Italian soul singer and musician <span style="color: #990000;"><b>Luca Dimoon</b></span> is back with yet another teaser from his long awaited upcoming album "<span style="color: #d0e0e3;"><i><b>Telescopic</b></i></span>". This time it's the infectious "<i><span style="color: #990000;"><b>Nonsense</b></span></i>", what he calls his "ode to the absurd" but judging from my ears, this groove is anything but. Smooth, feel good jam with a little stutter in the drums that makes you put that extra shoulder in it. Check out the wonderfully shot video filmed in Tokyo below and get a free download of the single via his <a href="https://soundcloud.com/lucadimoon/nonsense" target="_blank">soundcloud page</a>. The download is for a limited time so you betsta hurry. Now Luca, no more teases lol. We are so ready for the full album.<br />

The year 1994 seemed to be a very transitional year in my life.
Didn't return to Columbia College. I was 23 and had to finally face the
reality that holding on to my job at McDonald's, where I'd been since my
senior year high school, wasn't gonna suffice. Found a higher paying
job that paved the way for me to finally get my own apartment and
officially join the rat race. This new job came with strenuous hours and
even more strenuous work duties that often left me mentally and
physically drained resulting in me having little to no time for a social
life. Beforehand, I was the nightlife king. All I had for my refuge was
my love for music but at this point, music was also going through a
transition.<br />
<br />
The house music scene that I was pretty
devoted to for more than ten years was in disarray thanks in part to
stagnation, new zoning laws and tourism. The airwaves were pretty much
dominated by new jack swing and the pop side of r&b aimed at the
young urban streets with sounds built more around beats first and
instrumentation, if any, second. Live bands simply didn't exist. Any of
my favorite soul or jazz funk artists from the 70's & 80's classic
periods, who were lucky enough to be still recording, found themselves
clambering for spots in the crowded field of adult contemporary and
smooth jazz. Not to say I didn't like any of it, (well I wasn't a fan of
new jack swing much at all lol) but I felt something was being lost in
the music. It had become watered down. I was hearing it but not feeling
it. What's a soul music lover to do?<b><br /></b><br />
<br />
A few
years earlier upon still buying new dance singles on a regular basis, I
stumbled upon the music of two bands from the UK that seemed to be oh so
inspired by the soul, jazz and funk I grew up on, <span style="color: #cc0000;"><b>Brand New </b><b>Heavies </b></span>
(whom I first bought thanks to <b>Lil Louis</b> dropping "<i><b>Dream Come True</b></i>" in
his set at Coconuts) and Jamiroquai. I clung to those two bands with all
my might hoping for more from them and often wondered if or when they
were coming with sophomore albums. Furthermore, being that they were
both from overseas, I often wondered were there more artists out there
like them. <br />
<br />
Enter Gramaphone Record store and the
newly formed acid jazz section. I was unclear what acid jazz was
initially but if those two bands were filed there, I wanted know who
they were filed next to. Perusing I go. DAMN these albums are expensive
lol. All imports from the UK and Japan of artists I'd never seen or
heard before. The album covers are speaking to me but how do I decide on
who to try?<br />
<br />
Enter a magazine called Straight No Chaser. This mag was the holy
grail of all good things soulful, funky and jazzy in music. This mag
became my bible. It seriously opened me up to a whole new world.
Artists, dj's, producers, record labels and soulful culture from all
around the globe, from the UK street soul and funk jazz movement ie
<span style="color: blue;"><b>Incognito, Young Disciples, James Taylor Quartet, Outside, Drizabon</b></span>e etc
all the way to the movement in Japan ie <span style="color: #cc0000;"><b>Monday Michiru, Mondo Grosso,
United Future Organization, Kyoto Jazz Massive </b></span>etc. I was blown away. I
felt this movement was tailored just for me. Music that was
progressively nostalgic, drawing heavily from the era that shaped my
palate but with a freshness making it timeless. Had me <b>hooked, line and sinker</b>
lol. My mission was to buy every release I could find, especially those
on the <b>Talkin' Loud, Acid Jazz, Dorado, Idyllic, Lollop or 99 Record</b>
labels. Took my paycheck <b>every week</b> LMAO.<br />
<br />
The
downfall, in a sense, was the community of others who felt this music
as I did, in Chicago, was a small one. There weren't many outlets in the
manner of nightlife that fed this music and movement so I'm thankful to
DJs like <b>G-Most, Daniel Givens, Jesse de la Pena, Tone B. Nimble</b> and a
handful of others who took the movement to places like the <b>Elbo Room,
Lava Lounge, Liquid Kitty</b> and the early days of <b>Red Dog</b>. This era grew
me up musically. Through it, I learned so much more about black music
history especially jazz. It's crazy how it took the oversea market to
introduce to me to the music of labels like <b>Black Jazz, Strata East,
Tribe</b> etc. I learned more about <b>Blue Note</b> and just American jazz and
funk as a whole. And if it had not been for this era and Gramaphone
filing <b>The Roots</b> "<i><b>Organix</b></i>", <b>Guru</b>'s "<i><b>Jazzmatazz</b></i>" and <b>Digable Planets </b>in
the acid jazz section, I would have never given hip hop my ear. This led
me to the jazzy boom bap side of hip hop. This era would also serve as
the precursor to what would become the neo-soul (side eye) era.<br />
<br />
*I
should note that there were a few labels, artists and college radio
stations like <b>WCLK in ATL, Groove Collective, The Solsonics, Ubiquity
& Giant Steps</b> who held the movement down in the states. <br />
<br />
This
year, many classic albums from this era turn 20* and I felt it my duty
to create this special podcast episode as a tribute to those albums and
this era that shaped me fully into the music lover that I am today.
Check out the collage of 20 of my favorites released in 1994 and give
this episode your ear. I think the music is as fresh today as it was
when I first heard it but then again, I have super fond memories
attached to it. I hope you don't mind my reminiscing LOL.<br />
(*<span style="color: #cc0000;"><b>Outside</b></span> "<i><b>Almost In</b></i>" & <span style="color: #cc0000;"><b>Izit</b></span> "<i><b>The Whole Affair</b></i>" were released in '93 but stateside in '94)<br />

