Makin’ Moves End of Summer Terrace Party Sunday 24th September @ Cargo

Posted on by

Following our fantastic all day terrace party at Cargo in Shoreditch last month we head back there on Sunday 24th September for our end of summer event.

For this event joining residents Matt L-S and Jamesey inside the club for the latest deep and soulful house will be Baltimore’s N’Dinga Gaba who runs Global Diplomacy Records. N’Dinga has produced and worked with some of the best names around. He’s also a great dj and we look forward to welcoming him back to Makin’ Moves for this special event!

Outside on the terrace we are doing a memorial to the beautiful Claire Tomlinson who the music scene lost way too soon last September. Claire was a regular to Makin’ Moves and we have pulled out all the stops to put together a group of DJs that she really loved and were also her good friends to play some music and come together in memory of her life. DJ’s performing on the day playing soul, jazz, funk include Patrick Steele, Steve Harrington, L’il Stevie and Mi-Soul’s Martin Lodge.

We welcome our good friend DJ Uchikawa aka Loftsoul from Japan for his release on the label. We’ve had Uchikawa come and play at our parties in London for many years so it was high time he did a release for us and what a stunning track he’s turned out with the UKs Fae Simon on vocals. The track was first performed earlier this year in London by Fae when Uchi was last over here in March and Matt and Jamesey from the label thought it was so good they decided to snap it up!

Uchi runs his own clubs in his native Japan and also runs the Loftsoul Recordings label working alongside numerous high-gradeartists and singers.

On vocals is Fae Simon from the UK, a soulful Jazz singer, a gifted songwriter and a vocal performance instructor with over 20 years of on-stage experience.

Formally trained in Opera and Jazz, Faes performance style fuses these traditional genres with Hip-hop, Rare Groove, Soul and Dub a unique sound that electrifies audiences when she performs with her live band. She’s released two albums and is currently working on her third…

MAKIN063 – Frank McComb ‘Listen To Your Heart’ (AMFlow Remix)

Posted on by
Frank McComb is a divine soul man who speaks with the native tongue of soul, jazz, blues and pop. His virtuoso vocal and piano work has made him not only an indispensable and highly sought after session musician, but a favorite on the soul, jazz and R&B scenes.

Frank has worked with many of the entertainment industry%u2019s giants including but not limited to: Prince, Branford Marsalis, George Duke, Patrice Rushen, Gerald Levert, The Rude Boys, Phil Perry, Tommy Davidson, Fred Hammond, John P. Kee, Chaka Khan, Songwriting duo Kenny Gamble and Leon Huff, D.J. Jazzy Jeff and the Fresh Prince (Will Smith), Frankie Beverly and Maze, Teena Marie, Lalah Hathaway, Terri Lynn Carrington, Phyllis Hyman, Valerie Simpson, American Idol’s Rickey Minor, Philip Bailey, Teddy Pendergrass and so many more.

‘Listen To Your Heart’ came out in 2000 on an album called Love Stories. New Jersey house producers Adam Rios and Mark Lewis aka AMFlow loved the original song and felt the hook would work nicely with a house music beat and made a special mix for themselves that they would play out in dj sets.

We heard the new mix and sent it to Frank asking if we could release it and he loved it so much he re-sung the vocals and the rest they say is history!

AMFlow are Adam Rios and Mark Lewis hailing from New Jersey, USA. Adam has been in the industry for many years mostly producing house music with legend Timmy Regisford and the Shelter crew for many years and has recently stepped up his solo projects with Vega Records. This exciting side project with Mark Lewis is called AMFlow. Expect to hear more form these guys later this year!

MAKIN067 – Dave Anthony featuring Beverlei Brown ‘Never Give You Up’

Posted on by

Following his red hot remix of New Day for us last month, David Anthony returns for his first single on the label Never Give You Up featuring the unmistakable sounds of Beverlei Brown. You might remember Beverlei from her hot track ‘I Don’t Know Why’ which came out recently on Quantize Recordings which had a smashing mix from Manoo to boot!

Never Give You Up, is a passional written deep track with a wicked hypnotic groove throughout that will instantly grab you and have you tapping your foot! Think big room Ministry of Sound, 4am and your feeling a bit lethargic and then this comes on and carries you, BOOM your back!!

Both Matt and Jamesey have been playing it on the makin moves radio show and after a few bars of the track the phone instantly rings for the rewind it’s that good!

This release is available exclusively from Traxsource from Friday 26th May.
