    ↓ About the project ↓
    In 2006, the boundary­pushing French electronic producer Julien Jabre tracked down the American gospel singer Phyliss McKoy Joubert on MySpace. Joubert had long been a beloved cult figure in the disco and early house music scenes, thanks to “Stand on the Word”. Eighteen years later, in 2003, the original mix of "Stand on the Word" reappeared as a mysterious bootleg entitled “Celestial Choir, Stand On The Word (unreleased mix)” and labelled "Larry 02". Eager to remix and officially re-release the original recording, Julien reached out to Joubert, who explained the multitrack tapes had been lost. The only thing to do, was to go back in the studio together! They also recorded an entire album including original songs written by Phyliss and several covers. In 2003, Julien founded his own label, Elias, where he could experiment and branch out from traditional house, compiling a polyglot, continually evolving body of work that has included television and film scores as well as vocal and non­vocal electronic, pop and techno. In 2005, he recorded the breakout track “Swimming Places”, a huge deep house hit at that year’s Winter Music Conference in Miami, and a subsequent club staple on Defected. Now, after nine years, he and The Joubert Singers are proud to finally release the full album on Elias! Including "Stand on the Word" in its original and very unique 1982 Original Version, alongside the new Studio Version and brand new remixes, one of them by Dimitri From Paris.

    That is how the good lord works! From the very first piano notes of The Joubert Singers' 'Stand on the Word' (1982 Version), you're lifted up into something special. This track lifts up and beyond.....What an epic feel-good journey, I mean it is like wrapping you in a blanket of joy and unity that's as heartfelt as it is universal. There's something about this 1982 classic that's hard to pin down-it's authentic, bursting with a kind of joy and conviction that you can't help but respond to. It captures the essence of authenticity in sound.Timeless, power of faith and the strength, clap along and find your place in kitchen, on the dance-floor alone or in mass!!

    Just discovered this through a podcast here in the UK. Wished I'd heard this back in 82 as a 12 year old, I would have loved it. Will add to my playlist till I can get more stuff on them.

    I’m loving this song after hearing it on FX’s SnowFall on Hulu and what a episode I was holding my breath this series right here feels so true to me even though they claim it’s not I grew up in that era and a lot money was made and a lot people were addicted to that crack the government only started busting and arresting the dealers when it became a problem in the Caucasian neighborhood!!!!
