Just when I thought they couldn't do it any better, SoulBounce went & eclipsed their previous Mary mix by doing an all-male rendering of My Life . I'll let them explain. Fifteen years ago Mary J. Blige released My Life , a breakthrough album chronicling her inner struggles while catapulting her to superstardom as the Queen of Hip Hop Soul. In celebration of this milestone, we gathered nine dynamic male artists to record re-imaginings of their favorite My Life songs for [...]

Some sights and sounds from the downplayed and overlooked day three of Outside Lands. The hell with Pearl Jam and Dave Matthews — Nino Moschella>Betty Lavette>Atmosphere>The Dead Weather>Heartless Bastards>Ween>Tenacious D made for a pretty damn good Sunday. Frankly, The Dead Weather's set alone was worth the price of admission. THE DEAD WEATHER A snippet from "Cut Like A Buffalo": [...]

Nino Moschella started out four-tracking funk-soul that sounded like Sly and Shuggie and Stevie in a mountain shack at midnight and exploded into fidelity once he visited the wider world. His newest Boomshadow is out now on Ubiquity. This interview by Daiana Feuer.

I just tripped onto Nino Moschella ; he's this super funky artist slash producer slash recording engineer slash amazing d00d who also just opened his own fully equipped recording joint in East Bay called Bird & Egg. Exciting stuff. I've had his new record, Boom Shadow , on fresh cycles and it's definitely funky with super chill soul and great arrangements. Please take his We Fight track on your afternoon route. It's so ill. Also enjoy a labelmate collabo with Shawn Lee called Kiss the Sky! We [...]

I am a sucker for the experimental funk sound of Nino Moschella. For some reason, his music hits me as a more interesting fusion of influences than the closet comparison I can think of, which is Jamie Lidell. I prefer...

Laura Smith Genre: Indie Pop (with Folk/Jazz twist) Vancouver, BC Laura Smith is a very talented singer-songwriter from Vancouver, BC Canada. Laura is joined by Andrew Braun, Jeff Riedlinger (Sam Bradley) and Johnny Andrews (Tegan and Sara, DB Clifford, Holly McNarland) for the release of the band's debut album, titled Sea of Stars in November 2008. The band is currently playing their first beyond the Prairies [...]
"Continue to Call" has a little bit of a stylistic identity crisis at the start - from Spencer Kruggish detuned keyboard rock to electro/dance vibes - before it finally settles into its soul / funk cradle. Good thing - the bulk of the track by Nino Moschella trumps what was for me a skeptical start, spilling out from this freespirited core which so rarely comes naturally in music these days. Take or leave the "I'm gone and I'm empowered" relationship story - this one's good for mindless groovin' if you're so inclined. It's not as [...]
Slipping just under my radar last week was the new release from California funk-soulmeister Nino Moschella . His debut a couple years back, The Fix , was heavy on the retro 70's soul/funk sound - think Parliament, Sly, Shuggie Otis and the like (yep even Prince) - and his new one continues down that road - but advances even further production-wise. The album is Boom Shadow , and even with all the comparisons and retro feel, you've still never heard anything like it. Moschella's arrangements and production [...]
