Wow!!!! @louievega 's #ElementsofOfLife dropped 20 years ago today (March 9, 2004)!!! This album raised the bar for dance/House music, and so many of these songs STILL blaze the dancefloor!!! I vividly remember experiencing this music at Winter Music Conference in Miami when it first came out. That's when WMC was EVERYTHING for us #HouseHeads!!! Thank you to everyone who created this timeless piece of my life's soundtrack!!!

20 Years of Elements of Life 🌞🌍

Unbelievably, today marks 20 years since the release of the first Elements of Life album. We have found the original notes that I wrote about everyone involved in the project, so I wanted to share those with you, along with some of the music from the project. A very special time in my life, and a body of work that I’m VERY proud of .

1. The artwork (w/ Journey’s Prelude)

2. Our tracklist (w/ Brand New Day)

3. A dedication to Anané & Nico (w/ Cerca De Mi)

4. Words about Anané (w/ Ma Mi Mama)

5. Anané Vega (w/ Nos Vida)

6. Words about Raul Midon (w/ Mozalounge)

7. Words about Hector Lavoe (w/ Summer Night In Spanish Harlem)

8. Words about Blaze (w/ Elements of Life)

9. Words about the EOL band (w/ A Better Day)

10. Elements Of Life now perform worldwide at venues like the historical Blue Note in NYC to HERE and Southbank Centre in London, and from Japan to South Africa and in between…this is now 20 years later!!! (w/ our new single ‘Dusk On The Beach, check it out and enjoy !) 

Thank you to all the singers, musicians, songwriters, engineers, who make this project so special… Elements of Life is a FAMILY! 

I have created a special EOL discography playlist on Spotify, which you can find via link in my bio. 🔗

“Lead With Love” (A Soulful House Mix) by DJ Spivey

Digital Crate Digging Continues as we proceed and continue with this Music Monday edition; getting breakbeat scientific is how we’re living! The saga  / struggle continues as life goes on as the toil and strife goes on; reality is so unforgiving! But we kept living, governing ourselves accordingly per the advice of the old school Baptist preacher up in Louisville! Oh yes!! we’ll keep living…
