Here’s the 3rd part of the house mix. You should check out part 1 and part 2 as well, if you haven’t already.

The first track is a dubby vocal house track by MKL and Soy Sos who are also responsible for the 3 Generations Walking project. The title of their new compilation MKL presents Suits and Dashikis, displays their point of view, roots music with an urban style. I’ve always been a fan of their soulful & spiritual music, and I guess I remember this song from before, the vocals by Zapology are truly heartfelt and unforgettable. The second track from the camp is “Midnight Bustling”, 3 Generations Walking’s timeless & overlooked classic with Zapology’s wise lyrics, this compilation features a Francois K version, but I won’t spoil the fun and post the FK one, but go back to the 2003 original, so you can go out and spend your money on something nice like this album.

I’m not particularly into the brokenbeat / house scene but UK’s 2000 Black label owned by 4 Hero’s Dego has released “The Good Good vol. 3” with some fresh urban brokenbeat house variants. The opener by Cherie Mathieson is totally urban radio friendly, with a good synthbass and laidback vocals and rhytms but the real gem of this album for me was Assassino Daninha’s Amizade, that takes the traditional bossa beat and adds a lively synth hook and a flute lead on it. Doesn’t the opening melody strangely remind you of the Mission Impossible theme?.

The Last track is from the Italian nujazz collective Montefiori Cocktail. 90’s Spaghetti Jazz at its best with Italiano vocals, loungy atmosphere, cool drinks and Vespas! Mamma Mia!