Keyboard wizard, producer <span style="color: #0b5394;"><b>Mark de Clive-Lowe</b></span> is back with blowing our minds once again with his new full length inspired by his highly successful L.A. and NYC club night "<span style="color: red;"><i><b>Church</b></i></span>" and like the event, the album finds him doing what he does best; blending cosmic jazz and electric dance grooves through a mix of live instrumentation and electronics creating some of the most soulful and progressive tunes of the 21st Century. And no "<span style="color: red;"><i><b>Church</b></i></span>" experience is complete without a stellar cast of guest singers and musicians including emcee <b>John Robinson</b>, <b>Miguel Atwood Ferguson, Jamire Williams</b>, <b>theeKIDICARUS</b>, first lady <b>Nia Andrews</b> and many more. This album will surely land on my Best Of 2014 list. COP IT NOW!<br />

After being blown away by their 2012 debut album "<span style="color: #999999;"><i><b>Chequered Thoughts</b></i></span>", I have eagerly anticipated a follow up from the unit, once known as <span style="color: #999999;"><b>Funkommunity</b></span>. At last, they're back with that follow up under a new name and boasting a deeper sound. Now called <span style="color: #f6b26b;"><b>Sorceress</b></span>, the New Zealand based group led by producer <span style="color: orange;"><b>Isaac Aesili</b></span> and singer <span style="color: orange;"><b>Rachel Fraser</b></span>, continue to cast spells and work their music magic with "<span style="color: #f6b26b;"><i><b>Dose</b></i></span>", their new album that will surely having you overdosing on it all summer. With their style of electrosoul intact, Sorceress take it deeper and more energetic with grooves a bit more melodic and tight. Danceable at times, fun and free flowing throughout. I highly recommend you take a "dose" of this goodness.<br />

