Would you not come back from Detroit by any chance?
what????
(Hey what up doe ?? I just came back from DETROIT CITY !!!)
Ok, you thought I'm gonna make it in English,
we'll stay in French, that's safer.
This is the return from the summer holidays, welcome to The Circle!
First I am going to slow down the pace, so The Circle will be a bi-monthly program .
That will provide more time to prepare each program as well as introducing surprises and novelties.
After one month in Detroit, I came back very inspired by the city,
the people living there and of course the music and dance.
That's why this program and the next one will be dedicated to Detroit.
I am going to tell you about Lemonlime EP of Leron Carson
released in 2016 on the label Sound Signature.
There is very little information upon the artist, so I will linger over Sound Signature label.
For the second part, I have a video for you that I am rather proud of
with 5 Detroit dancers within a magical spot in the city.
Leron Carson was an artist from Chicago
who released a couple tracks on Detroit label Sound Signature founded by Theo Parrish.
Sadly, he passed away last year at the age of 45
This EP is a tribute to this producer who was a close friend to Theo Parrish
Leron Carson's discography counts 4 releases on Sound Signature:
"The 1987 EP",
"Red Lightbulb Theory",
"Red Lightbulb Theory '87-88'",
"Tracks From The Tape"
and finally "Lemonlime" released in 2016.
This EP contains 2 crazy tracks: FACE A – Lemonlime 10minutes of heavy house
with a melody and riffs from Leron Carson
whom I'm sure will stick in your head and make you dance
FACE B : Sof N Thik, 5 minutes track in a deeper and sweeter mood really feeling like Chicago's House style.
Let's talk about the label : Sound Signature is Mr. Theo Parrish's label
who is a great House music producer.
This label counts more than 100 releases, essentially from Theo Parrish himself
This label will celebrate its 20th anniversary this year,
I let you do the math…
...it actually means it has been created in 1997. These guys are still there !!!
This label put several artists in the spotlight such as Jay Daniel, Geology, Byron The Aquarius
and more lately Thomas Xu & Julion De'Angelo especially
with 'Chase The Summer' on 'Roots That Talk' EP, definitely THE late summer's track in my opinion!
In a nutshell, releasing a vinyl on Sound Signature is an artistic quality proof
and establishes quite some fame in the House music community.
In Detroit, there is 2 very typical House visions that started within the same time.
From one side KDJ and its branch Mahogani founded by Moodymann,
on the otherside Theo Parrish's Sound Signature.
KDJ follows Soul & Funk tradition taken from Motown, Parliament and Funkadelic
while Sound Signature is more based on experimentation
and a more contemporary version of House.
What I really appreciate with Theo Parrish is that he loves dance and putting dancers in the spotlight:
he is the only House artist having bringing House dancers during his tour "Teddy's Get Down".
Speaking of dancers, we are getting to the second part.
I prepared a little surprise with 5 outstanding dancers from Detroit.
Gehrik Mohr...a.k.a: "POSEIDON", dancing since the 80's, passionate about House dance & House music.
You maybe saw him besides Theo Parrish during his tour Teddy's Get Down or in the music video of Footwork.
Javonntte Garrett...Detroit producer and dancer.
He learned Jazz during more than 10 years as well as other music genres.
And wait for it, he toured with Aretha Franklin as a dancer during 12 years.
Dredre, Old style dancer, always in a good mood and smiling.
I met and exchanged with him through dance cyphers in Detroit.
Haleem Aka Stringz, dancer who mixes several dance styles among them the Jit, a dance originally created in Detroit.
He is also the founder of the collective 'Hardcore Detroit'
Last but not least, he released a DVD about Jit pioneers entitled "The Jitterbugs"
available for sale on the web that I strongly advise to buy if you are eager to know more about Jit.
And last but not least, Kafani Detroit dancer who also lived quite some time in Senegal.
You can see him in Waajeed's latest music Video – Shango.
Not forgetting a surprise guest in the end, all of it shot in a magical and powerful space:
The Michigan Building, an abandoned theater in Detroit.
Let's go! Let's dance!
Ah, this was just an excerpt, you can find the whole video on my YouTube Channel as well as through the link in the description
Big up to all dancers who participated in the video,
Fred for the shooting,
Mr Bee (Christophe) who hosted us in Detroit and does the subtitles for my YouTube program as well.
Alia who helped us discovering the city
and all the people we met or crossed paths with during our trip.
Thank you!
bisous!
