“100% Pure Soulful House” is the way Dennis Ferrer categorizes his musical style. Although many different types of music had an impact on his musical development, the greatest influence undoubtedly come from old school soul with names like T Connection, Herbie Hancock, Cameo, The Commodores & Confunkshun being amongst the most prominent. Based in the house heartland of New Jersey (presently home to MAW, Blaze, Tony Humphries, Kerri Chandler, to name just a handful) he is best known for the work on his own label, Sfere Records. The concept of the label has been & still is: “don’t dare to be different” which translates into some truly unique releases. “If it’s soulful and it moves us....then we’ll release it” is the Sfere philosophy, so it could translate into Brazilian House, Gospel House, Jazz House etc., adding up to a truly eclectic mixture of great dance music. Since Dennis is particularly partial to vocal records, it was a natural progression that he team up with Easy Street, a label that releases nothing but great vocal records. His first remix for the label was “Count On Me”, a pumpin’ jam that featured Nicci’s soulful interpretations & Dennis’ slammin’ trax. The latest project is Chris Herbert’s Shelter Me which gives Dennis an opportunity to work with some amazing gospel tinged vocals that deliver a truly uplifting message. Dennis has stated that today “the quality of production standards have been raised quite a bit”. Without a doubt, that statement is supported by the creative remixes he has delivered to Easy Street and by the accolades he has received for the impact of the releases on his own label. He’s definitely a rising star!!!
