Joe Claussell has long been one of New York City's busiest dance figures, thanks to his make in all areas of the house biotic community: as a extremely respected DJ, manufacturer, remixer, label-head (Ghostlike Life Music and Ibadan), and record-shop owner (Dance Tracks). Spiritual Life has released tracks from a host of New York nu-house teams including Claussell himself, Mateo & Matos, Blaze, Slam Mode, and patronize production mate Jephte Guillaume. And his Sunday clubnight Body & Soul (with mate residents François Kevorkian and Danny Krivit) recreated the vibraharp fostered at the birth of modern dance medicine -- David Mancuso's Loft roger Sessions during the early '70s -- with a varied mix of vivacious music ranging from Milton Nascimento to Masters at Work to Cesario Evora to Kevin Yost to Fela Kuti. In his productions, he's often mirrored that eclecticist mix in of styles, falling in plentifulness of acoustic instruments and rich percussion patterns.


Like Kevorkian, Claussell is a ex-serviceman of the disco geological era, an enthusiastic participator at DJ roger Huntington Sessions from near-legendary figures like Mancuso and Larry Levan. Raised in Brooklyn, he well-read musical variety thanks to the wide-ranging tastes of his 7 brothers. He began working at the New York record fund Dance Tracks in the late '80s, and after forming a partnership with new proprietor Stefan Prescott, turned it into one of the leading vinyl sources in the city. Claussell turned to production with a few remixing credits, and in 1996, launched Spiritual Life Music with the single "Refractory Problems" by Timmy Regisford.


Spiritual Life shortly became the home for productions embracement all forms of groove music from the past tense few decades, as comfortable working through Caribbean folk and salsa rhythms as the expected cryptical theater. (Non surprisingly, the excerpt at the Dance Tracks depot featured the same philosophical system at work.) Tight releases by two of New York's topper producers (Slam Mode with "Edict Mistura," and Blaze with "Directions") increased the label's visibility during the mid-'90s, and Claussell affected into production with majuscule singles by Jephte Guillaume ("The Prayer," "Kanpe") during 1997. He too formed a second label, Ibadan, and released his number 1 proper single, the 1997 Brazilian planetary house physical exertion "Escravos de Joe."


The same vibes fostered on Spiritual Life material likewise constitute a physical exercise at Body & Soul, the Sunday evening club founded by Claussell with François Kevorkian. His number 1 full-length, Unify the Vibe, was released on NiteGrooves in 1999, followed later that year by his proper debut, Speech. A Spiritual Life compiling, Spiritual Life Music, is too useable.
