It’s a long time we haven’t heard from Israeli Avi Elman (aka UPZ) and his label soWHAT. The new release comes on January 14th: South Africa’s Qness with vocals of Malehloka sung in Zulu language with a chilled beautiful soulful affair named “Uzongilinda” which means “You will wait for me” in Zulu. Story tells that it was first heard by Avi Elman on Qness’s MySpace and immediately picked up for his label. The package includes 15 (omg) tracks with remixes from UPZ himself (very nice soulful), Abicah Soul (also unexpectedly soulful), and a bunch of deeper ones: from Rancido (Dutch), Euan Mitchell (British), and Sbonza, Infinite Boys, Mindlo (all three from SA as well).

Our Swiss fella Roberto De Carlo reveals his new sound in the almost-anniversary 80th release of Purple Music on January 15th with “Electric Soul Power” featuring vocals of long-collaborated Colin Corvez. We’ve heard him on Roberto’s “You Are the One for Me” in summer 2009 as the first track in De Carlo’s new authentic sound direction of the 80’s disco funk, and back in 2004 on the same Purple in “Ready?!” by One Touch (that’s actually Roberto De Carlo together with Mirco Esposito). The title says it all: it has soul and a bit of electrique. Simon Grey as co-producer and Dario D’Aattis on the remix. Recognize.

One of the last releases of 2009, on December 29th 2009 Shifted Music dropped the 2nd part of Jay-J feat. Charlene Moore‘s “Love Alive” (from Jay-J’s album of the same name) remixes. Besides Christian Alvarez and Genelec mixes, this EP is noticeable for the rework from Denmark’s Soulmagic: their Classic Mix utilizes piano, guitar and live bass being all classic elements, though sounds a bit like recent remix for Shane D’s “Silence“.
