Via: Rap-Up Almost a decade ago, R&B's princess was Ashanti. The singer who stepped onto the scene in 2002, under the Murder Inc. umbrella, was the premiere female soloist in R&B. Her first year on the scene, no one was knocking her from the top. Then came along an already established female in the industry with blonde locks... Since then, Ashanti's popularity has been on a steady decline. Today, she releases her first bit of music in well over a year. "Never Too Far Away" is produced by L.T. Hutton and [...]

Drei Dinge haben sich in meinem Kopf festgesetzt, Saxophon, Jazz und Elektronische Musik. Desto verblüffter war ich bis ich das Video Beat Jazz von Onyx Ashanti gesehen habe. Dieser macht nämlich Musik mit einem selbst gebauten Live-Controller. Also das Gerät ist wirklich ne krasse Nummer... Das er bereits mit Größen wie Marshall Jefferson, Soul II Soul und Basement Jaxx zusammen gearbeitet hat, zeigt bereits über welche Fähigkeiten er verfügt. BEAT JAZZ by ONYX ASHANTI from Tom Plümmer on [...]

Remember the 1987 R&B dance single "Why You Treat Me So Bad?" by Club Nouveau ? The single charted #39 on the Billboard Hot 100 on the merit of the melodic hook and signature keyboard and rhythmic arrangement. If the name still doesn't ring a bell, perhaps it would be best to put the song into context with the numerous artists who have sampled it on their own hit singles. First, you should listen to Club Nouveau's "Why You Treat Me So Bad?" right here . Maybe you'd be more [...]

www.youtube.com/watch?v=-0v7mT vJ8M4 This could be the coolest idea you'll see all year. Onyx Ashanti is a musician from Berlin pushing the boundries of electronic music and improvisation. Beatjazz is his creation, software and devices that he created to make music with movement. His setupi includes an iPhone, 2 custom controllers and a mouthpiece which track movements, breath and buttons on the controllers. Not only is this idea amazing, the track bumps too, so grab the mp3 of the video below. DOWNLOAD: Onyx Ashanti- Beatjazz

Looks like a [...]

Давно не получалось что-то написать, то славная поездка в Питер где играл в Джисусе, то подготовка к дню рождения блога, то еще что-то. Но этот день все же пришел, и вот, целый скоп новых треков, релизов и других новостей. А дабы заинтересовать не сухим текстом - несколько треков, дуетов недели так сказать. Первый - инди-хаус ремикс L-Viss 1990 для Roun Table Knights из ипишки, что вроде как вышла на днях. Меланхолично и таинственно, под стать все не покидающей моде на витч хаус и перевернутые кресты. Актуально так же для тех, кто еще не слышал о вечеринке [...]

Just saw this new commercial for Call of Duty: Black Ops over at the Dopehouse . I guess they decided to hit up some gamer friends over in L.A. to be featured in this. Ashanti , Jimmy Kimmel , and Kobe Bryant are the ones I recognized on my first watch through. Pretty dope commercial.. the only thing that I'm left confused about after this is, what the hell is Ashanti doing there? Does she even do music any more or have any social relevance what-so-ever? -daNk [...]