In the fall of 2012, <span style="color: #f1c232;"><b>Daniel Crawford</b></span> got us to swallow the <b>"<i><a href="http://www.kevinnottingham.com/2012/09/16/daniel-crawford-red-pill/" target="_blank">Red Pill</a></i>"</b>. Reeling from that high, a year later, we felt the "<i><a href="http://www.kevinnottingham.com/2013/10/27/daniel-crawford-side-effects/" target="_blank">Side Effects</a></i>". Now, we are prepared for "<i><span style="color: #f1c232;"><b>The Awakening</b></span></i>". On this highly anticipated sophomore album, Daniel offers up his most cohesive project to date and that's saying a lot given that his previous releases were stellar. On <i>The Awakening</i>, he draw heavily from jazz, soul and fusion of yester years, like using a rear view mirror. to guide his travels ahead bringing forth a modern classic with hints of ancestral rhythms throughout. Including the much buzzed about single "<i><span style="color: #f1c232;"><b>Home</b></span></i>" that features <b>Cleveland P.</b> <b>Jones </b>on vocals, his tribute to the late, great George Duke and appearances from <b>Vikter Duplaix, Amp</b> <b>Fiddler</b> and flautist <b>Monet</b>, this album will definitely land top 10 on my Best Of 2014 list. Did I mention his killer covers of Prince and Fela Kuti? Yeah Daniel did NOT play around. Check it out below and cop NOW!<br />

<br />
Ever so often an artist seemingly comes out of the woodwork and just blow my mind, and in 2014 that artist name is <span style="color: #990000;"><b>James Tillman</b></span>. The D.C native dropped his debut ep this week and my ONLY gripe is that with only four songs, it leaves me wanting more. Built on his love of music and listening to his parents collection that consisted of everything from <b>Joni Mitchell</b> to <b>Afrika Bambataa</b>, his debut ep "<span style="color: #990000;"><b>Shangri La</b></span>" is a glorious blend of jazzy soul with a hint of folk with a vocal delivery and tones that flows a like a river. Word on the street is he's working on a full length so get this slice of beauty below and prepare. It's the best four dollars you will ever spend in your life.<b>COP IT NOW!</b><br />

After turning it up a notch with the house oriented single "<span style="color: #e06666;"><i><b>Man x Woman</b></i></span>", Amsterdam based singer, musician <span style="color: #ea9999;"><b><span style="color: #e06666;">Mar</span></b></span><span style="color: #e06666;"> </span>is slowing it down a bit and bringing it back to "<span style="color: #e06666;"><i><b>Form</b></i></span>" on this new two track ep. Starting with "<span style="color: #e06666;"><i><b>A Simple Go</b></i></span>" co-produced by his longtime collaborator <span style="color: #e06666;"><b>Full Crate</b></span>, mellowing out the groove while Mar spell out the (not so) simplicity of couple being where they wanna be. Then the <span style="color: #e06666;"><b>Malin Genie</b></span> produced "<span style="color: #e06666;"><i><b>Ode To Her</b></i></span>" takes us on a scenic ride down a long road while Mar express his admiration and seemingly infatuation with this heavenly being. And it's available as a free download. Get it below. <br />

<span style="color: #999999;"><b>Jesse Boykins III</b></span> is truly the hardest working man on the global underground circuit and she shows absolutely no sign of slowing down anytime soon. Today the soul prince posted a lyric video to a new dance oriented song "<span style="color: #999999;"><i><b>Plain</b></i></span>" produced by <b>Machinedrum</b>. This tune brings us one step closer to the long awaited release of his second official full length album "<span style="color: #999999;"><i><b>Love Apparatus</b></i></span>". Plain and simple it's fun, fun, fun. If you need a little pep in your step, a little pick me up, press play on this video and I'm sure you feel a little bounce. <br />

