A few weeks back Mayer Hawthorne , one of 200 Words favourite soul singers, released Designer Drug , an uplifting and cute tune with impressive production that sounded like nothing Hawthorne had done before. On his first album the production was simple and old-fashioned - in a good way - , the arrangements were beautiful and Hawthorne’s voice fitted on top of that beautifully, his second album was more of a straight-forward 2011 blue-eyed soul album and didn’t manage to impress me. Now the soul singer has grown a beard and [...]
It's been a while since we got some funk n soul action on the go here at the Labs and as a wee treat, we've got not one but two rather fine soul mixes today. Coming from Glasgow via Seattle and Toronto, the Dragon Ninjas Djs Kut Cobain & Rakka have delivered a rather tidy mixtape packed with soul n funk goodies put together with a turntablist lean. Expect tunes from The Manhattans , Parliament , Freda Payne and much more. [...]
With the release of his latest oeuvre d'art, Overgrown , James Blake 's profundity has become a musical given. Keeping to the atmospheric, titular track "Overgrown", British songstress, Alice Russell delivered a soul-embracing adaptation for WNYC this week. Complete with piano backing, Russell's experimental vibe suits the artistry in James Blake work quite perfectly, taking it to new depths.

Standish/Carlyon - Gucci Mountain Do you remember Devastations ??? The Aussie band that released that very good Coal LP back in 2006 (and featured this incredible Nick Cave inspired song !), in Greece i could say that their had their moment! Now with Devastations in bed, the members found another moniker to express their musical worries. Standish/Carlyon just released their debut album, the Deleted Scenes LP , but with a [...]
Retro-soul man Mayer Hawthorne is set to release a LP coming this July titled Where Does This Door Go? Here's the first single from that album, "Her Favorite Song" featuring none other than Jessie Ware , who is one of my favorites from the UK right now. This soul/funk/bossa nova influenced track is quite smooth, as Hawthorne croons about a lonely lady making her escape with her 'favorite song'. That lonely girl would be played by Ms. Ware, who says very little words on this track - but in this case, less is more! Have a [...]
Dexter - Once Again Back (Tune In) It’s the kind of sound that smells summer. German producer Dexter brings the ’60s psychedelic rock into the hip hop scene with the bouncy, old skool and funk attitude forming a raw upbeat soul. This is what Once Again Back (Tune In) , the opening track from the excellent The Trip LP , is aiming for and (oh-lord) you can feel the earth shaking beneath your feet!!! This is how psych/hip hop should sound like!!! Blaxploited [...]
This British singer/songwriter from London goes by the name of Phoenix Martins and got rather interested when I started reading the brief : "she is set to release her debut single 'Heartstrings,'on 17th June 2013. To date she has supported and worked with artists including The Noisettes, Fife Dangerfield and Ebony Bones to just name a few...". A little bio and insight : A natural live performer, Phoenix has been singing since the age of seven, when her and her cousin would charge family members fifty pence each to see them sing everything [...]

Derek's Weekly 45's: Myron And E
While the crop of old school sounds that have popped back into consciousness within the past ten or so years may be looked at as a revival or comeback, only a fool would say that soul music had EVER gone away. Music has always been the center of my existence, and I remember back in the late 70's/ early '80's, TV commercials were full of reworked soul tunes (remember that floor cleaner using Robert Parker's 'Barefootin'?), and it's impossible to go anywhere in the world without [...]

THE STROKES – Happy Ending (Erol Sabadosh Remix)
Featuring Skream’s spectacular remix of Duke Dumont’s ‘Need U (100%)’ (as his opening track on his May 2013 DJ Mix ) Erol Sabadosh carries his own style of Sabahouse down an avenue of specific underground marvels, a sprinkle of funk, and an essence of vocal (and filtered) slickness. His re-rub of ‘Happy Ending’ by The Strokes puts vintage emphasis on the guitar and foremost delight on The Strokes vocals & groove. Let’s get both of these mixdowns turned right up!
