Soul Love has released ‘Shine’, a collaboration between JKriv and The Illustrious Blacks. Arriving just in time for summer, the single blends disco, boogie, and house influences into an uplifting cut centered on self-expression and dancefloor connection.
Best known as co-founder of Razor-N-Tape, JKriv has built a reputation through releases on labels including Soundway, Favorite, Heist, and Z Records, while collaborating with artists such as Dimitri From Paris, Horse Meat Disco, Adi Oasis, and Dames Brown. On ‘Shine’, he joins forces with The Illustrious Blacks, the creative partnership of Manchildblack and Monstah Black.
The duo brings its signature mix of futuristic funk, house music, performance art, and queer club culture to the release, delivering a vocal performance that complements the track’s shimmering synth work and groove-driven production.
With its warm energy and celebratory spirit, ‘Shine’ arrives as a natural fit for Soul Love’s house, disco, and boogie-focused catalogue, continuing the label’s commitment to dancefloor-ready releases with strong musical foundations.
