Next Saturday on May 22nd in Moscow, we’re gonna drop a special party, so called “The First Russian Soulful House Gathering“. The idea is to gather all local soulful DJs and addicts from all over Russia together to meet and greet each other. We’ll have a gig with many of Russian soulful DJs spinning along with, hopefully, massive communications and experience sharing activities. If you’re soulful head in Moscow or around, please do consider coming and meeting peeps like you, do not miss a chance to see lots of local soulful DJs performing. If you’re not in Russia, you will probably have a chance to see and listen to us via my UStream.TV during the event – starting May 22nd, 19pm GMT.

In a meantime, I’ve put up a spontaneous promo mix with strictly classic soulful sounds, and can’t wait to share. Enjoy!

Siberian Kolonki Recordings grew up to its 19th release in April hooking up with more and more famous artists. A great US vocal duo, David Walker and Melonie Daniels, both with a long history of working with mega stars such as Mariah Carey and Marc Anthony, fired up “Dance With Me“. On remix duties, Audio Sol (aka Duane Harden), subUrban (Jason Michael Webb from Bronx), Swiss Gene Douglas and, most delicious for us, Kolonki very own Deep Vintage with stylish Disco Re-blend and Afterhours Dub (as seen in Fresh Stuff of 91th Summer Fondue).

Dutch label Drum Mode on March 22nd releases “Love & Understanding” from Polish producer DJ Dervish and LA house diva Pepper MaShay. Among 10 tracks, soulful lovers should def pay attention to last three, from Russian producer Eugen Lisin. In fact, you’ve already heard them in a couple of summer 2009 Summer Fondue’s, now they’re finally out. Soulful, Funky and Lisin & Paul Vine versions sound slightly different, but richly instrumented and uplifting.
