(313) Blaze in London
I think it was Ken who was talking abut Blaze not playing out - well dont know how I ended up on this mailing list but it looks as though they are playing Turnmills on the Saturday of the bank holiday weekend.. On Saturday 27th August Blaze make a rare UK performance as they make their debut at Turnmills. Blazes contribution to House music is epic boasting one of the most impressive bodies of production spanning from Lisa Stansfields' pop dance hit People Hold On to their own classic Can't Win for Losing they have been at the forefront of the house music. Blaze aka Josh Milan, Kevin Hedge and Chris Herbert started writing music together in 1984. Childhood friends who met at their local church choir, Chris was a vocalist who wanted to record, Josh was a natural musician who played with the church choir and Kevin was a DJ who spun locally at parties around their native Newark, N.J. The three decided to form a production team after Chris introduced Josh and Kevin and encouraged them to became a recording group. Blaze has influences that run from Stevie Wonder to James Taylor to John Coltrane and beyond. But it is the deeply soulful melodies, their blend of Afro, Jazz, Soul and Gospel added with, the positive world view in their lyrics, influenced heavily by their childhood heroes Earth, Wind Fire. While their older friends danced the night away in NY clubs like Zanzibar and the Paradise Garage, Blaze began to lay down the prototype of their sound assimilating the music of the day and adding a more electronic and fundamentally RB based spine. With DJ Kevin at the controls, Josh the piano man on the synthesizer and the lead vocal stylings of Chris, they turned out song after song for other artist and producers to record. Some included This Time by Colonel Abrams knock off Hunter Hayes, One Man by Chanelle and Reachin' by Phase II. The three ultimately signed their first record deal with the newly formed Quark records in '85, producing three major club hits of the time; Whatcha Gonna Do, If You Should Need A Friend and Can't Win For Losing. After 19 years on the scene Milan and Hedge are still producing relevant hits today as they did back in '85. In their own words they see themselves as tools being used by the universe helping to bring lyrical messages and melodies to the world, music is communication. Ideas come to us from the spirit of creation.. Over the past year they have come out of their self imposed exile to in NY for some exclusive dates and Turnmills represents the last time to catch Blaze this year! Joining Blaze is another of New Yorks musical luminaries Kenny Dope Gonzalez. Together with recording partner Louie Vega there has been no greater presence in house music for over a decade. As producers, their style and stunning polished production saw them remixing dance acts and pop starts alike, utilising their soulful DJing style, whilst as individuals their DJ performances continue to enthral crowds. Whilst Louie comes from a soulful, Kennys versatility is his talent. Fusing dirty Chicago and Hip-Hop beats to his house music sound with sunning technical ability, Kenny is a Master at Work. Get down for this monumental sound clash. Cheers BT

Re: (313) Blaze
'Gloria Muse' is easilly my favorite Blaze track. Otto and I each pooed ourselves both of the two times Ron Trent played it @ DEMF '02, soon before it was released. Also, if you have the opportunity to catch one of their rare live performances, don't sleep. Was lucky enough to see that in NYC this May. Really excellent, if not the most stunning 'liveness'.

It's a totally different song - it's not a cover version of 'Lovely Day' by Bill Withers (although it sorta borrows the title). Sorry if someone already pointed out. The Beloved version is sweet (although the original is still my favourite.) Also check the Freaks Radioactive Dub. Approriately sick! Errrm, on a Blaze/Shelter tip, yesterday I found 'The Groove Project' by Nick Jones on Shelter. Actually from '97, but IINM the copies currently circulating are new pressings.

not an album, but a e.p. black rascals 'keeping my mind' on sumo. one of the great deep house tracks. i've always thought it weird that blaze has become popular in the last few years when their production in the last five years or so seems but a mere shadow of their early work. but i guess that's just my personal taste. james From: Maarten Baute [EMAIL PROTECTED] Reply-To: Maarten Baute [EMAIL PROTECTED] Date: Sat, 11 Jan 2003 18:42:49 +0100 To: 313@hyperreal.org Subject: (313) blaze Hi, can someone point me out wich albums from Blaze are essential?

RE: (313) blaze
Second those who said '25 Years Later' on Motown. Indeed it was their first LP, but you look for a discography and it's hard because they've simply done so much, including remixes (maybe excluding) we could be over a hundred. 'Basic Blaze' is ace. 'My Beat' *is* deep (to me). Can't say 'I Remember House' is their finest moment but the LP 'Spiritually Speaking' is overall v good (imo). If you can find them, two older (c.89) slices of quality are Phase II - 'Reachin'' Phase II 'It's A Mystery'. There's also an LP in '89 (yes, an LP but wait) called 'Paradise Regained'. In fact, it purports to be a compilation (it is, kind of) featuring different artists but it's really Blaze under about ten different psuedonym's feat. various vocalists. (Except the last track, which is 'Gonna Miss Me' by Turntable Orchestra.) It's got another vers. of 'Mystery'.

