Soul Central Announce 20 Years Of “Strings Of Life” With New Version & Label
20 years on from first dominating the Music industry with a round of era-defining anthems, Soul Central present their own label CENTRL Music – Launching with a rework of their all-time anthem “Strings Of Life.”
Soul Central is most famously known for their version of “Strings Of Life” which became a worldwide anthem and one of the most prominent songs in clubland. The duo Paul Timothy and Matt Mckillop are presently celebrating 20 years at the forefront of House Music. The track originally placed Top Ten in the UK charts and received an NMC award for extensive radio plays following its release on the highly respected Defected Records. Time Out listed the song within “The 20 Best House Tracks Ever”, receiving similar accolades from The Guardian, LA Weekly, DJ Mag, and Mixmag.
Soul Central’s brand new take on the chart-topping classic has brought the track into the modern day, whilst maintaining the old-school essence of the original. A skill few can pull off. Strings Of Life / Un Amore Supremo pacing is a credit to the duo’s experience in arranging, where every build-up creates the perfect amount of tension leading towards the euphoric piano riff that is synonymous with the heart and soul of ‘House Music’.
The release has garnered support from industry players including Gorgon City, Joseph Capriati, LF System, Honey Dijon and Paco Osuna following on from their original supporters Pete Tong, Fatboy Slim, Roger Sanchez, Sonny Fodera, LP Giobbi, Annie Mac, Carl Cox, Danny Howard, Hannah Wants, Paul Oakenfold, Sam Divine and Sarah Story.
“I’m beyond excited to share our new updated versions of one of the all-time clubland classics. Over the past two decades we have constantly evolved and remained firmly focussed on creating poignant, joyful releases that actively celebrate House music and the emotional connection it evokes.” — Timmy Vegas
The new version was first featured as the final track from Graeme Park’s Hacienda House Party during lockdown which is estimated to have engaged over 4 million listeners following their first show across digital platforms showcasing icons ranging from Moby, Danny Tenaglia, Inner City, and David Morales.
CENTRL will play host to a string of new releases from the duo as they catapult far beyond their original House roots. With new singles with E-Man from ‘It’s Yours’, Cevin Fisher, Inaya Day, and many more memorable names, the duo plans to take in a more electronic-focused vibe whilst aiming to supersede previous success.
“We have an incredible amount of music that we cannot wait to share. Over the last few years, we’ve been working to raise the bar musically and grow the brand with a whole new audience. It’s great to see so much love continuing for Soul Central and our releases. Strings Of Life / Un Amore Supremo is an important part of our journey and it’s amazing to see clubbers and DJ’s across the world in full support. We love to connect people on dancefloors and ignite sustained memories.” — Matt Mckillop
Soul Central continues to top charts, receiving a Grammy Award nomination for their collaboration with iconic vocalists Crystal Waters and Robin S. The Duo have also expanded their CENTRL Music brand to worldwide syndication, following on from their Galaxy FM Switzerland, Sweden, Ireland, and Spain show and their new residency with Select Radio – The UK’s No.1 dance music station.
2023 saw the duo sign a multiple album deal with Tru Thoughts, and launch their ‘Days Of Disco’ brand in Ibiza recently featuring alongside Faithless, Joe Goddard (Hot Chip), and Gok Wan whilst collating a run of hot new releases being scheduled. With all of this, the act shows no sign of slowing down anytime soon.

From the very first notes of “I Keeps It Moving,” it exudes the best Soulful House music vibes. Of course, this new release not only showcases David Anthony‘s commitment to quality but also introduces the amazing vocals of Dani Vasser.
Subsequently, her seductive voice gracefully intertwines with the soothing melodic lines, producing a harmonious delight for your ears, even when she raps. In other words, the singing part infuses an extra layer of charm into the instrumentals.
Furthermore, the irresistible chorus of “I Keeps It Moving” will hold your attention from beginning to end. David Anthony’s reputation is built upon his meticulous approach to production, and he has succeeded in creating one of the best Soulful House music experiences to date.
“I Keeps It Moving” offers a choice between two versions – one featuring vocals and the other without. No matter which you prefer, this cut is destined to boost your mood.
Overall, here the sound feels fresh, hook-laden, and sure to inspire some serious footwork.
In the next few days, if this new track reaches widespread acclaim, David Anthony could easily find himself topping the charts and dominating the airwaves. I strongly recommend taking the time to read this interview in order to learn more about Planet Hum, his label.

Peggy Gou, the Korean-born sensation in the House music scene, is back with a bang after nearly two years of anticipation. Her latest release, “(It Goes Like) Nanana,” is not just a song; it’s a sonic journey to an island paradise. This track, along with its accompanying music video, promises to be the summer anthem you’ve been waiting for.
Without question, “(It Goes Like) Nanana” is the kind of tune that instantly transports you to a serene island getaway. With its Balearic-inspired rhythm and bright melodies, Peggy Gou’s latest creation exudes irresistible laid-back island vibes.
Moreover, it’s a musical cocktail that blends her own vocals with guitar-style notes, making it the perfect soundtrack for those sunny days and warm nights.
Have you ever experienced that indescribable feeling of love, warmth, and excitement when you’re surrounded by friends and loved ones, and the energy just speaks for itself? Well, Peggy Gou captures that sentiment flawlessly with this banger.
While it might be challenging to put into words, the song itself goes nanana, conveying that special emotion that is hard to express.
What’s more, the video director behind the visuals is none other than Thomas Hardiman, with Peggy Gou as the creative mastermind behind the lens. Also, the clip feels like a piece of art that perfectly complements the song’s dreamy aesthetics.
Beyond the magical landscapes of Ibiza, this single is in fact an early teaser of her highly-anticipated debut album.
In short, I love the way she offers a breath of fresh air in the world of electronic music. Stay tuned for more incredible gems via her socials below.

Eliza Rose collaborates with the renowned House music icons, The Martinez Brothers, for an incredible club jam titled “Pleasure Peak.” Best of all, it features Ibiza as the setting of the music video.
Furthermore, you can expect the sound of the classic Chicago House bassline from start to end. The pulsating beats, drums, and dreamy synthesizers also work their magic.
Last month, Eliza teamed up with the Martinez Brothers for a gig at Hï Ibiza, where they dropped this track for the first time. The crowd went nuts, it was epic! And they’ve also got this cool music video directed by Isaac Lamb, filmed in the Balearic Islands. It’s got vibes from iconic videos by artists like Missy Elliot, Aaliyah, Kylie, and others.
In the visuals, you’ll see these awesome artists having a fun time on the sunny island. They go sailing on a yacht, drive around in a Jeep, and eventually hit the club. This shows the different sides of a perfect day and night in Ibiza, just like how the song itself has both bright and dark elements.
Lastly, “Pleasure Peak” is a sexy cut you can enjoy during the last days of summer or on your next holiday.
