DustyRose & RossyBoy's Crossing The Divide

The big pond may keep me far apart from my Chi-town sister Rose, but it does not stop me looking longingly at her music collection and other assets ! It’s been a while, but we finally managed to get back together for another collaboration. We’ve been playing that Double Cross game again – we each send the other six tracks and then come back with another six in response, so the tracks are in pairs. DustyRose is the ideal collaborator for this game as she has such an extensive set of soulful gems, great taste and fantastic knowledge of the genre. So she constantly surprises me with her picks. We hope you get some pleasant surprises here too; there should be some new ones for everyone’s collection. Enjoy !

Familia Souldiez Vol.8 - The Trackz Of Our Tearz

You know how it is when a large family tries to get together. Something always gets in the way of the whole crowd managing to get to the party. Maybe work interferes; perhaps someone is away traveling. But, on the other hand, sometimes a prodigal son will turn up unexpectedly. Most of the regulars are here for our six-monthly offering. G Man has dropped another great cover. The autumn barbecue has hamburgers sizzling; there are cold beers and chilled wine. So let's just get this Familia party busting loose ! As always these are the Firmest tunes we can come up with. Let's hope there are new ones here for you and that you appreciate what the krew has brought to the table.

Oldtimer Souldies Series No. 10 - Philly Flavors

The Veteranos have thrown away their zimmer frames and are struttin' their stuff once more! We're continuing our Soul Tour of U.S. cities, after our summer break, with the city of brotherly love, Philadelphia. We define Philly Soul as tracks performed by an artist who was born in the city or recorded in the city. No shortage of candidates for Philly then, with its fabulous soul heritage! As usual, these are our favorite tracks so you'll find plenty of familiar sounds for a trip down nostalgia lane. But you may well find something a bit more unusual for your collection too. Since we're label guys anyway, we've included some extra info on each track this time round, since that's the kind of stuff we swap among ourselves anyway. That's the legendary 60's Philly DJ Sonny "The Mighty Burner" Hopson on the cover. And I can't help but question whether Sharon Paige ever sounded as sensual as she does on track #14 ?? This ol' veterano just drools over such music! Enjoy, and and let us know what you think so we can be stimulated for further exertions. RossyBoy for The Veteranos