If you want to learn how Blaze has progressed throughout these last decades, try to get a hold of Pure Blaze 1 and 2 on Easy Street Records. 2 slices / 8 tracks each. PB 1 is early house stuff, PB 2 is more recent and includes Delacy's Hideaway among other fine songs.

Re: (313) blaze
Keeping My Mind is record number one on my wants list. I agree, it's strange Blaze have become popular now that they're not quite as on it as they were. Still, they come out with some quality cuts, and I think Natural Blaze was their best album. I don't have much to add to the recommendations, of early stuff my favourite's Sometimes Love by Jerry Edwards on Easy St. I don't know why this wasn't on either of those Pure Blaze compilations?! If You Should Need A Friend and Reaching stand out from then, too. They really got going in the period up to '94, I'd say, with the stuff on Sumo, Polar etc. Mid Nineties stuff like Debbie Pender, with those organ basslines, helped define that UK garage sound (for better or for worse), and Moonwalk is perhaps my favourite Blaze record ever. It'll be tracks like these they'll be remembered for, I imagine, rather than the likes of Star Suite. I think innovative house probably largely lies elsewhere these days.

I totally agree: it's about EPs not albums, but as far as albums are concerned 'Natural Blaze' on 'Life Line' (2001) is (IMO) their best. But back to their EPs, my favorites: - 'Trans-Jazz EP' on 'Simplex Records' (1996): Features 'Lovelee Dae' and a great cover of 'Time Marches On'. - 'Directions Part 1' on 'Spiritual Life (1998). - 'The Blaze Tracks EP' on Nuphonic (1995) which features my favorite Blaze track ever: 'Moonwalk'. - 'Klubhead EP' on 'Smack Music' (199?).

RE: [313] blaze
Apparently it's already found its way onto the net. The bits I've heard are really good. There's some tracks with more of a traditional jazz structure than I've heard from Blaze before, or maybe just more live musicians. Some of it is a little too cookie-cutter Blaze deepness with lamentations of the current state of the dance scene that get tiring after awhile IMO, like the track thats getting played here, Do You Remember House. Don't get me wrong its fantastic, I was just hoping for more. Here's something from Slip 'n' Slide about the bootlegging: Bastard Bootleggers...MAY THEIR DAUGHTERS GROW FACIAL HAIR.! Hiya Peeps and Peepettes, Sad news has come forward indeed... Blaze's new Album Spirituall Speaking is being raped as we speak...

From around the same time check out their other work on labels like Quark If You Should Need A Friend, Movin' (check Before The Storm's I Got The Music and aforementioned Phase II Reachin') or Easy Street (my favourite Blaze track from this era's In-Sync feat Jerry Edwards' Sometimes Love). in collaboration with Dave Lee (who one could say is a well-known 'Brit Fad freak', but I wouldn't dream of it ;o). The rest of the tracks were mostly by Blaze under different names. I can post details Weds. Dave Lee (aka Joey Negro), I think, is about as far removed from a fad freak as you can get! I don't know of anyone as deep in the disco spirit as this man. Sure, he's had his pop hits, but this man is disco through and through. Success or no. Check out his excellent Sunburst Band releases on his own label Z, or many of his wicked remakes. I've come across the names Hedge, Milan, Herbert so often on 'anonymous' disco-house records from the early '90s, I've almost stopped noticing. Far from anonymous disco house, Blaze are, if any group are, the most deserving of a chapter to themselves in the big ol' book o' house, from the 90s. Check out any of their classic work for Shelter, Funky People, Simplex, Area Code (Love For You never leaves my bag). Their production of Debbie Pender's Movin' On, alongside fellow New Jersey musicians, Smack and Kerri Chandler, helped define that UK garage sound (like it or no). Check out the comps on Easy Street, Blaze Productions vols 1 2 to see how massive they were in the 90s. Those signature Moog solos on Moonwalk and others are far from anonymous disco :) A closer analogy would be with That's The Way OF The World era EWF, I reckon. Funnily enough, Blaze themselves are probably entirely unaware of their influence. They admit to knowing hardly anything about contemporary house music (KDJ? who's that?) beyond what they get at the Shelter. Or so said Timmy Regisford. Apparently they have a massive loft studio in New York, which they rarely get out of. Oh, and their Motown album was heralded by Motown execs - after they dropped them! - as one of the best 20 albums (I think) that the label had released! Of course, Blaze didn't stop making fine music in the 90s! They're at it more than ever now.

