Soul Togetherness 2011 15 Modern Soul Room Gems – Various Artists 2x LP Vinyl (Expansion)

The SOUL TOGETHERNESS series is back with it’s TWELFTH instalment and another collection of FIFTEEN modern soul room dancefloor monsters. Music from the USA, Japan, Australia, South Africa Venezuela and the UK combine on yet another essential selection of the year’s finest new music and revivals. As Japan becomes a force in fine new soul music we bring you this year’s killer cut by SHUYA OKINO (of Tokyo’s Kyoto Jazz Massive)i while from Australia we showcase for the first time in our series, Electric Empire, fresh from Glastonbury! From the USA, Heston, Kelly Price, Mary Mary, Deborah Bond, They, and Rahsaan Patterson have been huge on the dancefloors this year, while in revival we present Sharon McMahan with some Philly magic “Maybe You’ll Be Back”, exclusively here. From South Africa, Nothende perfectly captures the flavour of 2011’s dancefloor with “Celebrate” (in the year we celebrate Expansion’s 25th anniversary); we get a taste of Venezuela disco courtesy of London based Los Charly’s Orchestra; and from the UK the best of this year’s top tunes from Sarah Fonteyne and Reel People – Expansion
