Someone managed to plunder the master tape's of Philadelphia's Philly World Record's Alpha Studios and help themselves to all the choice instrumentals of their uptempo boogie numbers. Much respect, and thank you. You needn't book me for a DJ gig ever again, just play these off your laptop, sway in a gentle yet off balance motion out of time with the music, don't dress well and frown a lot, the experience will be the same as a BlackShag DJ set if not better, as your laptop won't trainwreck and blame it on the way the last DJ balanced the [...]
I'm sure by now, you've been bombarded by information on this weekend's big music festival - the RVA Music Fest . It's safe to say that Shockoe Bottom is going to be insanely crowded and lots of good music will be heard.

Just look at everything included in the two-day festival. RVA Music Fest Showcases - Saturday, [...]

If there's one thing that keeps our fearless leader Richard Giraldi going through Chicago's brutal, unrelenting winters it's the mantra: "Chicago summers are beautiful." Local roots reggae band Akasha agrees because its new video – directed by Josh Kalven – for "Ooh U Got Me" celebrates those gorgeous and sweaty Chicago summers with scenes of people frolicking at the beach, the Critical Mass riders and an unfrozen Lake Michigan over a smooth, relaxing beat. You can check out Akasha when they play Lincoln Hall on Wednesday, February 23. [...]
Smith Westerns Hope everyone has a fun and frightening Halloween last weekend. Now, it looks like we're in the dog days of Autumn and the stretch run of 2010.

Akasha - Brown Sugar (MP3) Akasha - Brown Sugar (PFM's Cosmic Journey Mix) (MP3) I was a bit torn over which version of this track to post. The original brings back very fond, hazy memories of being a narcotic induced 17/18 year old, no doubt on a come down at one of the numerous friends after parties we used to end up at. This, more than likely, was after experimenting in the confines of either the Boardwalk or the Music Box in Manchester (most notably, club nights One [...]
Akasha say they make a jazedelic slice of psychedelic pop. I say really good jazzy, trip hop (don't be put off by the term) with dub underpinnings. They are a duo, comprising Charlie Casey and Damian Hand. They were originally signed to Wall of Sound, but now appear on Ra Recordings. Their debut album "Cinematique" was released in 1998, followed by "Love Philtre Magick" in 2003. In Charlie's own words: Formed in 1994, in Brixton the first steps came when we were offered a space on a DJ Bizzniss EP for one track as Damian had [...]
On Friday night, my troupe and I set out to attend the Green Apple Music Festival show that was going on at the Double Door -- Juice and the Machine with the Drastics and Akasha . I've got some friends in Akasha so I've been fortunate enough to watch this band grow from something impromptu at a weekly gig at a BBQ joint to a band working to fuse together rock, hip hop, reggae, and garage blues into one cohesive sound [...]
