Much as I love the Creative Source version of this track, it's the Bill Withers original that rocks me most. As ever the edit's something I've primarily put together for my forthcoming sets, but that may see a limited release some time in the future.
One forthcoming date for the diary. On Friday 27th May, I return to Big In Japan at the Book Club in Shoreditch. Really looking forward to this one as I'm playing alongside Touchsoul, someone I first met through Soundcloud (always good to meet your virtual mates in person).

Probably the most left-field track I've been involved in for a while. This one's a dark Balearic disco chugger that's heavily influenced as much by old school Weatherall productions as the mid tempo grooves Cottam has been releasing over the last year or so. Most definitely music of the late night/early hours variety!
It's released on Paper Recordings on June 7th with other mixes on the package coming from Ralph Myerz & Flash Atkins (promos are due to drop now for those on the Paper list). If you haven't already heard the album it's taken from, check it out @ http://tinyurl.com/6l5sjte - it's one of the most original albums I've heard so far this year.
My favourite mix of Jhelisa's 'Friendly Pressure' beefed up and rearranged in time for those sun drenched days ahead. Hopefully seeing a limited vinyl release some time soon.
This is very much in the same vein as Grapevine Boogie in that it takes the familiar and sets it in an unfamiliar place. It was put together for this years Vintage festival (proud to have been asked to play in the Greg Wilson / Jack Hemingway curated space called The Studio) which is happening in July on the South Bank.
Daptones style rhythm production meets sweet eighties vocals in a detroit warehouse!
As ever, really hope you like and hopefully see some of you this Sunday for the Disco Deviance/Discovery Easter jam at the Horse & Groom in East London - http://tinyurl.com/5tpur35
Having taken a look back in the archive I realised that it's been over 6 months since the last installment of Acid Soul, so here goes with part 5 (part 6 will follow next week).
For those of you waiting for the Cry Me A River release it's finally available through Traxsource - http://tinyurl.com/6b22qb2
And an advanced date for the diaries because the tickets are flying out the door on this one. I'm playing alongside Dicky Trisco, Pete Herbert & the mighty Bicep boys on Easter Sunday at the Horse & Groom all day and nighter. Further details from http://tinyurl.com/5tpur35
