Agreed, there are many many great gospel house records, and many not so good
ones. A few of my favorites are:
Kenny Bobien, Why We Sing I Shall Not Be Moved
Su Su Bobien, I Can't Keep It To Myself
Vernessa Mitchell, Higher
Kerri Chandler, Hallelujah
For a release with the gospel house sound but
TP has a semi-regular gig on Detroit Public Schools' radio (90.9) Monday
gospel house show and it's always very fun and entertaining. I love that
garage-gospel house that he plays even though I can't relate to all of it.
And his ability to work a mixer and efx...incredible!

As I heard on the Detroit public schools radio station here this
morning--the cuts are the result of two things: a state-wide 55 cent per
pupil reduction, and a federal reduction due to the fact that other cities
(like the D.C. public schools) are getting a bigger share of previously
allocated
Relating this to music, I personally fear that the DPS radio station will be
forced to make drastic cuts in staff and programming. This is probably one
of the few stations in the country to have a daily house show from 4-6p with
guest DJs 3 days a week--folks like T. Parker, Rick Wilhite, Minx, Al
I think the more obvious answer to this puzzle lies in who will benefit from
the 35 million. Suburban law-makers are willing to help Detroit if they get
something out of it in terms of contracts and a big urban playground for
sports, clubs, condos, etc. If it's just money for helping city kids
Last weekend I grabbed this new Prescription Record (PRI 001A) titled ABYEE
by Armon Bazile, with tracks Deepblak'd on A and You In Love on B. Ron
Trent doing AR. I really like this record, although it has a kinda slick
and airy production. However, the beats on both tracks are open and sparse,

I posted part of an interview w/ D May on Sat. It was in Motormouth monthly (a

Kling Klang is Kraftwerk's studio in Dusseldorf, Germany. It is named after
an early Kraftwerk song of the same name from Kraftwerk 2. The studio, or at

Yeah, I think there must be some frustration going on for Derrick to be so
open about the money problems in his interviews. I'm guessing sporsorship is
a major issue. In Detroit there's always going to be this extra race factor
thrown in when dealing with the major sponsors. While Derrick tries to
