Housey Doingz

Many find that the late 90s UK tech-house scene takes of a lot of picking through. The musical terrain is littered with an awful lot of throw away material which just sounds dated when placed in today's context. 'Housey Doingz' was a production collective which involved Nathan Coles and Terry Francis, the founders of the aclaimed label and clubnight 'Wiggle,' and the releases below are an indicator of the kind of jewels which are up for grabs with a little of digging. Gobstopper lays rooted in 80s electro whilst Fonki and Curly Wurly nod to a murky acid sound, but both still cater to and ooze a UK dancefloor sensibility.

Latina Cafe - Power to Conquer (Yoruba Soul)(2000)

Jazzy stomper from the early days of Yoruba Soul, another Osunlade alias it seems. Hypnotic groove with some beautiful chord arrangements. Would love to know a bit more information about this powerful vocal if anyone recognises it.
