Keith Thompson
Get to know him.            Thompson's Releases




"I want to move your body, mind, and soul"
Keith Thompson has been very productive in the last few years and this year is no different. Several releases will be blazing the clubs this season. His remake of "Break 4 Love" with David Vendetta of France, along with DJ Romain, Moussa Clarke, and Booker T remixes, seem destined for hit status once again. It hit no.1 on Nocturnal Magazine's Buzz Chart in June and seems to be heading for larger success in this summer. His current releases are "Africa In Your Veins" (Waking Monster Media) and the just released "All God's Children Got Rhythm" (Soulfuric Deep), produced by Christian Hornbostel.

Keith was the lead vocalist on the classic "Break 4 Love" by Raze release on Columbia (US) and Champion (UK) in 1988. The international hit lead him to be signed by Capitol records in 1989 where he released the innovative "Can't Take It", coining the phrase "Ragga House" which lead the way for further experiments in house. After leaving EMI records, in 1992 he established his own label, Level 10 which released the underground classics, "Believe" and "The Rhythm Of Life". His other recent club hits have been "Living On The Frontline" (West Side, 2003) with producer Victor Simonelli, which was very successful from Italy to South Africa. Later that same year continued his exposure with the Scott Wozniak produced "It's On", a favorite of DJ like Miguel Migs, Jay Jay, Jamie Lewis and a host of others internationally.

While visiting Bulgaria (the South East European Exhibition) to speak on the artist music panel, Keith Thompson blew the industry and bulgarian house fans away with his "from stage to atop bar stool" performance that had them talking for days after. He sequed from the DJ Romain deep mix into the Vendetta mix and literally had the chic, crowd up and jumping. From East to West, looks like clubs will be breaking 4 love this year!
More to come.....
