DJ Patti Kane - Resilience (TMG Records)

An underground house music legend, DJ Patti Kane began DJ’ing in the early ‘90s and hasn’t looked back since. Based in Newark, NJ, she was inspired after witnessing Larry Levan at the Paradise Garage and was mentored by Deep Master Ryan of World Paradise. Continuing to build on these roots, Patti runs Women On Decks and produces her House Royalty mix series, nearing 350 mixed episodes. And now she’s joined forces with the dedicated house-heads at TMG Records for the release of her bangin’ new single, “Resilience.”

A soulful slice of deep house elegance, “Resilience” opens with a tough kick drum, a groovy guitar riff, and atmospheric bell-like pads. The song develops with more musical layers providing the backdrop for a jazzy live flute line. Soon a saxophone joins the flute, and then an uplifting trumpet solo takes the track home. In addition to this original ride, the single features an ‘expansion’ that focuses on the flute riffs and a ‘rhythm edit’ which concentrates on the track’s groove. These sounds will deliver late night dance floor bliss.

Steeve Sam - Feel Alive (Trower Music Group)

Trower Music Group presents another fine discovery, the talented, golden throated vocalist Steeve Sam. This Haitian-American, New Jersey native is no mere newcomer with songwriting and vocal credits for reggaeton platinum act Baby Ranks and on St. Joe Louis’ recent single “Blood Sunday.” Steeve teamed up with producer J’Shon Trower at the TMG Records studio for a soulful, vocal house production titled “Feel Alive.” With a subtle afro-beat influence and Steeve’s signature soulful layover this deep cut successfully convey’s the song’s message to “always reach for the golden moment of feeling alive.” Breezy synth pads and gentle piano melodies add to the track’s flavor making it a special late-night offering. J’shon himself continues to redefine the house sound of New Jersey with his Broken Beat Mix, pulling “Feel Alive” into deeper, more exotic territories. A punchy breakbeat rhythm lays the foundation for this dreamy version that pulsates as it flows with Steeve Sam’s vocal line perfectly accentuating the beats. It’s another magical moment carefully crafted by Trower Music Group and featuring the production prowess of DJ J’Shon.
