Sweet Mixture- House Of Fun And Love (PREORDER)
Celestial Echo Records brings back Sweet Mixture's House Of Fun And Love, a killer slice of crossover soul from 1973.Produced by Ron Rice and originally coming out on Chicago's Bazar label that he ran, House Of Fun And Love sits right in that sweet spot between modern soul and boogie before the lines were fully drawn. It has that glide you want from a great crossover record: warm vocals, a rolling groove, tight drums, and enough lift to move from a soul room into a dancefloor set without forcing it.There's a nice full circle moment with this one too. House Of Fun And Love was one of the earliest releases on Discs of Fun and Love, the label run by miche and Frederika. It sold out quickly the first time around and years on, it feels like the perfect record to bring into the Celestial Echo catalog, another holy grail for 2026.On the B-side is I Love You, a sweet ballad that is smooth, heartfelt and beautifully understated. A beautiful slow number that's common on a lot of these early soul records.
