The father of silky smooth soul and r&b Teddy Pendergrass passes away aged 59 BBC reports: He was the first black male singer to record five consecutive multi-platinum albums in the US.

Our good friends at Soul Clap have released a free EP of rnb edits. Aptly titled the FreE.P., this 3 song EP is all “dancefloor tested” material. We trust ‘em with our hearts, just check out how they transformed Aaliyah’s Rock the Boat into a funky deep house hit.

Philly soul boss Vikter Duplaix has released his second studio album Bold and Beautiful on UK’s Barely Breaking Even also home to Roy Ayers, Will I Am, Osunlade, J Dilla. He’s worked and studied with artists such as Teddy Pendergrass, the late Luciano Pavarotti, King Britt, Kenny Gamble, Jazzanova, Clara Hill and more and he’s also released for K7’s prestigious DJ Kicks.
