Your Love

In the organizer's words:

Pioneering house producer and DJ Yvonne Turner plays in Germany for the first time, alongside fellow legend Maurice Fulton and Your Love founders Lakuti and Tama Sumo.

The next Your Love is one that we have been planning for so long & one closest to our hearts.

To host the pioneer Yvonne Turner for the very first time & to have one of our absolute faves, Maurice Fulton returning is an absolute honour.

More on our guests:

Yvonne Turner

DJ, producer and remixer Yvonne Turner was one of the only women instrumental in shaping New York's early house scene, in fact her dub mix of Colonel Abrahams’s “Music is the answer “ is now rightly credited as one of the first house tracks alongside Jesse Saunders’s “on and On “ (Both came out in 1984). Yet her story has gone largely undocumented. Born in Harlem in 1953, she started DJing regularly by the late '70s, playing weekly parties in Flatbush and getting her musical education at The Loft. There, she says, she learned how "good music" should sound. It inspired her to start going to the studio and sharing her musical revelations with other people.

As a woman producer, she was often relegated to the small print on records, bumped to associate or co-producer status or marked as a mixer instead of a remixer. Many of the male vocalists she worked with got credit for the music. But Turner penned some acclaimed house tracks, such as "Set Fire To Me," "Music Is The Answer" and the official remix of Whitney Houston's "I'm Your Baby Tonight." She also did remixes for Lisa Stansfield , Lenny Kravitz , Oleta Adams , Loleatta Holloway, Arnold Jarvis , willie Colon and more . While Turner took a back seat for a few years, deciding to teach in elementary schools and wind down her touring, she recently got back in the studio and wants to set the record straight about the history of house and her place—and many other women's—within it.

Maurice Fulton

Maurice Fulton is one of house music’s true originals, an eccentric ex-pat American DJ and producer who never fails to surprise and delight his listeners. His first album since the leftfield Stories Of A Broken Heart And Recovering which he recorded as Ladyvipb (for Nuphonic) is an altogether more accessible and dancefloor friendly affair... Maurice Fulton has been round the block in more ways than one, not only did he have a hand in producing Gypsy Woman by Crystal Waters, one of the most successful house tunes of the early ‘90s; he is the darling of both the underground house and leftfield scenes with an enviable back catalogue, he also has a capacity for landing himself ‘in the soup’. Maurice is one of those hapless individuals to which trouble swarms like wasps to a honey pot. His most recent ‘situation’ saw him arrive home to find his record collection had been sold by his jealous girlfriend who, after discovering an unsolicited e-mail from a lady fan, suspected him of playing away from home. If it’s going to happen to someone, it’s going to happen to Maurice Fulton.

As per usual your hosts, Lakuti & Tama Sumo, will round off the line up.
