Clash DJ Mix | Osunlade

The funkiest history lesson you ever did hear...



The Funk. Everybody wants it, some people just don’t have it – and never will – and others are very much endowed with it. Soulful house hero Osunlade is undoubtedly one of the latter, today giving you the funkiest history lesson you ever did hear.

Born in the US but now firmly rooted on the paradisiacal Grecian island of Santorini, the producer has long been an inspiring name within the deeper side of house music, but his passion for more organic sounds (flexed beautifully on 2009’s ‘Rebirth’) has always given him a fascinating edge over most.

It’s this propensity that shaped Osunlade’s Clash mix, a selection of raw, rare funk and soul cuts encountered during his formative years. The grooves are heavy, undeniable and golden, with several of the chosen tracks featured on the crucial 2010 compilation ‘California Funk’, which unearthed various undiscovered funky wonders from the late ’60s.

Osunlade explains more about his mix: “This is a soul funk recollection of the music from the inner regions of the States from the mid-sixties to the late-seventies. It’s the type of music I grew up listening to, so I wanted to explore it, as most people only know of the mainstream soul music that was on major labels.”

Lady Alma | It's House Music

)

Yoruba Records is honoured to bring to you the incomparable Lady Alma.

Coming from the roots of that Philly soul sound, she quickly became synonymous with house music. Her powerful voice and empowering lyrics lift generations to fully understand self-worth and self-love.

Osunlade is a force within the foundation of house music. Born at the intersection of funk, jazz, blues and rock n roll, he injected new sounds into house with his pristine production and respect for the harmonizing roots of all music. These two dynamic souls join forces in an explosive song.

It's House Music takes us back to a time when one would stand in the alley of the warehouse district in sub-zero weather to hear the latest grooves of the night, dancing till dawn and emerging only for breakfast and a bed. It's House Music’ will have you dancing all night long with its infectious hook and anthem to house music itself.

Lady Alma's soul stirring powerhouse vocal perfectly marries the mood and movement of this multidimensional sonic offering. This mix will have the world passing the plate from the dance floors of Chicago, Detroit, New York and Philly to the shores of Cape Town and Nigeria.

Osunlade | featuring Supreme | Sour The Plan

With roots planted very much in the early jazz and soul influences of his formative years, 'A Man With No Past Originating The Future' is the latest album from Osunlade, one of the most creative and versatile producers and artists of his generation.

The American-bred, Greece-based producer has made a name for himself with his brand of soulful, African-inspired house music.
His latest full-length continues in this vein, with a highly organic sound palate and sumptuous rhythmic sensibility. The album features a guest appearance from a newcomer named Supreme, who lends vocals to the politically charged "Sour the Plan."
In addition to a CD release, Yoruba will issue 100 copies of the album on clear vinyl.

Yoruba will release A Man with No Past Originating the Future on January 28th, 2013.
