Plenty of superfans gush that music is a spiritual thing. For New York-based DJ/producer Osunlade, it literally is: He is a priest of the West African religion Ifá and named his record label Yoruba after the ethnic group that practices the faith. But dancers looking for an all-night summertime fix shouldn't just put their faith in the fact that Osunlade answers to a higher power. With a roster of production and remix work for the likes of Roy Ayers, Patti LaBelle, Freddie Jackson, and Masters at Work, this soulful selector has two decades of chops. Not bad for someone who started his music career with Sesame Street. by Gregory Scruggs
