Title:	Aquarian Moon
Label:	BBE (UK)
Format:	CD
Price:	$15.00
Catalog #:	BBE 073CD

"Multi platinum selling producer Osunlade will surprise his house music disciples with a return to his soundtrack scoring origins. This album tells of his love affair with the beautiful Greek Island of Santorini & pays homage to its rich unspoilt culture. Sonically it describes his experience, full of feeling, opening a window into what was going through his mind while he was a resident. Recorded live over a 12 day period, this is a stunningly beautiful soundscape, taking house tempos, and lushly orchestrating them with strings and divine horn solos to produce a masterpiece. Although very deep and ambiently solemn, the album still has huge dancefloor potential. A wide range of rhythms and timbres run deep through out the album, from traditional African influences, to fat breaks, to jazzy broken beats."

"Osunlade is a globally renowned DJ, sending dancefloors across the world into a frenzy with his trademark deep spiritual house sound. When he plays, he parties as much as the very people he is there to entertain. There are very few DJs who feel the vibe they're spreading the way he does. Osunlade is no stranger to BBE, having produced one of the highlights of the Exit Music album (an epic cover of Radiohead's 'Everything In Its Right Place'); the beautiful live concept album Aquarian Moon, inspired by a visit to the enchanted Greek Island of Santorini (so inspiring that he moved there), plus numerous remixes including DJ Jazzy Jeff's 'Rock With You' and Roy Ayers' 'Tarzan.' Regarding the direction of his newest mix, Osunlade says, 'Passage is an exploration into the current transition of deep house through a more electronic, minimalist sound. I chose songs that I felt were consistent with what I understand as soulful, yet exists in the territory of tech. The mix begins as most of my mixes, with a nice build, vocal impressions and carries onward to a more freelance style of the genre.' The mix features his own productions, as well as prodigious talents mentored and enriched by his guidance, such as Boddhi Satva who has evolved a very minimal, yet spiritual sound."

Title:	I Don't Know

Format:	12"
Price:	$9.00
Catalog #:	YOR 115EP

"Osunlade's star continues to rise -- Osunlade, ordained priest in the African religion of Ifa, continues to release deep spiritual nu-soul and house music with African influences. This song 'I Don't Know' was originally one of his first ever releases over 5 years ago and has been unavailable for many years and in demand ever since. Stripped down and reconstructed with new mixes for 2006 as a taster for the forthcoming Yoruba Records retrospective shortly to be released on Soul Jazz Records. Osunlade started Yoruba records in New York and has gone on to release a stream of quality deep house and nu-soul tracks either featuring his own music or productions -- many of which have became classics and are very much in demand today."
