I was floored by this song the first time I heard it and it continues to be one of my favorite Frank Turner songs of all time. When our friend Ben Morse tweeted this I could not download and listen to it fast enough. Franz Nicolay covering this song seems like a bit of a dream come true. It's just as wonderful as you think it is. [Listen to the original here .] Franz Nicolay - Balthazar Impresario (Frank Turner Cover)

Download: Collective Efforts - "Until My Life's Gone" (Nicolay Remix) 'Off The Shelf' is the name of a recurring series on +FE Music. For each episode, Nicolay digs into his archives to present you with a gem that has never been released, or that has otherwise been forgotten about. That's the short version of the reason why the follow-up to "The Dutch Masters Vol. 13 (2005) never came to be. I started working on it in 2007 for a planned 2008 release, but the re-emergence of The Foreign Exchange and all [...]
Nicolay's Off The Shelf series is officially back. You might remember that he started it back in 2009, when he decided that he would dig into his vaults and liberate some tracks he felt just had to be heard. They included a swoon-worthy remix of United Soul's " Soul Clap " and a moody take on " Dakari " by the Last Poets. And now that he's looking through his hard-drives again, the Dutch producer has found a track that was supposed to land on Dutch Masters Vol. 2 . But because time flies - his words [...]

After growing up surrounded by hip-hop, in my late teens I moved to a place where underground hip-hop heads were scarce, and I primarily had to rely on myself to find under-the-radar emcees and producers. Without much in the form of exterior stimulation, I used mixes as a way to listen closer to new musical finds. I made a number of mixes in the tape era, but with the first CD-burner I purchased in '98 or so, hip-hop mixes for myself became routine. They were quickly assembled and provided with no tracklist; simply labeled in numeric order starting with "Mix [...]
The plan at the beginning of the year was to support one Kickstarter project a month. Then came unemployment threats and panic and I stopped doing it all together in April/May. Well, the job thing really hasn't gotten any better but it hasn't gotten any worse either so I'd been tossing the idea of picking up the process again when I came across Franz Nicolay's kickstarter . On his kickstarter page is an amazing FAQ he penned that you should go read even if you don't contribute to his plight. Well, in said FAQ he manages to capture the [...]

Multi-instrumentalist and musician-about-town Franz Nicolay has launched a Kickstarter campaign to help fund the recording and production of his next studio album, Do the Struggle . Here's what Nicolay had to say about taking the approach: "You may be asking yourself, "This guy's made a couple records without needing my help, why is he coming around with his digital paw out now?" Remember when Prince got all worked up in the '90s about owning his master recordings? It's still important - and in a digital-download world, it's even [...]

The Foreign Exchange - Dear Friends: An Evening With The Foreign Exchange FE+ Music: 2011 What began as a side project for Little Brother emcee Phonte has morphed into the focus of his music career. Phonte and Nicolay as The Foreign Exchange debuted seven years ago during a very short lived revival of Native Tongue-isms with their praised conscious lounge set Connected. Four years later FE alienated many of that fan base as they transformed into a full blown contemporary adult R&B act and gained a whole new audience. [...]
