Newark based producer Rahshon Bright aka Nadus is making some of the smoothest juke you'll ever hear, made with his signature blend of fast paced percussion, soulful synths and vocal hooks. His unique style and alignment with Brick Bandits and Mad Decent has garnered him attention from some of the worlds best hip-hop and dance producers with names like Diplo , Sinden , Munchi , Dave Nada and Flosstradamus all flying the Nadus flag. His remix of [...]

In a bizarre parallel dimension where aliens & super beings do exist, the soundtrack to their entire mischievous goings on would be documented by this bootleg by Charles F Meyer III (aka Crunch Theory ). If C.T. is the sole person responsible for all this madness that's happening with The Isley Brothers going all peculiar & uncanny – then blame him and not his bookmaker okay??? 'Who's That Lady? ...' Who's his source more like???? Just mental !!! THE ISLEY BROTHERS – Who's That Lady? (Crunch Theory Recrunch)
Next to Buddy Miles version of "Down By The River," this is one of the stronger explorations of Neil Young's work in the vein of soul/r&b. Culled from the 1971 album Givin' It Back, the Brothers set the tone with a military drum cadence before sliding in nice and slow. Working up a medley between [...]
All of My Children, Days of Our Lives, The Young and the Restless and General Hospital—all are good soap operas with interesting storylines and well-developed characters. But each of those soaps are like candles in the sun compared to The R. Kelly & Mr. Biggs Saga. The Kellz and Biggs story had it all: Drama—check. Good storyline—check. Romance—check. Conflict, attractive women and lots of sex—check, check and check. Shit, not even the Goku vs. Frieza saga can compare to Kelly vs. Biggs. Although Robert Kelly would go on to write the extremely entertaining " Trapped in [...]
It was in a place called The Video Café in London's West End that I first became aware of Whitney Houston. In 1985 the concept of a restaurant playing video promos of pop music on big screens was still so novel as to present a special gastronomic experience. So I heard, and saw, Whitney singing How Will I Know there. She wouldn't bother the British charts for another few months when she topped the charts with her cover of Marilyn McCoo's Saving All My Love. We know the [...]
Greetings from the gutter. That's where my mind is at the moment, and in honor of Valentine's Day on Tuesday, I'm going to spend the weekend splashing around down here, paying musical tribute to the next best thing two people can do together after falling in love (which, if you're lucky, will lead to even more of this). For those who prefer some music on the side, I've curated the perfect V-Day soundtrack. I didn't realize until I was halfway through that it's dominated by male performers. Female singers may move me more overall, [...]
Just one glimpse of the artwork adorning Paralytic Stalks, the umpteenth (read eleventh) LP from Athens, Georgia (read Kevin Barnes)'s of Montreal suggests that it's not to be the record that sanitises his, nor indeed our sanity. That's not to say that there aren't moments of the subdued or unostentatious as Barnes hops across a spectrum of stylistic categorisation like a mildly maniacal nymph even within relatively concise pieces but we wouldn't want him any other way, right? Barnes 'doing' Piaf, or Garland, or swinging while he's winning would be categorically vulgar, no? [...]
Apparently Friday 13th is an unlucky day. I was born on the 13th, and turned 13 on Friday 13th, and that day I won £13 on 13 10p scratch cards, so I actually think it's a pretty lucky day. Friday January 13th 2012 at Gigantic also turned out to be a lucky one. First off, there was a bus load of about 100+ people up from Dublin for some private dinner/party thing before the club started. This meant the room was pretty full for when the club kicked off, and they were already well on their way to [...]
Isley Brothers: If You Were There [purchase] On one of my trips to Charleston, South Carolina I stopped off at a store to buy an album I wasn't really familiar with: the Isley Brothers 3 + 3. It became a soundtrack for that sunny weekend spent on the beach, in fine restaurants, among good friends and relatives. Every time I got in my car, I played the CD ...which kicks off with 5 and half minutes of their huge 1973 hit "That Lady, Pt 1 & 2". Big memories? Not [...]
Sartorially speaking, I've come a long way since the '80s. But then, haven't we all? While my older brother Jeff was rocking a blend of Ready for the World and Purple Rain , Jheri curl and all (he and his friends entered a high-school "air band" contest as Prince and the Revolution performing "Let's Go Crazy" but lost to a bunch of toga-wearing future frat boys mouthing the Isley Brothers' "Shout"), I was going for something a little more uptown elegant. My personal fashion icon: soul singer Jeffrey Osborne, whose [...]
I've said it before: no other series on this blog is as much fun to put together than the Covered With Soul compilations. And I've yet a few mixes in store. There are have been a couple of pretty radical reworkings of songs; Maxine Weldon 's interpretation of George Gershwin's I'll Build A Stairway To Paradise (best known, perhaps, as Georges Guetary's showstopper in the An American In Paris musical) is one of them. On the other hand, if the version of Spirit In The Sky by The Stovall Sisters has [...]
You may know by now I've got a bit of a penchant for some sleazy/RnBified/HipHopy/sample d/deep housey/edity things... and well here's one such example of something thats ticking my boxes. More of a decent DJ tool to slip in and out of set but cool all the same. Nicely being given away free by the homeys over at Klasse Records... if you haven't yet go check their new compilation out ... its da bomb! Isley Brothers - Between the Sheets (Mr. Ho refix) by Klasse Recordings
Things have been looking way up for Mayer Hawthorne , the soothing soul-pop singer whose music often sounds like a classic throwback to another era. Hawthorne signed to Universal Records half way through the production of his newest album, How Do You Do , which was released earlier this month and debuted at #1 on iTunes R&B/Soul Chart. When he's not bowling at White House in DC, he's traveling throughout the US and Canada, on his worldwide tour . Last week Hawthorne performed his hit single "The Walk" on The Late Show with David Letterman [...]
