LIMITED TIME ONLY.... NO COMMERCIAL RELEASE Traxsource Exclusive!!!!


Brand new Live Up Tempo Mixes of this Louis Benedetti Classic Instrumental featuring Joe "Coach" Hanna from the Bootsy Collins fame on Drums!!!! There won't be a commercial or vinyl release of these mixes so grab them before they are gone forever!!!! Louis Benedetti teams up with Bass Master Gene Perez and brings us this foot stompin' Instrumental House.

Gene Perez needs no introduction. A Bass virtuoso who has played with many influential legends ranging from rock to R&B and in our opinion partly responsible for bringing the live musicianship back to the forefront in Club Music with his unique sound.

"Bottom's Up" showcases Gene in top shape laying a solid hip-shaking groove while dropping his signature "riffs" and "Licks" at the right spots.

Often imitated but never duplicated, Gene Perez deserves our recognition for his influential style and flavor that he brings to House Music and we are grateful for the opportunity to work with such talented musician.

The long awaited follow up to "Love Won't Give Up" is finally here!!!

"Hold On To Me" is a powerful duet performance delivered by the First Family of our House Music scene Mr. Kenny Bobien and his wife Stephanie Cooke.

Kenny Bobien sets his falsetto style aside and surprises us with his tenor vocal abilities, which added a fine R&B flavor to his performance.

On the background Vocal duties, Mrs. Stephanie Cooke brings just the right balance and blends in beautifully with her husband.

SoulShine's own Louis Benedetti seats behind the mixing board and comes up with a stellar set of mixes. Tested and approved by a handful of tastemakers "Hold On To Me" is without a doubt another SoulShine Classic!!!!

.:.: DOCUMENTARY


G.O.D. Documentary
THE GODFATHER OF DISCO Directed by Gene Graham


The Godfather of Disco (G.O.D.) offers a "mesmerizing overview of the rise and fall of 70s-era dance music" (Max Sparber, The Pulse of the Twin Cities)

Based on Mel Cheren’s powerful autobiography, My Life and the Paradise Garage: Keep On Dancin.

Through a series of interviews with a who’s who of the dance music community, including SoulShine's own Louis Benedetti, G.O.D. uses the arc of Mel’s life to examine the early 70’s musical and cultural currents that gave birth to disco, West End Records’ contribution to that scene, the rise of Paradise Garage, and the onslaught of HIV/Aids and it's impact on New York City.


Winner of The Emerging Filmaker Award at The 2007 Minneapolis / St. Paul International Film Festival
