Summary: The Greek House Collection (Soul Fever) First of a mini-series of Soulful House sets mixed in Greece during a break from it all. Let’s first credit a friend of mine, Gilberto Blackmon (The Funky Blackman) whose podcast you will find here on Podomatic: http://funkyblackman.podomatic.com/entry/2016-07-04T19_32_20-07_00 and on our Facebook Page site “House is a Journey”: https://www.facebook.com/MyHouseJourney/ As some may have noticed I have not touched any Soulful House for more than half a year. I could not even attempt to put any soulful sets together so bored and actually literally without any emotions about any soulful tunes I was listening to. Not receptive, no challenge and felt no purpose. Yet during my July break, whilst riding a bike in 37C heat, on a high gradient, suffering hell, I chose to listen to his latest set, deep & soulful and “Εύρηκα”... I finally got that warm feeling again, which can only be brought by listening to quality soulful deep house. Thank you Gilberto, without your help, this state of creative impotence could have lasted a lot longer. Mostly 2016/2015 tunes, one oldie and a triple Marc Evans because I always think of Marc Evans when I delve into Soulful. Playlist: 2015 Soul Fever (Max & Sims Remix). Max & Sims ft.

Angie Brown, AM2PM Highlight: Without a doubt the Hungarian Max & Sims’ rendition of “Soul Fever” is the absolute standout of the set. Stellar tune, Echodust is an amazing vocalist and the production of Director’s cut standard. I started the set with their remix and ended it with AM2PM’s version with a different vocalist which is not bad either. https://www.facebook.com/maxandsims/ https://soundcloud.com/maxandsims https://www.beatport.com/artist/max-and-sims/376906 Both Marc Evans’ jams, “Beneath The Crescent Moon” and “Felt Like Heaven” are soulful house heaven with his unmistakable voice and inspired melodies. Marc Evans is the Barry White of this century and I actually rate him immensely higher as a singer song writer and producer, all in one go, with lyrics have meaning to boost his already immense talent. https://www.traxsource.com/artist/2165/marc-evans http://www.bluesandsoul.com/feature/318/marc_evans_on_the_brink/ https://www.facebook.com/marcavonevans Love Midnight City ‘s “Just Like That”, a gem of a happy tune, please go on traxsource and buy the release all remixes are perfection. https://www.facebook.com/Midnightcityukofficial/ http://www.traxsource.com/artist/239946/midnight-city Finally, do not miss Deep Grounder’s “Feel So Alive”. Another great melody, another soulful pearl with again immaculate production. (continued)
