It's not a problem that I can't fix, coz' I can do it… IN DA MIX ISSUE17

Say kids, wot time izit ? It's time 4 house ! Countdown is definitely on as
this Independance Day W.E. in NYC sees some serious things happening. First
is Harmony this friday, a benefit community event brought by srs Lee & Marcus
dis Friday nite in order to collect funds for the airing of Jennifer Hooper's
Liquid Sound Lounge on WBAI, one of the (too) rare house radio shows in the
Big Apple. Enlisted are 10 DJ's including Andrea Clarke-Sister from Another
Planet, Clete, Adam Warped-El Gato Musica, Shan-Cloud Kickers, Brazilian Beat-Black
Betty, Kotema Noble-Kassanova Lowlite and Siren-House of Siren. Not talking
about a three hours DJ set by our sis, Jeaanie + a special live performance
by Tortured Soul. This, happening at Art Land Bar, 609 Grand Street,
Williamsburg, Brooklyn (more infos : 001 718 599.9706. www.liquidsoundlounge.com). The
ideal thang to get you in the right mood as funk/soul diva Chaka Khan is to
rock da floor on saturday for a PA at Summer Stage in Central Park, prior to a
marathon DJ concentration at Clubshelter, starting from 07:00 PM til 05:00
PM the day after, with contributions from 'Little' Louie Vega, Kenny Dope, Danny
Krivit, Phil Asher, DJ Spinna, Frankie Feliciano, Jazzy Jeff and Glenn
Underground around resident Timmy Regisford (more infos : (001) 212-719-4479.

Meanwhile the following Thursday will be the starting point of Sunslice
festival in Toulon (France) with la crème de la crème of the deep house
scene featuring Blaze, Kerri Chandler, Dennis Ferrer, Jerome Sydenham, JoVonn, DJ
Deep, Pascal 'Rotax' Rioux, DJ Bool and Jerk House Connection, The Offsetters,
Kardek, Hanna Haïs and many others + yours trully (more infos :
www.sunslice-festival.com). And for those who're gonna miss this and more
particularly Blaze, the Cheers team in Paris has managed to offer us an extra session with the two
guys, not on Friday at La Coupole as usual, but on Sunday 07/13 starting
from 08:30 PM wit' a BBQ party at la terrasse du Jardin d'Acclimatation, avenue
Mahatma Gandhi, metro/subway Sablon, line/ligne 1 (more infos :
www.cheersparis.com).

Please note that IDM will go on a lighter rhythm as the summer goes along,
due to some DJ sessions of your very devoted here and there, some studio
seesions for the recording of my next CD-Mix awaited somewhen during the
autumn on London label Seamless Recordings and, last but not least, some summer break.
As concerning In Da Mix network, a new member joins the family —
www.deephousemafia.org — spreading the good words to Vienna, Austria.
Welcome on board. Butfor now, time 2 go back 2 the fundament of dis rendez-vous with a new
selection of some of the hottest audio vibes around…

Boys, boys, boys… Or shall I say Blaze, Blaze, Blaze, almost everywhere at
the same time with a solid collection of relifted wax of their own, not
mentioning their latest production — "We Are One" — on King Street ! Get on
one hand broken beat keyboardist, Kaidi Tatham aka Agent K, on the other, brit
songstress Carleen Anderson and on the third, either DJ Spinna on the B-side
or Blaze on the A-one, well no need to wait anymore as you get one of the most
soulful piece of plastic of this year 2K3. A pure jewel originally released of Laws
Of Motion that receives a new life after being licensed on Giant Step with the
indeniable know how that is their !And the same oughta B said about Reel
People featuring Jag's newie entitled "Second Guess", another true soul gem from
Papa Records, a UK label fast making a name amongst the purveyors of
quality. Slightly more dancefloorish is the 'Blaze Vocal Soul Mix' of "So Close" from
Electroacoustic, a british trio that sees bassist Nick Seymour and vocalist
Aurora Dawn around former Brand New Heavies lead guitarist, Simon
Bartholomew (Outer Recordings). All of this following the footsteps of their rework of
the recent DJ Jorj's "Only You" and its sunny jazzy mood (Distant Music). Not
too bad indeed, like Shelter Records' last dope — "Agua" from Javermeyer
featuring brazilian vocalist Naughty Miranda — and its Extended Version edited by
Timmy Regisford givin'it some subtle arrangements.

Swedish (nu)jazz fan, Marchus Enochson gives us another slice of beauty with
the 12" release of the aptly named "Feeling Fine" on MAW that sounds like a
contemporary equivalent to the late Chet Baker's works due to its absolute
purity (check out the 'Suedo Jazz Mix' on da B-side). As aerial although
more beat tapped is Needs' latest "Dark World". A concept somewhere between Ron
Trent's works and the memorable Life On Earth leadin'us into this kind of spatial
groove that makes their trademark with some vocal parts not too far away
from the Pet Shop Boys' tones ! Feels like this will shortly be an anthem (Needs
Music). Nice to see the return of former Ten City front man, Byron Stingily with the
magnificient "Sweet Dream" associated to Yasushi Ide under the name of
Lonesome Echo Productions. A real soul classic enlighted with old school
violins line + latin percussions and if this was not enuff, this marvel is coupled with a
deep'n'crispy contribution from Osunlade on the B-side called "Soul
Galactic" (Disrorient). Don't really know when Ben Mitchell is sleeping as it almost
seems that he has something on offer every week. This time, Dewburry's
partner reforms with Cosmo and Gav (from Disorient), delivering us the soulful
"Upstream" under their Tidal moniker, featuring the vocal talents of
Jennifer. For sure, these people have a proper idea of what's supposed to be good muzak ;
not talking about some x-tra broken beat delicatessen as delivered by Lok8 who's
none other than Orin Walters (Disorient).

Loads of good things to come out of Italy these days, as shown by Fuzz
Against Junk's latest. A big band jazz tune that reminds some previous works
from Joe Claussell, Antonio Ocasio and erh… Ben Mitchell ! Needless to say that
this corker is for absolute music lovers. This added to a Nicola Conte mix on da
flipside. Ma che bellissimo (Location Recordings). In love with this kinda
vibez ? Well, check out the "Not Alone" track by Sure Pleasure and more especially
its "Sure Pleasure Dub" mix as it feels like deeeep heaven boomer (Irma).
Ending up dis issue 17 with another mediterranean maestria under the form of
the vibrant "Musica Feliz" from Rodamaal, a french portuguese production team
with the vocal support of Nicinha, smelling holidays like hell (Buzzin' Fly).
Welcome to a promising new summer,

Peace,
MFSB
