Seductive Souls "Spirit"

Groovin' 1st proper full length from Seductive Souls which is headed by German producer, songwriter Rob Hardt. Rob has produced & remixed for some of the best in the business including Chaka Khan, Zapp & Roger, Cheryl Lynn to name a few. On this project, he invited some great singers from all over the world & put together a project full of energy & groove that takes me back to the 70's or some of the great soul that re-emerged in the UK in the 90's or what they called Acid Jazz. There's also quite a bit of groovin' funk. Listen to this tune below that at some points remind me of a good  Jamiroquai tune & get the full download or cd at http://www.amazon.com/Spirit/dp/B003UGNFSK.


                         

B. Lewis "La Semaine"

A BANGIN!!!! project from California producer, engineer B. Lewis.  La Semaine is so much more than just a beattape, it's a 7 day excursion of sound study & adventure had by Lewis. Each track has a theme & a complete thought with a guest appearance from Dutch singer Mar (FullCrate & Mar). I HIGHLY RECOMMEND getting this FREE DOWNLOAD! Also, go to his myspace page http://www.myspace.com/mywishfullthinking17 to get links to 3 other projects  that are killer as well.

                
 

Nate Smith "Scrapbook: Water Baby Music 1.5"

YES!!! Been waiting on something new from Nate Smith. Just in case I need to introduce you to, Nate is a VA born multi instrumentalist & producer who spend most of his recent days on the road as the drummer for legendary jazz bassist Dave Holland. He also produced 2 songs on YahZarah's "The Ballad Of Purple St. James" (one of which also appears on his 1st project "Workday: Water Baby Music 1.0") & has worked with Ali Shaheed Muhammad of Tribe Called Quest & the gone too soon King Of Pop  Michael Jackson to name a few.
"Scrapbook: Water Baby Music 1.5" is a collection of instrumentals, some old some new, that Nate hope will be used a part of the soundtrack of your life's journey. He seamlessly blend his love of hiphop, the beats & mood of the NuSoul movement with his mastery of jazz. Throughout you'll hear the recorded voices of people who've affected & influenced his musical journey starting with Phonte of Foreign Exchange as well as his partner Nicolay, Soul Sensation Emily King, UK singer Cecilia Stalin, VA soul artist Jarrard Anthony & host of others. 
For soul cats, beat heads & jazzy hiphop aficionado's THIS IS A MUST HAVE!!!!!!! So come & get it.
