Soul Heaven celebrates its 10th birthday this year. Having been the corner stone of all things soulful house, Soul Heaven makes it’s mark with a fantastic triple CD compilation and if that wasn’t enough it’s only compiled and mixed by long serving resident the one the only Louie Vega.
Louie has been involved with Soul Heaven right from day one. Louie and once Soul Heaven owner Oli White discussed about showcasing Soulful House to a bigger, wider audience. Enter Gareth Cooke and Simon Patterson whom were running Rulin at Ministry of Sound and the beginnings of something very special was born. It was decided that Bobby & Steve, Jeremy Newall, Phil Asher and Chrissy T would become the London residents, joined by Andy Ward. The Soul Heaven name came about when Oli & Simon heard the Pasta Boys mix of Soul Heaven in the box at Ministry and the perfect name was chosen for the perfect night.
In 2003 Bobby & Steve parted company along with Jeremy and Chrissy but by this time a brand new team had been established with Phil Asher, Andy Ward, Aaron Ross & Neil Pierce, soon to be joined by new owner Fleur Woolford 2004. Soul Heaven parties (House Music touched by Soul ) always create a great buzz of excitement whether it’s a sell out season in Ibiza with Louie Vega, a classy pool party in Miami for WMC or capacity road block event for Masters At Work at MOS. Soul Heaven has had a long standing residence at Ministry of Sound in London and has hosted parties in America, Australia, South Africa, China, Thailand, Korea, Indonesia & closer to home in France, Germany, Spain, Italy, Holland, Portugal & Switzerland.
Soul Heaven has played host to some of the biggest names in house music from International residents Little Louie Vega and partner Kenny Dope (plus of course MAW) to, Tony Humphries, Barbara Tucker, Jazzy Jeff, DJ Spen, Osunlade, Joe Claussell, Ron Carroll, Kerri Chandler & Dennis Ferrer, Blaze, Terry Hunter, Karizma & Mr V all who have contributed either at their live events or have mixed for their now established series of compilation cds. As Soul heaven enters it’s tenth year it was an obvious choice to have international resident Louie Vega mix our latest CD celebrating 10 years Of Soul Heaven.
Disc one is all about the cutting edge, fresh new sounds that are popular with Soul Heaven.
“I wanted to give you new flava as we always did at Soul Heaven. It’s about good music for us. There are many producers and artists creating hot & fresh music that should be recognized” Louie Vega
Disc 2 reflects the vocal house sound that Soul Heaven is famous for, while Disc 3 is a respectful and nostalgic nod to 10 years of Soul Heaven by Louie, the residents and owner Fleur Woolford, who all choose classic tracks from the last ten years, each chosen with their own special memory.
“Ten Years of Soul Heaven” perfectly encapsulates the essence of one of the world’s leading labels by refusing to simply compile a ‘greatest hits’ CD and therefore continuing in the pioneering spirit on which the label is based.