[313] Blaze
An outfit called Phase II in the late 80s/early 90s, had substantially the same members Most famously, Reachin'. From around the same time check out their other work on labels like Quark If You Should Need A Friend, Movin' (check Before The Storm's I Got The Music and aforementioned Phase II Reachin') or Easy Street (my favourite Blaze track from this era's In-Sync feat Jerry Edwards' Sometimes Love). in collaboration with Dave Lee (who one could say is a well-known 'Brit Fad freak', but I wouldn't dream of it ;o). The rest of the tracks were mostly by Blaze under different names. I can post details Weds. Dave Lee (aka Joey Negro), I think, is about as far removed from a fad freak as you can get! I don't know of anyone as deep in the disco spirit as this man. Sure, he's had his pop hits, but this man is disco through and through. Success or no. Check out his excellent Sunburst Band releases on his own label Z, or many of his wicked remakes. I've come across the names Hedge, Milan, Herbert so often on 'anonymous' disco-house records from the early '90s, I've almost stopped noticing. Far from anonymous disco house, Blaze are, if any group are, the most deserving of a chapter to themselves in the big ol' book o' house, from the 90s. Check out any of their classic work for Shelter, Funky People, Simplex, Area Code (Love For You never leaves my bag). Their production of Debbie Pender's Movin' On, alongside fellow New Jersey musicians, Smack and Kerri Chandler, helped define that UK garage sound (like it or no). Check out the comps on Easy Street, Blaze Productions vols 1 2 to see how massive they were in the 90s. Those signature Moog solos on Moonwalk and others are far from anonymous disco :) A closer analogy would be with That's The Way OF The World era EWF, I reckon.

I agree. 21st century music is a world class place to find stuff. I think I've picked up over half of my Patrick Adams collection from that place at amazingly reasonable prices.

If peeps aren't sick of this thread by tomorrow, I will post details of 'The Garage Sound Volume III' Rumor/Republic (1991) which features Blaze too. Also Colonel Abrams (I kid you not) Dave Lee, Larry Heard (I wouldn't lie to you) Paul Simpson (the same one) and Kirk Degiorgio(!) ... Unless someone else has it too and wants to spare me the toil between now then.

Re: [313] Blaze/Theo P - confused
I haven't checked the site but it sounds like it is the second side of the Live in Detroit tape which *does* start with the end of the track off Blaze's Artful Noyz EP. The next track is Overyohead. If you've got the wrong info off of me, sorry, but the Blaze track starts on side A, so I put it in there on my list. As per usual, email me offlist for a full tracklisting. As for other mixes on the deephouse pages, all the Ron Hardy ones (of course! especially the one where he plays Catch Me On The Rebound) and the Brian Borden ones (deep, classic disco; check out the one where he plays Roy Ayers' Chicago) are the ones I keep going back to. Jonny. hi it would be great if somebody could help me with this. I really dig the first track of side A of the theo parrish mix on the deephousemusic site (http://deephousepage.com/) but the side A on the site is actually side b of the full mix. I think the track is actually Blaze from the artfull noyz EP not theo parrish's overyohead which the tracklisting i have says. could somebody confirm this. Also does anybody know where i could find this Blaze track (in australia would be awsome). hope its not to confusing. thanx Sam (ps does anybody recomend any other wonderful sets on the house music site, theres to many to chose from)
Re: (313) Blaze stuff
Blaze continue to be the shit for me, Jason, I'm a HUGE fan of their stuff. Many bands hit their peak and then fall off, but with My Beat and other things in the last few years (and obviously Lovelee Dae), they've kept it going strong from the old to the new. don 't have a discog. though. andrew duke :) Batory, Jason wrote: Just been listening to: Incognito - Fearless (Blaze Shelter Dub) sweet, and on Andrew's site: Blaze--If You Should Need A Friend (Friendship mix) (US Quark/1987), 1987!!

Signed to a contract with Motown (ostensibly for their RB/pop crossover potential) in 1989, the trio of Josh Milan, Kevin Hedge and Chris Herbert issued one solid album for the label before embarking on a career short on LPs but long on stellar productions for a variety of artists. The production wing of Blaze, namely Milan and Hedge (the latter a former gospel singer) began as early favorites on the New York/New Jersey garage scene of the mid-'80s. The pair, both DJs and fans of Tony Humphries' sets at the Newark club Zanzibar, began producing in 1984 and made a name for themselves two years later with a pair of garage classics, If You Should Need a Friend and Whatcha Gonna Do (with vocals by Colonel Abrams). Remixes and additional production for British synth-popsters ABC led to a recording contract with Motown in 1989. With semi-permanent vocalist Chris Herbert added to the lineup, Blaze released their debut album 25 Years Later in 1990. Though the single So Special did well in the clubs, it wasn't quite the crossover Motown expected and the group was dropped. Though the major labels had enough of crossover house music by the early '90s, there was still a major independent market for the music. Milan and Hedge continued to produce and record, both separately and together, during the decade. In 1994, they wrote and produced the British Top Ten hit Hideaway by De'Lacy. Three years later, Blaze added Tee Alford and returned with another club hit (Lovelee Dae) and their second full-length, Basic Blaze (recorded for the UK-based Slip'N'Slide label).
