Soulpatrol Aka Michael Rütten

Michael Rütten has come a long way. After being a long term full spectrum DJ, journalist for German mags such as Groove, JazzThing and Wom , talented producer in a collaboration with Max Schneider, compiling the highly successful "Tribes- Soul Searchin " series on Infracom, hosting his clubnight and Radioshow in Frankfurt and fullfilling the dues of a family father, Michael can be called a true missionary in every aspect. Releasing their "Love EP" (incl. a Charlie Dark Mix, which went No.1 in DCC charts) on Infracom this spring, their productions confirm the true quality already presented in his DJ-Sets. Where Max Schneider is the Sound Engineer and Producer of Soulpatrol, Michael Rütten is the man with the musical background bringing in his ideas. We are glad they contribute the perfect introductory track to this 8th volume of "Future Sounds of Jazz" in hybridysing the beautiful vocals of Marlene Johnson (from Frankfurt’s deep house imprint Stir 15) with some true 21st century dancefloor business.
