Video Description:
"String Of Life (Stronger On My Own)" is a song by the production duo Soul Central. House music star Kathy Brown provides vocals for the song and it became a Top 10 hit in the UK, peaking at #6 and topping the UK Dance Chart. It remains the duo's biggest hit.
Soul Central are a music production duo consisting of Andy Ward and Paul Timothy who had a number 6 hit with "Stronger On My Own" on the UK chart and it also reached number 1 on the UK Dance Chart. The track featured vocals from house veteran Kathy Brown. The follow up single Need You Now was an
instrumental and failed to match the success of the previous single. ----- Derrick May, also known as Mayday and Rhythim is Rhythim, is an electronic musician from Detroit, Michigan U.S.A. He was born an only child[1] in Detroit in 1963 and began to explore electronic music early in his life. Along
with his Belleville, Michigan high school friends Juan Atkins and Kevin Saunderson, commonly known as the Belleville Three, May is credited with developing the futuristic variation on house music that would be dubbed "techno" by Atkins. May's career started in 1987 with the release of a record cal
led "Nude Photo" (co-written by Thomas Barnett), which helped kickstart the Detroit techno music scene. A year later he was following it with what was to become one of techno's classic anthems, the seminal track "Strings of Life," which was named by Frankie Knuckles.[2] May has not released any ori
ginal solo recordings since 1993, but has also produced numerous remixes and has worked on video game and movie soundtracks, including, most recently, music for the new film of the popular combat video game Tekken.[citation needed] In 2003, he was returned control of Detroit's popular annual electr
onic music festival, originally conceived with Carl Craig. He named his event Movement, replacing the Detroit Electronic Music Festival along the city's riverfront. Derrick May also still maintains a break-neck performance schedule, playing legendary sets in the best venues on six continents, every
weekend. A pioneer of techno, he is a modern day bluesman producing what he calls hi-tech soul or "George Clinton meeting Kraftwerk in an elevator."[3] It must be strange to be Derrick May, the man who, along with schoolmates Juan Atkins and Kevin Saunderson, started the thing we call techno. Who
is still treated with reverence for his intensely spiritual DJing and for some of the most important records ever made. Who sits silent in his Detroit warehouse, releasing nothing, appalled by the drug culture that envelopes the music he created. Derrick May knows the secret of techno, but will he s
hare it? Who knows the secret of techno? Derrick May, the man who, with Juan Atkins and Kevin Saunderson, started the whole damn thing does. And it's a lot more to do with what's going on in his head than computer love and the soul of the machine. ----- Gary Banks & Jonathan Whitehouse have been producing music as The Funky Lowlives in Soho, London since 1998. Ever since the Lowlives' first single landed on the tiny London label Ascension Music, they have always been in demand as producers, spending the best part of their early career predominantly remixing tracks for other artists. These include such luminaries as Masters at Work, Dizzy Gillespie, Mark Rae, and Richard Dorfmeister.
During this busy time remixing, the Lowlives were gradually developing their sound, and slowly releasing their own original material. Their production and style caught the attention of Kruder and Dorfmeister who signed them to G-Stone Records, where they released "The Inside E.P." For their debut
studio album "Cartouche" the guys moved to the German label Stereo Deluxe, where over the years they had built up a friendship from DJing and collaborating on various projects with the head of the label, Oli Roesch. "Cartouche" was released in the summer of 2002. Following the tragic death of Oli
Roesch, the Lowlives decided to start afresh and at the end of 203 they moved to the new London-based label Outer Recordings. live mix
