Peace Division legends Justin Drake & Clive Henry revisit their entire Soul Purpose catalogue for the first time in 27 years on WOLF Music.
Justin Drake and Clive Henry, recognised as the legendary Peace Division, stood out as one of the UK’s most successful tribal/tech house production duos from the late 90s to the mid-00s. Their contributions extended to renowned British labels such as NRK and Junior London, as well as releases with Hooj, Crosstown Rebels, and major label remixes.
Lesser known but equally intriguing was their venture into a different musical realm under the alias, Soul Purpose. Shifting towards a deeper shade of house music, Soul Purpose featured tracks characterised by lush chords and rolling basslines, placing a strong emphasis on the soulful elements.
Originally released on Low Pressing Limited, an offshoot label of Clive Henry and Rocky (X-Press 2) iconic Low Pressing, the four Soul Purpose titles emerged between 1997 and 1998. Despite being somewhat under the radar, these tracks gained recognition among DJs in the know. Now, the ‘Selected Works’ release, compiled from the original DAT tapes and fully remastered, reunites the entire Soul Purpose catalogue for the first time in 27 years since their initial release.
The collection of work is available on WOLF Music from February 2nd, 2023. Pre order here.
