Bursting onto the scene in the mid 1980's, Blaze set the tone and shape of the New York dance scene in the aftermath of the Paradise Garage, setting the template for soulful house as they channelled their musical roots of Philadelphia, Salsoul, Stevie Wonder and Marvin Gaye to fuel their soul and R&B slant on the modern dance sound. Producing hits for Amira, Barbara Tucker and Cassio Ware and remixing artists such as Womack & Womack, Jamiroquai and Lisa Stansfield, Blaze released on a number of seminal imprints, but it was West London's Slip 'n' Slide that really became their musical home. Now it makes the fitting label to reissue some of their finest moments, many of which are available digitally for the first time.
