Soulfood pres. Waterfall "Beach music EP2" (AX Music)
AX Music continue to celebrate the summery season of the year with the second EP in their "Beach Music" series, offering three more tracks courtesy of Soulfood who present Waterfall. All three tracks are pure deep house bliss, featuring beautiful keys over nicely crafted backing grooves that altogether create a groovy yet laidback feeling perfect for chilling. (Michael Fossati - www.spiritofhouse.com)
This is the second instalment in the Beach Music series, the first of which I lavished praise upon a few weeks back. This time around there are three further tracks to choose from kicking off with "Ocean Waves" complete with its endearing keys and smooth strings. "Sandy Beaches" has a strong bass groove and a mellow vibe that makes you dream of blue skies and golden sands. "Rounding things off "Playa Del Sol" has another cracking bassline, crisp beats and more keys and synths. The EP is more about atmosphere and subtlety than sending you scurrying to the dancefloor and that suits me just fine. (Dean Serafini - www.jjazproject.com - USA)

Some Reviews :
Soulfood pres. Waterfall "Beach music EP1" (AX Music)
AX Music celebrate summer with the first EP in the "Beach Music" series courtesy of Soulfood who present Waterfall. Three deep house tracks to choose from, with "Sailing" being a funktified affair featuring melodic keys and jazzy piano alongside female vocal chants, while "Clear water" uses a jazzy piano over a deeply yet smoothly thumpin' groove. Lastly "Tropical sunrise" is on a more laidback tip, featuring sweet percussion and lovely keys over a mellow backing groove. (Michael Fossati - spiritofhouse.com)
Back in the day, proper house music originated in the USA, either from Chicago or NYC. Then the Italians came along at the end of the eighties and tore up the rulebook turning house music into a global phenomenon. Nearly twenty years on Italy's Ax Records' fourth release is a three track EP which has all the depth and soul I've come to love in house. All three tracks are distinctive: "Sailing" is a warm yet moody number with female vocals and classic strings. "Clear Water" combines traditional pianos with a throbbing sub-bass vibe, gregorian chants and a variety of effects.think Innocence from twenty years back. "Tropical Sunrise" is a laid back lying on the beach kind of groove with rolling bass and gentle keys; I can just imagine lying on a beach in the Mediterranean flat on my back, eyes closed with clear blue skies above with this on my IPOD. - Review from Dean Serafini (www.jjazproject.com - USA)
Ax Records pres:"The Beach Music" series E.P. This is the first of 3 to come.
Lets examine EP 1 :
"Sailing"--Hear the music flow like a waterfall and let it get into your soul..Very nice track.
"Clearwater"--Another nice instumental with all the right elements added keys,flute and flowing rhythms is just a pleasure to listen to by itself.Very Tropical...
"Tropical Sunrise"--Here is another example of how tropical music should sound like,what I mean is the arrangements and quality are clean and lovely..(DJ SammyRock - Cyberjam Radio)
"Last song" by Soulfood feat. Deby
Some Reviews :
Soulfood feat. Deby "Last song" (AX Music)
Right in time for summer, Soulfood return with an uplifting vocal track. "Last song" features a mesmerising vocal by Deby over a smooth backing groove that is enriched with a relentless piano alongside classy strings. The 'Club Mix' is the a pumped-up affair that replaces the piano with great keys, while Blue Deep take the original and rework into a groovy dub with a sligthly tougher beat. Lastly there is the downbeat 'Lounge Mix' that is all about a wicked organ solo, lovely guitar and the vocals - perfect for chilin' and dreamin'. (Michael Fossati - spiritofhouse.com)
"Don't be blue" by Soulfood feat. Deby
Some Reviews :
Soulfood feat. Deby "Don't be blue" (AX Music)
Soulfood (aka Franco Martinelli and Massimo Sottini) present their latest production "Don't be blue" on their own, brand new label AX Music. Featuring a sweet'n'sexy vocal performance by Deby, the uplifting "Don't be blue" comes in a variety of flavors. The 'Vocal Mix' is a groovy affair featuring wicked keys over a stompin' groove, while the 'Soulful Mix' is on a smoother tip that relaxes things a bit, giving it more of a laidback feel. The 'Original Instrumental' uses a deeply thumpin', percussion enriched groove as base for a jazzy-funky instrumentation. (Michael Fossati - spiritofhouse.com)
This track found its way to me about a week ago and to be honest, I deserve a good kick up the posterior for not reviewing it sooner. You can expect a rich warm production style utilising a variety of keyboards and live bass to compliment Deby’s moody vocals. With two vocal versions and an instrumental included; so far I’m going for the “Soulful Mix†(review by Dean Serafini - jjazproject.com)
