MAKIN243 – Ralph Session “Wrap Your Soul”

admin — Mon, 08 Jun 2026 13:29:56 +0000

Ralph Session returns to Makin’ Moves this summer with ‘Wrap Your Soul’ his second single release on the label!

Ralph is an ever evolving house music producer with releases on labels such as Freerange, Quantize and Local Talk records, through the years showing his versatility. Demonstrating his skills once again with this roller of a tune that brings more ‘bounce to the ounce’ using creative ‘Boom Bap’ style drum pattern, whilst cleverly intertwining a beautiful soulful vocal drawing from his B-Boy/House dancer background filled with funk, soul, hiphop/R&b and house influences.

The vocal sweetly flows along wrapping your soul into a dance floor bliss, making this a perfect summer anthem.

Wrap Your Soul produced and arranged by Ralph Sessions

Mastering by Clinton McCreery
Executive Producers : Jamesey & Matt L-S

Available exclusively from our Bandcamp store from Friday 5th June 2026 – https://makinmoves2.bandcamp.com/album/wrap-your-soul

Due to unforeseen and unfortunate circumstances, beyond our control! Osunlade will not be performing at our 14th anniversary this Saturday 16th October at Phonox.

Makin’ Moves celebrates their 14th anniversary on Saturday 16th May with a special day party event at South London’s finest club Phonox. Phonox is definitely our favourite London club with the best sound system and lights, it just has the full package when putting on an event of this size! Oakland-based DJ Patrick Wilson has been in the game for over 40 years and in that time has earnt respect as one of the finest djs in the States in that time. He and fellow Oaklander Nina Sol are resident DJs at Elements, a party dedicated to deep, soulful house, both classic and they’ve shared the stage with everyone from Moodyman to Joe Claussell. We really can’t wait to have him play for us and take us on a journey! Kapela has been one of the rising stars in the soulful / afro scene for sometime. Building up a reputation as one of the top djs in Paris at the infamous Djoon club where he has a monthly Sunday residency and we experienced for ourselves last year!

We sincerely apologise for any inconveniences caused.
