Search - Osunlade :: King Street Goes Yoruba

The "Ile Orin" (House Music) ritual continues on this 19th edition of the acclaimed Mix The Vibe series with none other than spiritual ethno-producer and ordained priest in the West African religion of Ifa, namely Osunlade. He invokes a veritable mix of uplifting soul, light tribal dance, and deep grooves to grace this King Street Goes Yoruba debut comp, featuring everyone from dance legends Blaze, Mateo & Matos, Larry Heard, Roy Davis Jr. (aka Infinity) and Kerri Chandler to modern electronic wunderkinds Tiger Stripes, Studio Apartment and Quentin Harris. Among the slew of King Street & Nite Grooves releases, Osunlade mixes in artists from his own heavy head-nodding imprint Yoruba (another term for his religion) Records, such as Afefe Iku, Oveous Maximus, and Gabriel Poso. He is the most profoundly spiritual producer weve ever featured on the series, joining 18 predecessors of the highest ranks of House DJ/Producers from Joe Claussell, Ron Trent, Grammy Award Winners Louie Vega & David Morales, Teddy Douglas & DJ Spen (aka Basement Boys & Muthafunkaz), to Danny Krivit, Tony Humphries, and a ton of others who superbly compiled and mixed these compilations in the past.
