Soulheaven Records Presents Andy Ward & Sofina Rubina Streets Of Sun

Andy Ward, resident Soulheaven DJ, presents his first solo production for the label.

Having already provided “In-ten-City”  as Soul Central, this time he brings a track which started out as a stripped down, Deep House instrumental.

After hearing Estonian songstress ‘Sofia Rubina’ in action whilst performing on stage, backed by a live jazz band, there was no other voice Andy wanted to finish the track.

Together with the help of Sofia, Andy Ward has delivered one of the strongest vocal packages to date on the label, and one which is sure to be a massive summer hit, this year and beyond.

Most notably within the package is the Heavyweight Mix, a collaboration between fellow resident and Restless Soul hero, Phil Asher, providing the signature drum programming, along with the musical sophistication of Bah Samba front man, Julian Bendall.  Between them, a truly epic track has been produced and we are very excited about this mix.

Fellow Birmingham duo DeepCitySoul provide a driving, bouncy dub for the livelier floors, while close friend and fellow Estonian to Sofia ‘SpinScience’ backs up these mixes with an acid influenced interpretation.

Andy’s Original Mix and the full Acapella accompany, finishing off the project in fine style.

Soulheaven have a beauty in their hands with this upcoming release by DJ and producer Andy Ward, featuring the highly talented Sofia Rubina on vocals. “Streets of the sun” is full of energy yet keeps the overall feel soulful, including phat atmospheric synth melodies and sultry vocals by Sofia Rubina over a deeply thumpin’ groove. The gorgeous ‘Heavyweight Mix’ relaxes the vibe and takes the track to deeper grounds, with Phil Asher on drums and Julian Bendall from Bah Samba playing the keys, while the ‘DCS Mix’ is an infectious deep house gem on a slightly rougher tip featuring spacy keys. Lastly the ‘SpinScience Dub’ takes the track to late night territory with spaced-out synth melodies. (Mike Fossati Spirit Of House)
