City Heat is a collection of classy British soul that reveals an underexplored period of UK club music. Originally released in the 1988-89‘ Summers Of Love’, this six track selection showcases the new Brit soul sound that would lead to Jazzie B OBE inviting City Heat’s Simon Law to become a key part of the Grammy Award winning Soul II Soul collective. Remastered and released on RE:WARM records.
Born in Trinidad to an Anglican minister (father) and a classically trained professional musician (mother), the brother and sister duo of Simon aka The Funky Ginger and Joanna Law were born surrounded by music. Relocating to the UK as children, they quickly realised what they wanted to do and by 1987, City Heat had been signed to Chrysalis but it was after a meeting with the late Ross Anderson that everything clicked. His Kingly St Basement studio became their lab and the master musician, sound engineer, reggae 45 aficionado, and studio builder became their beloved teacher and collaborator.
The Brit soul scene was a convergence of many influences. US and UK soul, jazz and funk, hip hop, Caribbean sound system culture and the incredible emerging machine funk of Chicago and Detroit house. Regulars at club nights like Soul II Soul’s Africa Centre sessions, Dance Wicked , The “Do’s” and Norman Jay’s Rare Groove workouts at the Bass Clef in Hoxton, Simon and Jo wanted to contribute music for this beautifully diverse, vibrant scene.
