Over the years, Colombian native musician Jay Rodriguez has been involved in various house music projects (most notably Groove Collective, a project with Bill Ware on the legendary Eightball Records and Batidos where he collaborated with Ron Trent), now he triumphantly returns with his own label Pambele Records. The debut release titled "Without you" is sheer musical bliss, giving us a glimpse of what to expect in the future - nothing but serious masterly orchestrated music. The 'Original Mix' is on a laidback down tempo tip, oozing with a distinguished jazz vibe that is taken to the next level by DJ Romain on his 'Deep & Lovely Mix' which gives the song a kick-ass smoothed-out four-to-the-floor feel that stays true to the jazzy composition of the original.

Back in March of this year, Paso Doble presented his debut release "My world" featuring songstress Amera Light, now he returns with the phenomenal "Blind faith" featuring emotive vocals by the highly talented Zano and grand keys over smooth yet fierce rhythms. Only the best were commissioned with the remixes, namely Kafele, Brazilian Soul Crew, DJ Hypnosis, Kalero, The Soulfellaz, Deepillusion, Silvia Zaragoza and OtherSoul... They all keep the vibe soulful while adding their respective touch to the song, with the result being a mind-blowing variety of remixes giving you plenty of choices to work the floors and airwaves, making it next to impossible to pick a favorite... An essential release not to be missed.

South African production duo Liquideep (aka singer/songwriter/producer Ziyon and DJ/producer Ryzor) released their highly acclaimed debut album "Fabrics of the heart" last year in spring. Tribe Records have licensed the wonderful "Angel" from the album and give it a full release complete with fabulous remixes. The original is an ode to women and the blessings they bring featuring emotional vocals by Ziyon and silky smooth melodies over a laidback backing. The remixes are courtesy of DJ Spen & Gary Hudge who give the song a timeless feel on their signature urban-esque mixes, Sean McCabe who goes deeper on his sublime organic workout and Zepherin Saint who adds his beloved afrocentric rhythms and gentle melodies.

South Africa's Sci-Fi Productions are on a roll as they present the third musical gem within just a couple of months with "Zithande" by Lilac Jeans, the trio of Ayaya Socikwa aka DJ Aya, Linda Sikhosana aka Menu and Floyd Nkonyane aka Floyd. "Zithande" features the vocal talents of Snash who impresses with her sensitive rendition of the lyrics which are accompanied by delectable melodies, all perfectly arranged over a spellbinding backing. Menu turns up the heat on his 'Club Edit' guaranteed to cause a stir on the floor, Floyd relaxes the feel on his percussive 'Caribbean Groove Mix' oozing with sublime jazzy keys, and last but not least DJ Aya gets groovy on his deep and smooth yet contagious 'Spring Mix' laced with lush keys. Essential.

Back in April 2008, we were blown away by Jephte Guillaume and Wiltrud Weber's "Blue & deep" and celebrated this outstanding production with the words "..with its spirit and the uplifting vibe, this one must be considered an innovative masterpiece." The two went back to the studio together and recorded a full album which is about to be released in the next few days, continuing what the single started almost three and a half years ago. Each of the songs is an unheard-of combination of Wiltrud Weber's sensual operatic singing with Jephte Guillaume's intricately organic orchestrations and melodies - from the first to the last second you will be taken on a one-of-a-kind musical journey. In other words, "Blue & deep" is a seminal album taking dance music to a whole new level with its spirited, revolutionary sound and approach.