Fresh off a whirlwind of a year with extensive touring, the highest buzz thanks to a video from their live cd/dvd "Family Dinner" going viral resulting in a Grammy win, <span style="color: #45818e;"><b>Snarky Puppy</b></span> is on top of the world and they are proclaiming "<span style="color: #45818e;"><i><b>We Like It Her</b></i>e</span>". The latest project finds the collective showing their best side once again, live performance. Recorded with a studio audience over 4 nights in the Netherlands, this cd/dvd combo proves to be another winner as the Snarky crew offer up another fresh batch of experimental and cohesive soulful jazz fusion. Funky most of the time and orchestral throughout. I don't think the fellas will be slowing down anytime soon. Click the link below to purchase in all formats.<br />

Shout out to my homie, graphic designer <b>Graham Haynes</b> for turning me on to this talented producer and singer <span style="color: #741b47;"><b>Zetroc</b></span>. Hailing from Louisiana Jamey Brown aka <span style="color: #741b47;"><b>Zetroc</b></span> started in the studio back in 08 just experimenting. Six years later, that experimenting has turned into this glorious debut ep. Dealing with the ups and downs of life including the loss of his mother, <span style="color: #741b47;"><b>Zetroc</b></span> dug deep into his soul and "<span style="color: #274e13;"><i><b>Atrophy</b></i></span>" was born.<br />
<br />
"<i><b><span style="color: #274e13;">Atrophy</span></b> is somewhat of a running joke I had with myself about this
record (sorry it took so long) and the title also serves as a testament
to what I've learned and applied as a producer and individual. At the
time I started working on this I had a limited amount of resources to
create, However I felt that these compositions were born out of
necessity rather than the luxury of having various tools at my reach.
With every sound you may hear in this music; Every single one was a
learning process. Which often times left me with mixed feelings of
excitement and resentment towards this learning curve and the project in
general. In "<span style="color: #274e13;"><b>Atrophy</b></span>", I wrote about experiences of mine within a
particular six year period of my life. From losing my mother, to
Deconstructing hopelessness, and finding love in someone who mirrors the
worst parts of you as a person...and resenting them for it. <span style="color: #274e13;"><b>Atrophy </b></span>is
my reaction to what could happen if I were to not use my creativity and
expression as a means to actually feel alive. No matter how challenging
or foreign the process may be, The most frightening thing is always is
not knowing what could have happened</i>"<br />
<br />
Check out this amazing debut filled with experimental soulful goodness and I'm sure he'll stay on your radar.<br />

Uk singer <span style="color: #e06666;"><b>Ego Ella May</b></span> is back with the follow up to her 2013 debut ep "<span style="color: #93c47d;"><i><b>The Tree</b></i></span>" that landed in my Best EP's of 2013. On "<span style="color: #e06666;"><i><b>Breathing Underwater</b></i></span>" there is no sophomore jinx as she continue to push the boundaries of r&b with her brand of electronic future soul mostly produced by <span style="color: #93c47d;"><b>Mini-D</b></span> and two tracks by <b>Soulection</b> labelmate <span style="color: #93c47d;"><b>IAMNOBODI</b></span>. She surely will become a staple on the global scene. Check it out and download.<br />

The homies <b>AB</b> and <b>14KT</b> drop the first official video from their collaborative album "<i><b>Saturn Return</b></i>", an album that made my Top 10 Soul Albums of 2013 list. And since the story of the album is predominantly about growing in the game of love and we are approaching Valentine's Day, it's befitting that they chose the sexy, boombapstic tune "<i><b>Can I Be Your Lover</b></i>" for this occasion. Follow this couple in the vid as they deal with the all realness that a relationship bring below and if you haven't, I URGE YOU to cop "<i><b>Saturn Return</b></i>" <b><a href="http://www.saturnreturnalbum.com/" target="_blank">here</a></b> and <b>NOW</b>!<br />
