******************************************************
WE LOVE YOU NICK ASHFORD!!!

Though the name Nick Ashford might not immediately ring a bell, the man's music most certainly will. Ashford, who, with his wife Valerie Simpson, was one half of the songwriting duo and pop/R&B/Soul group Ashford & Simpson, passed away Monday after a battle with throat cancer. In his 70 years, he and his wife penned some of the biggest, most pervasive hits of all time.

After "Let's Go Get Stoned," their 1966 tune for Ray Charles, became a number one R&B hit, Ashford & Simpson quickly established themselves as songwriting royalty and joined the Motown Staff. They wrote a number of enormous songs for stars like Marvin Gaye, Diana Ross and Chaka Khan, including "Ain't No Mountain High Enough," "You're All I Need To Get By" and "I'm Every Woman." An established musician, Ashford recorded percussion for dozens of Motown sessions, including those that produced Marvin Gaye's "What's Goin' On." Ashford & Simpson even had a hit of their own in 1984 with "Solid" (you know, as a rock). The duo was also credited on Amy Winehouse's track "Tears Dry On Their Own," which borrowed heavily from "Ain't No Mountain."

Ashford's love for music is apparent, but he and Simpson's love for each other was what impressed their peers most. "The thing is they were married and working together, that was what was special about them. Everybody admired that," Verdine White of Earth, Wind and Fire told the Associated Press. Ashford is survived by Simpson, their two children, and his music.



And its only fitting that we honor Nick Ashord as part of the Paradise Garage tribute edition of Spread Love, as soooo many of Nick and Natalie's songs were classics at the legendary club ~ like this classic from Larry levan's LIVE AT THE PARADISE GARAGE album: Bourgie Bourgie!

We're dedicating this Spread Love affair to Nick Ahford by celebrating love.


******************************************************
WE LOVE YOU LARRY LEVAN!!
LONG LIVE PARADISE GARAGE!!!
The most legendary club of club culture history...

Opening in February 1978 and closing down in the fall of 1987, Paradise Garage is quite possibly the most revered of all of the great Dance clubs. Strongly influenced by David Mancuso's stellar sound system and familial atmosphere at The Loft, Paradise Garage became known for industry-defining sound and a congenial, loving environment serving as respite from the dangers and concerns of the streets of New York City. DJ Larry Levan presided over the Garage (as it was lovingly known) and inspired a reverence from club audiences unsurpassed in the history of Dance music. Paradise Garage became known musically for preserving the spirit and ambience of classic Disco while moving resolutely forward in musical style and innovation. The Dance music genre Garage is a lasting tribute to the club's importance to Dance music history.

Throughout its history Paradise Garage had only one resident DJ, Larry Levan, widely revered as one of the most talented of all Dance DJs. A veteran of the Gallery, Continental Baths, and Reade St. (Paradise Garage's immediate precursor), Levan had strong connections with the New York Disco community.

Larry Levan's musical palette at Paradise Garage was one of the most diverse ever in a Dance venue. He would incorporate elements of Rock, Disco, Jazz, R&B, Latin and more if it seemed to fit the mood of the moment. While nearly anything might be heard on the dancefloor, a more specific style began to emerge as a predominant sound. Ultimately known as Garage, this style was true to the sound and feel of Disco while adding technological elements that successfully brought the music forward. Levan's intimate connection with the record label West End Records, run by Michael Brody's life partner Mel Cheren, insured success for such West End classics as Karen Young's Hot Shot, The Peech Boys' Don't Make Me Wait, and Taana Gardner's Heartbeat.

Part legend and part reality, Paradise Garage is certain to live on.

Spread Love make sure of that!!!!!

About the event:
You know those performances or events that you were not fully aware of until you hear about it through a friend, or read about it through a write up or review? You know the ones you wish you would have experienced in person? The ones you count the days until their next performance or return? Well this, my friends, would definitely be that event.

Grammy-nominated producer and turntablist, DJ Kemit is the musical guide at this brilliant monthly event entitled “Spread Love.” No an annual mash-up, DJ Kemit and guest DJ Mafioso give the city of Atlanta a beautiful tribute to the greats ~ from Fania Allstars and Fela Kuti to gorgeous blends of salsa and samba classics with the best of the King of Pop! This annual event has become a true celebration of life and the gift of soulful music from across the globe.

On July 23, DJ Kemit and Mafioso are joining forces once again to present SPREAD LOVE ~ RENDIR AMOR. And this time around, they will expand the live percussion section, with a free dance lesson to start the night. If you happen to have other plans on Saturday, July 23, then you should definitely cancel them. This is a night that you will wish you would have been a part of. If this next Afro latin Funk music and dance retrospective is anything like it was last year, it will be fun and sexy from start to finish.

Spread Love is a treasure that must be shared. With music and dance styles that sizzle from Latin and Urban, to the best in soul and jazz, wrapped in a signature deejay set that only DJ Kemit and Mafioso can put together. This event is a spicy taste of life and a sight to be seen. Each song is felt and enjoyed. The room is full with dancers who carry such a presence of passion and freedom that you can’t help but fall in love – with everybody in the room. In the highest recommendation, it is a must do! An event that if you are not in attendance you will undoubtedly miss out. The music is captivating and truly delightful.

Back in 2006, the first official SPREAD LOVE was a birthday celebration for DJ KEMIT!!! It felt like the entire city squeezed into The Royal that night!!

So the following year SPREAD LOVE moved to SUGARHILL and we still didn't have enough space to hold the crowd, the beautiful energy and incredible mix of music - everything from Soul Classics, to Latin Funk, to Afrobeat and Soulful House! When SPREAD LOVE became a monthly event, we made our way to East Atlanta and held it down at CENCI.

Since then we've grown at 595 North for several years, and you've been there with us every step of the way! As we look ahead to another season of great events, we hope you'll continue to show your LOVE for GREAT SOULFUL MUSIC from all over the globe!

Go where the music takes you!

Spread Love, ya'll!!
