The Boxer Rebellion – Promises

THE BOXER REBELLION 'DIAMONDS'
This is just what it sounds like when it’s done right; an indie rock record by those lately dearly missed lads after coming back around the block, two years older and two years wiser – still making bombastic, swaggering, melancholic rock music. But listen closer. This time they are subtly more perceptive, in composure, mainly The post The Boxer Rebellion - Promises appeared first on Nothing But Hope And Passion - NBHAP - Music Magazine & more .

LJ Reynolds - Trust In Me (Big Jacks Discotechnology edit)

Sep 29, 2012, 2:43pm Disco Filter
LJ Reynolds - Trust In Me (Big Jacks Discotechnology edit) So many quintessential artists of the disco boogie-era -- that early-80s period when commercialized disco had flopped and the sound became less mainstream and more electronic -- hailed from the Detroit area. LJ Reynolds is one of those Motor City artists, and he continues to tour and perform today in small clubs across the country as part of the Dramatics . But back in 1982, his album Travelin ' had just come out on Capitol Records and Trust in Me was blasting on radios [...]

Some People Are Made of Plastic, Some People Are Made of Wood

Apr 27, 2012, 12:42pm Goldkicks
Some People Are Made of Plastic, Some People Are Made of Wood The Dramatics Whatcha See Is Whatcha Get The Dramatics were another workhorse R&B outfit from Detroit that spanned a couple of decades, making a couple of chart appearances, including this great slinky example of 70's soul from 1971 that hit #1 and sold a cool million. Their first studio album was released after a string of singles, and has a laid-back vocal style heavy on harmonizing, similar to the Temptations, but not without its own charms. The group didn't boast a voice with the [...]

EIMIC made it clear to me that there are hardly any...

EIMIC - Parade
EIMIC made it clear to me that there are hardly any ‘indie” bands in Moscow. Everything is Made in China (EIMIC) should be be proud that they are one of them, as they represent their country well with a dramatic take on alt rock. The false happiness theme that is so prevalent in new single “Parade”, brings to light the darker sides of things in the Russia capital. Layers upon layers are slowly added to build up the chilly tension. This band has made me now fully aware of the Russian music scene. EIMIC [...]

MAIYA PRESENTS…RENDEZVOU S-THE SOUL EDITION

Jan 17, 2012, 11:23am Blind I | The Boutique Music Blog
MAIYA PRESENTS…RENDEZVOU S-THE SOUL EDITION The new year always brings massive periods of reflection for me. Not only do we all start a new chapter, but I have a January birthday, so I’m looking ahead and acknowledging my past simultaneously. I assess where I want to be,  areas of life to improve and lessons to keep in my back pocket.  I’ve always been an extremely deep thinker, and music significantly marks and highlights different seasons on my life. Blind I is making some exciting changes this year and it’s beginning with revamping the way we approach our compilations.  I [...]

The Dramatics: Whatcha See is Whatcha Get

Oct 15, 2011, 12:16pm Hyperbolium
The Dramatics: Whatcha See is Whatcha Get Two-fer of classic 1972 soul LP and its 1973 follow-up The Detroit-based Dramatics first full-length album, Watcha See is Whatcha Get , was also their ticket to the national soul scene. The group had been kicking around in a variety of forms since the mid-60s, but made only light impressions on the charts. They hooked up with Stax in the late ‘60s, but it wasn’t until they returned to Detroit and cut “Whatcha See is Whatcha Get” with producer/songwriter Tony Hester that they really broke through. The single’s chugging Latin beat, tight strings [...]

The Stepkids - Wonderfox (Official Video HD)
"Shadows on Behalf" sounds like it was recorded at several points throughout history - at a '60s soul festival, the set of a '70s porno, a pioneering hip-hop sample demonstration from the ‘80s... it's a wonderful smorgasbord of stylistic periods, to say the least. The best classification for it, and many of The Stepkids’ tracks, [...]

#38 The Dramatics - Whatcha See Is Whatcha Get, 1971

Jul 21, 2011, 6:24pm 1001Songs
#38 The Dramatics - Whatcha See Is Whatcha Get, 1971 The Dramatics: Whatcha See Is Whatcha Get It's true. I lent The Dramatics every formal prom tuxedo I ever rented for their Soul Train appearance. OK. Maybe it's not true. In the early-70's the R&B world seemed tickled by the sounds of the Caribbean. The promises of good times in the sunshine proved irrestible to AM radio. The Bahamian pop band Beginning of the End gave us the #15 hit "Funky Nassau" in 1971. Johnny Nash took "I Can See Clearly Now" to #1 in 1972 and introduced a [...]

DOA Mix: dRamatic & dbAudio This duo has been making a bit of noise - deservedly so. Their "Life Console" has been snapped up by Ingredients, and I remember hearing Fabio & Grooverider bigging it up on Radio 1 mooooonths ago, and being intrigued. We speak on that and other things in this DOA feature , which includes a sick mix on the chilled side.

JiMMY WiTHERSPOON ~ iT NEVER RAiNS BUT iT POURS

Sep 22, 2010, 1:44pm THE DEEP BLUES BLOG
JiMMY WiTHERSPOON ~ iT NEVER RAiNS BUT iT POURS Many years ago my late friend UK Roy Duncan sent me a mix tape. Roy and I exchanged a lot of tapes over the few years we were friends and we'd never include a tracklist because, I guess, we wanted each tape to be a surprise. That was my thought anyway. We'd email a list a few days after the tape was received. Sadly the last tape he sent me was shortly before he passed away so I never got a list for that one. The nice thing is that he knew he didn't have long and [...]

Now On: All You Ever Knew [Music Video]

Aug 24, 2010, 7:43pm Hipster Wave
Now On: All You Ever Knew [Music Video] French animation artist Cedric Berthier heard Now On's song "All You Ever Knew" from their classic album Tomorrow Already and was instantly inspired to create this video. The trio, which includes Mayer Hawthorne along with IX Lives (son of Larry "Squirrel" Demps of the legendary Dramatics) and Jackson Perry, dropped Tomorrow Already in 2008 just before Mayer's debut.
