"with its blend of Isaac Hayes, Curtis Mayfield, 'Papa Was a Rolling Stone'-era Temptations, and '70s sweet soul (e. g a cover of David Gates & Bread's 'Make It with You'), Super Slick wears its influences very much on its sleeve while transcending them with soaring, falsetto-filigreed harmonies, percolating bass, and note-perfect arrangements. Trivia note: that's Richard Berry of 'Louie Louie' fame doing the deep-voiced spoken word parts on 'Super Slick' and 'Shorty the Pimp.' We're pressing this in blue vinyl to match the album cover'this is a reissue that's been a long time comin'!" - Real Gone Music

"MMYYKK’s Science EP arrives at a time when the world needs it. The eponymous title track is about recognising the power and connection that we all have to the cosmos - and it feels like no coincidence that this body of work arrives in 2021.
The EP balances universal themes with playfulness; asks hard questionsrelating to accountability and materiality whilst remaining musically cohesive and funky throughout. An exceedingly difficult artist to pigeonhole, MMYYKK (pronounced Mike) works concurrently within the realms of soul, jazz, hip hop, R&B and ambient; his sound equally indebted to his fellow west-coast natives Thundercat and Flying Lotus as it is to synth experimentalists Herbie Hancock and Stevie Wonder." - Rhythm Section International

Acres of Diamonds is the 4th LP by ILL Conscious which is solely produced by Camden, NJ’s Mute Won.

"In his 10th full-length album, independent artist and producer David Davis offers his most explosive collaborative work as an extraordinary musician and producer yet - “Remembering Aaliyah” - His latest solo recording project as an artist and producer. His eclectic style in arrangements range from Smooth Jazz, Soul, Hip Hop, Fusion and R&B. Although David has a very unique sound of his own, some of his notable influences are Jackie Mclean, Kenny Garrett, Gerald Albright, Kirk Whalum and Najee.
A tribute project 10 years in the making; I believe and know the world is NOW ready for this project and it has been taken off the shelf to complete. I have always loved the music and voice of Aaliyah. She had a magnetic and enigmatic energy about her. She was compared to being the modern day Donna Summers. It has been technically engineered to literally make you feel good (tuned to 444hz vs 440hz). Each song is featuring an incredible singer and/or musician. You will not be disappointed!" - David Davis

"Announcing new album ‘Strata Records – The Sound of Detroit – Reimagined by Jazzanova’, BBE Music, DJ Amir and 180 Proof records present the first single from the project, ‘Creative Musicians, featuring remixes by Waajeed and Henrik Schwarz.
‘Strata Records – The Sound of Detroit – Reimagined by Jazzanova’ is no ‘covers’ album, rather a brand-new celebration of the iconic imprint, as Jazzanova’s take on Lyman Woodard Organization’s musical manifesto ‘Creative Musicians’ makes clear from its Afrobeat-inspired horn arrangements, drum track, and syncopated tempo.
The vocalist for these sessions is Sean Haefeli, who originally hails from Indianapolis, and brings a relaxed urgency to his contributions, sounding like a young Gil Scott-Heron.
Leveraging his 20 plus year friendship with legendary Detroit DJ/Producer extraordinaire, Waajeed, Amir enlists him for a special four-to-the-floor mix that not only keeps that organic vibe but also adds a unique contemporary Detroit flavour!
Henrik Schwarz needs little introduction to fans of eclectic electronic sounds. For over thirty years, his amazing body of work has packed dancefloors worldwide. Henrik takes ‘Creative Musicians’ in a slightly different direction, retaining many of Jazzanova’s original elements while adding his signature sound to the mix, providing another dance floor scorcher!
And just to give you proper context, we have included the cult-classic, much-loved original version of ‘Creative Musicians’ by the Lyman Woodard Organization." - BBE Records
There's no doubt that the music of Nuwamba is cool as a fan as he envisions love and happiness. Witness the sound of a musicians who gets soft as the sands on the coast of Africa and projects feelings that are as heavenly as the atmosphere. Nuwamba does an excellent job at delivering pleasant vibrations to your eardrum as an outstanding and unique voice of R&B/Soul. The result is music that is a celebration of life, designed to help you make it through.
