Need2Soul has Bank Holiday Sunday on lock
House | Thursday 20th August 2015 | Christina
Need2Soul is back with a super special all-dayer on August 30th, this time at East London’s most unique venue, the Round Chapel in Hackney.
Headlining the party are two founding fathers of Chicago house Glenn Underground & Boo Williams, both playing extended sets as Strictly Jaz Unit to celebrate their forthcoming album’s signing to Need2Soul Music, set a for a relaunch this year. Local spinners Sam Don and djsoulprovyder will be warming things up from early doors, and outside there’ll be gourmet street food stalls for essential refuelling ahead of these epic sets from a pair of masters.
Meeting on the Chicago scene in the early 80s, while both were DJs at seminal clubs such as The Power Plant. Boo Williams became somewhat of a production protégé to Glenn Underground and Glenn’s early productions found their way into Boo’s tape deck, sparking a life long mutual respect and creative relationship. Glenn founded Strictly Jaz Unit (with Tim Harper) in 1996 alongside Boo - a project that has rendered some of the most deep and soul lifting music in house history and one that’s still alive and kicking today.
Established in 2005 to house some of the unreleased material spun at the legendary early parties, Need2Soul Music has experienced a hiatus in recent years, after putting out killer original music from house greats such as Ron Trent, Robert Owens, Roland Clark, Anthony Nicholson and of course Glenn Underground. Making a welcome return a decade on, the original ethos prevails with a brand new album from Strictly Jaz Unit slated for the label in autumn.
Keeping the old school ethos alive, Need2Soul operate with integrity in madly oversaturated modern clubland, providing a journey back to halcyon days in a fresh London setting.
