I haven't been a consistent follower of this label.. they've been around for a really long time though (in record label years, that is). But one recent release I really like is the Jerry The Cat: Mating Ritual 12", flip to the "Theo Parrish beat freak remix" -- which I THINK if you listen closely you can hear a sound of one of the early Elevate records get sampled, like a hissing cymbal that comes in an out. It's pretty cool... Maybe I'm crazy but if anyone else has both of these records do check it out. I think the source track might be Subterranean?.. it was one of those un-credited Elevate records with the blue labels, not Theo's "Baby Steps" one w/ the red label.. (I always understood the blue ones to be Dan Bell in deep house mode, and they are most excellent cuts) Also (trivia) Jerry The Cat did percussion on "You Forgot" track on Sound Signature... and apparently has worked with a mess of Detroit producers. <http://www.soireerecords.com/release/srt127.htm> Check it out. Peace
