After being locked in a vault for around 15 years we’re finally getting to hear more of what London UK’s TOTO productions recorded back in the early + mid 90’s. TOTO which created Urban Street Soul Orchestra (Daz-I-Kue, Don Ricardo, Hil St Soul, Steven Ville, Julie Smith and Paul ‘vibe’ C) originally produced a catalog of material that was never released, and after USSO went their separate ways the tracks stayed locked away until the group eventually rejoined in 2011 and started to release their back catalog.
The first to surface was the long over due Spice Of Life album originally recorded in 1997 which finally saw an official release in December 2011.
Here are two more unreleased joints from the USSO vault.. the killer “Grapevine” features Stevie Ville on vocals who joined TOTO Productions in the early 90’s + also featured on the “Slice of Life” lead single with Don Ricardo. “Never Had A Love” is another quality track featuring vocalist Jennifer Phillips.. It’s good to know they’re currently working on new material which could hopefully get a release later this year..
In the mean time, enjoy these vintage gems.

Meltdown show regular Sarah Winton continues to keep us up to date with all things fresh and new via her soundcloud page and there’s some great jazzy tracks on there too plus a heap of quality collaborations featuring various producers + musicians from both sides of the pond. This recent one sees her taking care of vocal duties on a new joint entitled “Sunshine” alongside Monsieur Greg (Computer, rhodes) and Vicky Flint (Trumpet and flugelhorn). Im really feeling both of these mixes, the beautiful Samba Soul version has summer written all over it + the beaty club mix takes the track up a notch but keeps the jazzy flavours intact. Sarah is currently working on a new project which will hopefully include some of her recent work, there’s been too many good ones to mention. In the mean time check these new ones and search out her old material..
