Soul Mekanik Brothers

Soul Mekanik is a project by two brothers, Danny Spencer and Kelvin Andrews. Their passion for acid house arose back in the 80s. Danny started producing records in 1987. A year later, under the name This Ain’t Chicago, he released his debut single 'Ride The Rhythm' with an acid house classic. By 1990, he was already featured on the cover of Smash Hits magazine. At the same time, Kelvin became a resident DJ at the legendary club Northern Golden. Kelvin believes in his music. It touches the soul and makes people dance on the dance floor. Over the past 17 years, he has compiled a unique collection of experimental funk from the last fifty years. Under the renowned alias Sure Is Pure, brothers Danny Spencer & Kelvin Andrews made remixes in the early 90s for Aretha Franklin, Sister Sledge, The Doobie Brothers, Lulu, and Dave Stewart. Their remix of Blueboy's 'Remember Me' released on their own label Pharm was a huge chart success. Danny Spencer & Kelvin Andrews also recorded the critically acclaimed album 'No Illicit Dancing' and co-wrote songs with Robbie Williams for his album 'Rock DJ'. Currently, Danny and Kelvin have decided to start afresh and have founded the Soul Mekanik project. Disillusioned with corporate greed in dance music, they returned to acid house. After releasing their fifth release on RIP Records, they were hailed as creators of a new house sound. The Soul Mekanik project did not go unnoticed: it was featured in DJ Magazine, they were asked to record a 2.5-hour mix for Rob Da Bank's Blue Room show on BBC Radio 1, and a 30-minute mix for Annie Nightingale's show on Radio 1. They are currently busy creating remixes for Armand Van Helden and Max Sedgeley's 'Happy'. Their latest release, 'Get Your Head Stuck On Your Neck / C'est Robotique (Hard Robot)', is ranking high in influential charts, and notably being played by respected DJs: Andrew Weatherall, Tiefschwarz, Ivan Smagghe, Xpress 2, and Laurent Garnier. Danny Spencer & Kelvin Andrews named their first album simply '81'. Danny described it as 'a return to 1981 - a time when everything seemed promising but still relevant in 2004'. The release of this album is scheduled for April 2005. In addition, the guys continue to perform: Kelvin DJs every two weeks in popular clubs, and together with Danny, they manage to mix exclusive live sets with tracks, adding a live element to their performances.
