Richard Earnshaw, HP Vince – That’s It (Extended Mix) – Duffnote
This track is so funky! Loving the delayed Rhodes. Well done again Mr. Earnshaw.
Pat Bedeau, Hannah Khemoh, Anna-Marie Johnson – What’s The Answer? (Extended Version) – Bedfunk
Such a topical theme. So much strife in the World. We really don’t know what the answer is either, but we can kick back and enjoy this smooth track while we all figure it out.
Paul Parsons – A Secret Friend – Gimme The Night
Blissed out Disco! Nothing better. How many times do you hear flute solos these days? Answer. Not nearly enough! Powerhouse vocal performance is the cherry on top of this delicious ice cream treat.
Ben Westbeech, RAHH, Aeroplane – Whatever is Missing In You, Aeroplane Motion Extended Mix – Glitterbox Recordings
One of our favourite labels. Glitterbox delivers the goods! Soulful vocal call and answer to this one. We are suckers for a good call and answer! “Whatever is Missing In You” is another gem from Glitterbox.
Skydoll – Summertime (Richard Earnshaw Extended Sugarsoul Remix) – Skydoll Records
Being a little cheeky here including our new release, but I think we can be forgiven when you hear Richard Earnshaw’s masterpiece remix of this track! Summer Is On! Grab your swimsuit, hit the beach and blast this track from your boombox. Summer 2025. Let’s celebrate it!
Millie Jackson, Opolopo – We Got To Hit It Off (Opolopo Deeper Remix) – Cosmos Music.
We were lucky to have Opolopo work his magic on a remix of our very first release, “Feel You.” He does not disappoint with “We Got To Hit It Off.” And Millie Jackson is a liberated woman who is not gonna be no man’s fool. Respect!
Michele Chiavarini, Pete Simpson, Ezel – Staring At The Sun (Ezel Remix – Extended) – SPRY Records.
Our last release was “Electric Love” featuring a beautiful remix by Michele Chiavarini. Love his style. Chiavarini’s special touch is quite evident on this mix with contributions by Pete Simpson and Ezel.
Sam Ruffillo – House Tipo Cosi (Extended Version) – Sultra Records.
The chorus on this tune is pure FUN!
Dave Leatherman, Bruce Nolan – Way To Go – Nouveaudisque.
Can’t resist bopping your body along to this beat. Infectious!
Gwen Dickey, Michael Gray – If I’m Gonna Be With You (Michael Gray Extended Mix) – Sultra Records.
Too many current compositions miss the opportunity to create catchy and melodic verse lines. The choruses get all the love and the verses are treated as just a means to get to the hook. Michael Gray reminds us those verses are opportunities not to be missed.
Skydoll ‘Summertime’ (Incl. Richard Earnshaw Remixes) will be released on all platforms on July 4th 2025 on Skydoll Records.
