Studio Apartment - 'The Rising Sun'
King Street has been around since just about the beginning and still
can crank out the jams. This full-length album follows that pattern.
Studio Apartment is a Japanese production duo… who knew!
Mark Farina - 'Mushroom Jazz 6'
Mark Farina has sorted through and handpicked recently released tracks
suited to circle and fill out his Mushroom sound. Downtempo, hip hop,
jazz, ambient, and funk are the primary ingredients, with other spices
mixed in to fare listeners to their destination in a casually decadent
fashion.
Various Artists - NovaTunes 1.8
The concept is in the name with these eighteen songs of varying moods. The is something for almost everyone on this album that doesn’t pretend to be something that it isn’t. From reggae grooves to classic Dinah Washington with worldly sounds and arrangements, Nova Tunes 1.8 is a delightfully healthy musical smorgasbord, and pays homage to the playlist, or “le grand mix” of Nova radio in Paris, France.
Seria - 'Paradise EP'
Tampa, Florida based Seria's debut disc whets out palate with three tasty tracks. The first single, “Paradise”, was produced by Jesse Saunders who has taken her under his wing. The moving dance track “Body Heat” and an R&B-style ballad “The Same Old Song” finish off the EP. The legendary Saunders has inspired Seria the songstress and opened her eyes to the idea of working with other song writers. “Body Heat” is the most pleasingly playable for DJs, pretty dope and danceable too.
Mark Tara - 'Lola'
Once upon a time there was a musical that I never heard about called Damn Yankees which inspired Mark Tara to compose "Lola" as an homage. “The record Lola was actually going to be more of a spiritual record”, Mark explained to me, “Hence the bonus tracks "The Beginning”... (Which I think should have lead the album because its fantasy-driven lyrics really get your attention)
Various Artists - 'Fuse Presents Deetron'
Pumping with versatile and entertaining dance music producer beats is the latest in the Fuse cavalcade of party music, 'Fuse Presents Deetron.' There are approximately seventy-eight minutes of non-stop groove music going on here! It is all hands on the dancefloor inclusive and stylistically sufficient for your every boogie need.
Cazals - 'What of Our Future'
While the Cazals may appeal to some listeners with its 80s-inspired
infusion of synths and rock, the musical experience comes off as
generic and a bit tiresome after a few tracks into the album. Phil
Bush’s thin raspy vocals lack any real depth or range and seem to lack
the edge needed to support the somewhat lacking lyrics.
BradElectro - 'Pinstripe Late Nite'
The gateway city of St. Louis, Missouri gives us one of the latest purveyors of electro-funk, donning his gangster thread in the form of Pinstripe Late Nite. His name is Brad – or BradElectro as he likes to be known, now hailing out of Oakland, Cali with nothing but his mid-western accent left and his formula of success that gives hope to all of us who have large vinyl collections and a computer. All he needed to get started was some music sequencing software.
