Out of love for music! Is how you would describe the reason the girls and boys of Soulfulhouse Collective found each other coming together. Founder and House stalwart, Tomby, kicked off the project in 2007 with the original idea of bringing their beloved house music to the right people and in the right places. Having met so many DJ greats on his lengthy clubbing odyssey, it was an easy task to find the project’s next enthusiastic member. Steffi – a fellow bona fide music aficionado. Always on the lookout for opportunities to discover new music, they paid a visit to the WMC (Winter Music Conference) in Miami, which inspired them to follow their instincts... What followed was the birth of the “SFHC”! “Not everyone understands House Music! It’s a spiritual thing…”, as the saying goes. Feeling just as spiritual, one day Steffi was reminded of this and devoted himself to this brotherly love. This was soon followed by F. George gracing the new triumvirate with his presence. So, with a firm foundation in place, they started touring. Initially only active locally, they soon found themselves in demand by party people further afield and began to work on building an international platform for their music. Mixing up an enchanting blend of soulful, deep house and latin rhythms with selected cuts of Soul, Disco and funky stuff, they soon attracted the attention of Soulbrother Tony J. After spending many days and nights together in London record shops, the inevitable happened and it was time to welcome him into the new “Soulful House Quartet”. The last member of the SFHC bunch can also reflect on a similar story... Loveman, searching for like-minded people to share in his devotion to his musical passion, soon found his way into the Collective! „...a body thing! A soul thing!“ as arguably the most legendary House lyric concludes. With hearts and souls fully indulging in their music, the lads still felt the urge for even more...Soul. They wanted to set a new standard! Proving that you can combine being beguiling with musical credibility, along came Lea Norden. Despite meeting more through luck than judgment, it must have been love at first sight because she needed little persuasion to bring her glowing saxophone rhythms to the collective. DJ with Soul has always been a music enthusiast, primarily hooked on bands such as Depeche Mode and U2. However, in the mid-’90s he discovered a music genre which is still the biggest passion in his life – house music. This was mainly due to listening to radio shows like HR3 Clubnight as well as going to house clubs or collecting different kinds of DJ mixtapes, first and foremost influenced by DJs from the US and their particular sound, such as Jesse Saunders, Masters at Work and Terrence Parker. The latter would influence him most during his growth as a DJ, both in terms of music and skill. In 2001, he decided to buy his first records in order to learn the art of mixing. Since then, he has become an enthusiastic vinyl collector and a DJ playing only vinyl in his sets. As a DJ, he has played at clubs, lounges and bars in different regions of Germany, such as Nachtcafé (Leipzig), Zooma (Plauen), Blumengold (Cologne) and Die Bank (Munich). When playing a set, his music comprises a wide variety of house music, especially funky, Latin, soulful and garage house. Since 2010, DJ with Soul also has been focusing on music production, particularly on house music that comes from the heart and which has a warm sound as well as soulful elements.
