The Dirty Dozen - The Best Of 2022... Part 05 (Feb 2022 Wk 05) Spotify Playlist


My selection of the best releases this week (Feb 2022 Wk 05)
In no particular order other than tempo. 

Well after a drought since before the festive period and the floodgates opening last week the drought seems to have returned with very little of any consequence being released before Friday with not as many releases as usual on Friday and even fewer that stood out.

However, there's always a few diamonds in the rough but you do have to dig deep for them. Possibly the find of the week is an album, which appears to be a debut, from Daniel Leon (discovered by D-Mac and given the nod to me by Franklin Sinclair on Friday) which has two killer cuts, both included in the dozen. However, apart from one other track, there is not much else on the album for soul lovers. Another predominantly pop album from Ricky Duran turned up two good tracks.

The Ty Juan album was released on 26 Jan which I slept on until Tuesday. Many have picked up on "Good Love" but the killer track for me is the deep ballad featuring Keni Myles "When & If" and that is the track I'm choosing as SoulStrutter Selection of the Week.

A new artist well worth looking out for is Kinzoogianna (aka Anna Stubbs) who released a debut single on Friday and has another due on 4 Mar from a forthcoming debut album.

A 'certainty' for the dozen this week would have been at least one track from the Ivy Lo "A Love Ride" EP but oddly it seems to have now been withdrawn, but will include in the usual weekly mix on Mixcloud to follow as it was received on promo.

Destiny II [2022] - Play 2 Win [Z Records #ZEDD 12333]


Back in Dec 2020 I posted a YouTube mix of Dave Lee in action live mixing a two hour set "Record Room Sessions #1". I managed to identify most tracks except three. I received an anonymous comment today on the post (possibly by Dave himself?) stating that one of the tracks I couldn't identify is a brand new track due for release next Friday (11 Feb 2022) by Destiny II "Play 2 Win".

It's available on Traxsource with three mixes "Destination Boogie Mix", "Taste The Bass Dub" and an acapella version.

This is what Traxsource says about it:

Destiny II - Play 2 Win is a brand spanking new piece of original boogie-style house featuring a whole host of live players and all carried along by a driving live bass line. Vocals come courtesy of New York soul diva Angela Johnson, who nails this positive song. Dave Lee adds his incredible production talents teasing in some Prelude Records style modulating synth sounds in the second half of the tune. Add some vocoder and dub fx in all the right places and you've got something that might just rock your disco socks off.

SoulStrutter Top 30 - 6th Feb 2022 (Week 05)




The SoulStrutter Top 30 of the most viewed posts in the last 30 days (i.e. blog readers choices).

Lindsey Webster returns to the top spot having been knocked off by Ania Garvey for the last two weeks, but Ania's reign is over as the 30 day since posting limit has been exceeded but it is still receiving plenty of views.

There are nine new entries with highest being Donnell Isaac's new album with the Devon Howard remix and Sydney Renee' hot on his heels (who surprisingly hasn't entered sooner). Last week's SoulStrutter Selection of the Week from Zsa enters at #11.

Looking at the days on chart we will have at least eleven new entries next week as this chart highlights the most viewed posts that have been posted in the last 30 days..
