Transitioning into the more soulful side of house, we're working our way up to the weekend.  Starting things off, we've got the always amazing vocal talents of Andrea Love with the Praise Cats.  "Shined On Me" is a wonderful slice of gospel house full of meaning and uplifting spirituality.  In fact, the first four songs pretty much cover that same territory with some heavy hitters like Ron Caroll, Robert Owens and yes, even the fabulous Evelyn (Champagne) King who climbed back into the business last year.

I decided to break away and move into the garage funk of Joey Negro's 'Sunburst Band'  and "Man of War".  If I had to describe this song, I'd say it was a mashup between Isaac Hayes and Edwin Starr.  Steeped in 70s funk, Joey has a knack for making something old sound fresh again.  In order to keep things moving, I spice things up a bit with the Latin sounds of Da Lata and Diabel Cissokho's "This Is Not Your Job" and the classic "Cada Vez by Negrocan.  Not to be complacent, I quickly move into the old-time (we're talking 20s maybe 30s) style of "Why Don't You" by GramophoneDzie.  Clearly, this is some sort of mashup stripped from a very old 78 (your great grandparent's records) and sliced and sampled together with some house.  The end result is amazing!
Finally, I slip back into some new jack funk with "I Gotcha Back" by Charles Dockins before closing it out with the soulful sounds of Byron Stingily's latest "100% Stalkin...
