Acclaimed British House producer Sonic Soul Orchestra gets set to launch his exciting new record label this Spring, ‘People Watching’, as he joins forces with regular collaborator and divine soulful diva, Kathy Brown on ‘Good Inside’. Kicking off the label with pure soulful vibes and immaculate production, ‘Good Inside’ opens with a spine-tingling vocal from Kathy before launching into a sumptuous groove packed with a plethora of magical funkery, uplifting brass stabs, sweeping strings, and soulful beats, providing the perfect back-drop for Kathy’s powerful love song. The package also includes a potent edit from SSO’s trusted editor and remixer S.K.O.D. who brings his smooth Soulful House finesse to the song, injecting a breathtaking piano breakdown, before jumping back into the groove. ‘Good Inside’ hails a stunning start for this exciting new chapter for Sonic Soul Orchestra, while further cementing the timeless chemistry and charisma he and Kathy Brown bring to our dance floors.
“People Watching is rooted in the spirit of early House Music culture, drawing from the core elements that made (and continue to make) the scene such an uplifting, inclusive, and an addictive place to be. At its heart, our new label is about capturing feeling: wellbeing, togetherness, and the full emotional spectrum that dance music holds, from joy to melancholy and everything in between. I’m really excited to share this brand-new space for all the quality music we have lined up!” – Sonic Soul Orchestra
After years spent touring globally with major pop and rap artists, DJ and producer JP Firmin, aka Sonic Soul Orchestra, reconnected with House Music during COVID, not as a passing moment, but as a full return to the culture that shaped him. What began as studio exploration quickly turned into a prolific wave of productions, unleashing a plethora of quality original productions and remixes on labels such as SoSure Music, Midnight Riot, Black Riot, Quantize, King St, Groove Odyssey, IAH, Love To Be, LW Recordings, and more. With that momentum came the natural decision to step back into the record label space, with Spring 2026 hailing the launch of Sonic Soul Orchestra’s new imprint, People Watching – a platform built to document and contribute to house music culture in its truest form. People Watching exists in that space where nostalgia meets forward motion. Honouring the warmth, musicality, and inclusivity that defined the early culture, while embracing modern production and new voices entering the scene.
Originally hailing from South Carolina, Kathy Brown originally found fame as the chart-topping lead singer of the group Praxis before having US dance hits on her own. In 1999 she climbed to #4 on the Hot Dance Music/Club Play chart with “Joy” and in 2004 was the credited lead vocalist on the British act Soul Central’s “Strings Of Life (Stronger On My Own)”, a track that samples Rhythm Is Rhythm’s 1989 House classic. Over the years, she featured on dozens of house and club singles and has become one of the best-loved voices of house ever to have graced the scene. Working alongside Sonic Soul Orchestra, Kathy has released soulful hits such as ‘Need You’ and ‘So Into You’.
