Bloompocket Jazz, ” this tune is a combination of sounds reminiscent of Earth, Wind, and Fire, George Benson, and the type of soulful house music you would hear on house music labels such as Soulfuric and Defected . Live vocals and guitar were provided by Los Angeles’ extraordinary jazz and R&B veteran, Daryl Darden . With velvety vocals reminiscent of Luther Vandross along with agile guitar-plus-voice unison improvisations and the chunkiest of porn-a-delic 70’s rhythm guitar riffs- lack of soul is simply not an issue with Mr. Darden. Additionally, some incredible remixes were delivered here as well by both Eric Davenport Christian Alvarez
Bloompocket’s Original Mix (radio version): Former Subliminal Records artist and jazz saxophonist with a penchant for the 4-on-the-floor, Bloompocket gives us an Earth, Wind and Fire + George Benson + bangin’ soulful vocal house anthem with live horns, electric bass, wah-wah guitar, swirling keys and an unusually groovy boogaloo breakdown.
Eric Davenport’s Mississippi Mud Pie Remix (radio version): A true virtuoso behind the decks and the veteran dancefloor hitmaker at the helm of Geisha House Music, Davenport provides the funky, jazzy, jackin’, quirky, catchy, sing-songy, Chicago sweatbox-style sounds.
Christian Alvarez’s Delectofied Deep Mix (radio version): The head of world-renown house imprint Delecto Recordings and a masterful producer holding his own with the heaviest of the heavyweights, Alvarez’s mix brings sparser vocals atop a smooth-but-poppin’, silky, eyebrow-crinkling, elegant, and dubby west coast vibe.

I’ll Show You
Produced, composed, performed, and mixed by Bloompocket
recording facility ." For this track, I really wanted to feature some some smooth jazz/R&B-style chord changes along with some 80’s-era muted guitar playing in unison with the bass. The lead synth lines you’ll hear were inspired by the jazz of the 1980’s (think Pat Metheny and Steps Ahead ). In keeping with the tradition of classic house music, this tune seeks nothing more than to drill in a few mantras of faith and inspiration. In fact, if you were to listen to these lyrics, simple and repetitive as they are, and turn those words into an approach to all of life , I guarantee that your entire existence would be revolutionized within a relatively short span of time. The track was signed for release by Milan’s Gotta Keep Faith records and is slated for release in early 2009.

According to the liner notes of the group’s 1983 debut album (for worldwide release), entitled Steps Ahead, "Steps began as a part-time venture in 1979 at Seventh Avenue South, a New York City nightclub." The group began releasing recordings in Japan as far back as 1980. The first line up of Steps in the period 1979-1981, as can be read on the live album Smokin’ in the Pit, consisted of Michael Brecker (tenor sax), Steve Gadd (drums), Eddie Gomez (bass), Don Grolnick (piano), Mike Mainieri (vibraphone), and special guest Kazumi Watanabe (guitar).
