Club killer, no doubt. The flipside is a bit of a mess, with the wax being heavily marked, and the labels badly trashed….like this was sitting on the end of a stack unsleeved at some point. Thankfully, that’s not the side you’re looking for! Clip; https://db.tt/6njhJrgH Brown's Chapel Young Adult Choir - 'Roll Jordan' (HTB) G+ (some dirt on the label) Price in US DOLLARS = $75 Another big club cut…debuted this at Go Go Children in Bristol to a full dancefloor in 2013.

I'll see how many promo copies come in from the label, and get back to you, sir!

I'm excited to announce a new compilation I've been working on for Cultures of Soul Recordings....presenting 'Divine Disco: American Gospel Disco 1974-1984'....officially licensed CD and double vinyl containing a snapshot from a ten year time period of great forward thinking, uplifting dance music. Here's a teaser, presenting one of the grittier offerings from the Gospel Ambassadors.....full release details and tracklisting etc, coming to you soon! https://soundcloud.com/culturesofsoul/gospel-ambassadors-thank-you-jesus

Here's the 57th installment of The Divine Chord Gospel Show which appears monthly on dublab.com, broadcast on 23rd March 2016. To kick off this months show, we head to midtempo territory exploring killer cuts from the Soul Superiors out of Chicago, as well as touching on two great underground labels, Memorial & HSE. The last few months have neglected slightly the deep soul portion of the show, so for this session we've extended it a tad...some real beauties are spotlighted here, from raw indie pressings, to some more gold from the ever reliable Champ stable. We close out this month with a snapshot of big funk bombs, from established artists on the gospel soul scene. Huge club tracks from Willie Banks, the Messiahs of Glory & the Sensational Williams Brothers. But it's the Shirley Caesar cut that takes the cake...a big tip for future greatness. It's an LP only track but watch this one explode! Feel free to join the facebook group 'The Divine Chord Gospel Show'!

Apologies for the delay in uploading the details for The Divine Chord Gospel Show pt. 57....here's the playlist for your consideration....the mixcloud link will be live shortly! Cheers!

Farley and the Original Soul Stirrers ‘Troubled times’ (HSE) The Soul Superiors ‘Don’t blame the children’ (Warfell) Silver Bell Singers featuring Theodore Rockmore ‘Step by step (Memorial) The Silver Stars ‘Telephone’ (Pioneer) The Royal Gospel Quintet ‘Hard and lonely journey’ (No Label) Talkset The King Brothers ‘Crying Lord remember’ (Champ) The Mighty Gospel True Lights (of Brooklyn N.Y.) ‘Family prayer’ (Elvitrue) Fantastic Stars of Belzoni, MS. ‘Going away’ (Fantastic Stars) Bishop R.J.

Please join me on dublab.com, Wednesday 23rd March @ 2pm US PDT (9pm UK time...CLOCKS HAVE GONE FORWARD ONE HOUR IN THE US, BUT NOT YET IN THE UK), for the next installment of the Divine Chord Gospel Show pt. 57, followed by another session of 'Time-Less'. https://dublab.com/ I'll be rolling out a bag of goodies ranging from mid tempo soulful vocal 45's before headin to a slightly extended deep soul section.....loading up the harmonies and focusing on the sparse heavy beats. Rounding off this broadcast this month with be series of uptempo funk cuts getting their debut spin....many of which are targetted for dancefloor destruction. If you missed the last show, here's the archived mixcloud link; https://www.mixcloud.com/gregbelson/divine-chord-gospel-show-pt-56-with-guest-dj-paul-sadot/ Also, please feel free to explore and subscribe to our youtube channel featuring some of the choicest 45's to be played on the show. We've just surpassed our 200th video, so please check it out and subscribe here; https://www.youtube.com/user/DivineChordGospel/videos?flow=grid&view=0 'Time-Less' is an infrequent broadcast, focusing on the beatscapes of 90’s club culture. Tracks that were forward thinking in production techniques, ground breaking in textures and time signatures but yet often forgotten. With the 2000’s came the advent of more powerful computers, easier accessibility to software and an ease to create at home; beatmakers of the 90’s had to either adapt or fall by the wayside. We’ll be unearthing some of the cream of the crop, that still relied on outboard gear, physical mixing desks and insane wired up patch bays to get the job done. With it came a certain warmth, particularly when it was arguably the last bastion of dance music to promote, press and present their music solely onto vinyl….it’s within these grooves that we’d like to celebrate with you a time in beat making. Join us as we spin the original format of what truly was a ‘Time-Less’ age. Check out a previous show right here; https://www.mixcloud.com/gregbelson/time-lessan-exploration-of-analogue-beats-pt-1/ Thanks everyone and see you there!

Yeah, 'Hold out' is an amped up version of a gospel cut from back in the day. The whole LP is heavily draped with gospel influences, and as somebody who has already heard the whole set, I can say it really is a powerhouse recording. Seriously, this is gonna turn some heads this year, both in execution, song writing, performance and production. Watch out, as they say!

Rev. Robert Welch 'He holds tomorrow' (Champ) Strong VG- Price in US DOLLARS = $350 + shipping from California **SOLD** This one turned many heads during last years tour. Stunning gospel soul which from my research, is proving to be genuinely rare for the label. Infinitely tougher to find than Sacred Four's 'Sombody watching you' 45....I would say that this is the 4th known copy in the collectors world right now. In the right hands, this one's gonna fly. Killer cut, no doubt and a bargain price for such a rarity. Clip is from the copy on offer. Clip; https://db.tt/Is0k7SBI

Here's a brand new mix focusing on the slower tempo soul offerings from back in the day. Six Four Soul concentrates on that amazing tempo that shuffles things along with a natural swing....6/4.

Here's the 55th installment of The Divine Chord Gospel Show which appears monthly on dublab.com, broadcast on 27th January 2016. Welcome along to the DCGS Best of 2015 recap....a selection of heater cuts that proved to ignite many a club session I played around Europe & the US over the last 12 months. Heavy hitting funk cuts from Chicago, Boston, Texas, LA....safe to say this episode went coast to coast. Huge future club classics by the Soul Lifters & the Dynamic Imperious as well as brand new, incredible music from Eli 'Paperboy' Reed. Then, we launch into modern soul territory, kicking things off with the hard boogie funk of Ronald Jerry. Watch out for the crossover beauty that is the Gigantic Overland Travelers, followed by the vicious modern cut by Bishop Croom. The ender by the Testimonial Singers is a whole 'nother beast! Big shouts to the NYC Downlow crew with the Don Degrate monster too! Feel free to join the facebook group 'The Divine Chord Gospel Show'!
