To bring in the new year, Large Music is thrilled to announce our lineup for our 139th single release. Dutch artist TJ Kong (Erwin Van Moll) has been making waves recently with his exciting releases on Compost Black Label and a full length album for Compost as well. He teams up here with legendary UK techno legend Russ Gabriel and dance icon Robert Owens for a perfect Large Music anthem entitled ‘Celebration’.

Both TJ and Russ provide wonderful vocal mixes, each framing Robert’s poetic lyrics perfectly but still revealing each producer’s unique style and sound. TJ also provides two killer club oriented mixes- The After Hours Version and Heavenly Dub. Both of these remixes give the composition over to a darker, edgier feel.

For our final remix we have enlisted Barcelona based artist Soul Minority. He has recently moved into the spotlight as one of the new school soldiers of deep house and was selected as the ‘Artist to Watch’ on Beatport in 2009. His remix for Celebration showcases his trademark sounds and has an old school feel that pays homage to classic Chicago house. It is time for the Celebration!

SPIRITUAL BLESSINGS come back on Gotta Keep Faith with a single featuring the warm vocals of JAY RAGS. Last SB project on our label was “Kumasi”, in 2008, an afro syncopate project that let feel people dizzy. During this time, the Italian duo worked hard on many remixes on GKF : Dom Navarra & Monique Henry “When you fall”, Su Su Bobien “Praise Always”, Logicalgroove & Savio Vurchio “You are the one”, Grantorino & Sharon “What you won’t do”, Steve Paradise “Star in the blue”, Eternal Sunshine “Beautify me”, Raf’n’Soul “Man on the Prowl”, Born to Funk “Get funky”, MSadler + Arnaud D & MJ White “Sweet Innocence”, Duoswing “Metrotendencies”, Stephanie Cooke “Old Friend”, Uncle James “The Godfather”, Keith Thompson & Licksamba “Still feeling you”, Eternal Sunshine “Because of you” and last awesome release of Groove Assassin & Tantra Zawadi “Love Seeker”. That’s not all. At the same time they spread some deep sound also for other labels like UNITED MUSIC (Spiritual Blessings Ft. Lisa Mayers), SOUNDMEN ON WAX (NYC Peech Boys, Barbara Tucker & SuSu Bobien), MIXED MUSIC SIGNALS (Spiritual Blessings, Roy Davis Jr.), KOLONKI (Terry Dexter), DEL (Spiritual Blessings Ft. Lisa Mayers), CABANA (Deep Y’All), SOBRA. A lot of stuffs. Actually their works out besides Groove Assassin & Tantra Zawadi are Lene Riebau “It feels better” on SOFITONE, Steven Stone Feat. Andrea Love “I Just can’t stop” on SOULDELUXE RECORDINGS. And many more projects will see the light in 2011.
