. A mournful flute and lush string section deftly underscore the soulful yet anthemic chorus arrangement. This thought-provoking track creates a dynamic ebb-and-flow and reaches a crescendo as the unmistakable electric guitar comes to life. As usual, Milton and Carter collaborate brilliantly and strongly urge you to “Let Her Know”
