Dear Joe,

Just a few more days until the famed Miami conferences. This year we celebrate our 13th Anniversary with a special afternoon event at Opium Garden. Before Miami, be sure to stop by Cielo for a special LIVE performance of Sunshine Jones (formerly of Dubtribe Sound System) with percussionist Michael Sultan. Details below. Of course this wouldn't be a King Street newsletter without mentioning some forthcoming hot new tunes, so please read on and hope to see you all on South Beach!
Big Love,
joeB
















According to Billboard Magazine, BBC Radio 1 with Pete Tong, Dance Music.about.com and other reliable sources, King Street Sounds (along with Defected) held ìThe Song of the Conferenceî in 2005 with Blaze feat. Barbara Tucker ìMost Precious Loveî. This year we continue to make a heavy impact in Miami by collaborating with some of the best talent in clubland.

As the burgeoning dance music scene heats up in South Africa, one of its forefront house labels, Sheer Music with partner Soulcandi, takes on the King Street and Nite Grooves catalog to further represent house music to the fullest extent. They also currently have deals with Defected, Hed Kandi and many others.

SoulCandi Records releases albums & compilations through a joint venture with Sheer Music. Together they have achieved 5 Gold Status albums including SoulCandi Sessions 1 & 2, Dj Fresh ñ Definition of House, Simunye House Grooves Vol.2 & Mekonko Vol.3. Some of our current Djís/Artists include DJ Mbuso, Claude, Clive, Fresh, Roger Goode, Fistaz, Tira & Sox, Nutty Nys, Ganyani, Tokzen, QT and many more. We will be putting a lot more focus on SA produced house music so expect many more local artist albums and local based compilations in the near future

Picture yourself on the dancefloor at a club in deep space (or maybe even at Francois Kís Deep Space party at Cielo) where youíd probably hear this tune. Deep, floaty, & synth-washy with a definitive digital pump. Japanese production team Agora Rhythm returns to Nite Grooves and certainly doesnít disappoint. ìViajeî, meaning trip in Spanish, is a nice spacey ride as described above. Meanwhile, on the flipside we have ìCrossroadsî; a completely different rhythmic crossover putting one in a different head-space. Slow bass drum, banginí timbales & electric guitar riffs give this more of a toned downtempo with a latin-tribal feel. Even though the rpmís have been reduced, the record still maintains itís strength giving further credence to Agora Rhythmís superb, varied, & unpredictable production ability.

NYC DJ and Producer Will Milton returns to King St. with a lovely new double A side. He's actually had a few tracks previously released on Nite Grooves including Mya's smooth groove "Come To Me" ìThe Tripî ñ a smooth Georgio Moroder-esque instrumental ride that downshifts the beats into a smooth journey with its synthy keys and funky rhythm. Wil says he was influenced by ìThe Chaseî on this particular track and we can see why. Nice one! ìGravityî ñ This track is named after Wilís current biweekly party here in NYC. Local up and coming vocalist Rodney Carter caresses the track pushing us ever so deeply, farther and farther into the underground, just as Gravity does here on Earth.

KSS 1226 ñ Release Date: 3/6/06 - OUT NOW!
Mix the Vibe mixed by Doc Martin EP Part II Riding high on the heels of the Part 1 EP, this follow-up is sure to rock the house. Legendary DJ Doc Martin was recently chosen to mix the 15th Anniversary edition of the critically acclaimed Mix the Vibe series, and stemming from the album will be this available-on-vinyl-only second EP. On it are more classic tracks culled from the King St. catalogue and two on this EP have been re-worked by Doc himself adding more punch and pump to their original flavor. LYís ìBack To Zanzibarî has truly gone off the deeper end and Johnny Dangerousí ìEmerald Cityî has been seasoned with additional vocals. Two more tracks grace this EP. ìTouch the Grooveî by Lenny Fontana presents Eastside Movement and ìCome Homeî by Kerri Chandler feat. Wilma Beckford; both in their original guise but previously unreleased. A gem of an add to any house DJís box.

KSS 1225 ñ Release Date: 3/20/06
Abstract Latin Journey mixed by Julius Papp Taken from Julius Pappís very first mixed CD on Nite Grooves being released in Spring of ì06, four very different tracks adorn this first EP, available on vinyl only. Three of the four available are previously unreleased mixes of well received singles. This new mix Matthias ìMattyî Heilbronnís ìThe Greatest Thingî is simply jazz-tastic containing the ultimate key riffs! We hear Myraís ìCome to Meî is a total relaxing downtempo version of the original. Grammy Award-Winning Remixer Louis Vega aka Groove Box hits us on the B-Side with the Beats of his ìLatin Ritualî track and following that, the original of Julius Papp featuring Gina Rene, ìA Thousand Yearsî brings this EP full circle. The latter mentioned is the only track re-released as is but some things we feel are best left untouched and ìA Thousand Yearsî is perfect just the way it is.

KNG 250 - Release Date: 3/20/06

Thanks again for your continued support and hope to see you in the Miami sun!
