::: Vibes N Scribes :::

Welcome…welcome…
I hope this post finds everyone well. April showers bring May flowers, so it is said. I won’t be posting any flower pics as themes next month (as there is a possibility I may take some time off in May from posting the Sunday Soundtrack due to work related issues - we shall see).

That being said, I bring forth…..the playlist. Vibe is the tone…let’s go.

1. No Use - Jazzanova feat. Clara Hill/In Between
2. Makeda - Les Nubians/Princesses Nubiennes
3. Aganju - Bebel Gilberto/Bebel Gilberto
4. Down In Brazil - Richard Bull/One Summer Sky
5. Groove Interrupted - Pieto
6. One Wish For Me - Miguel Migs/Colorful You
7. Positivity - Positive Flow feat. Donna Gardier/Can You Feel It?
8. Moon Over Flamingo Lodge - Monte LaRue/Ceci n’est pas une compilation (Disque Deux)
9. In The Middle Of You - Vikter Duplaix/Bold and Beautiful

Thanks to my fellow podcasters for the cool drops you did for me….I appreciate it….

peaceful vibes…

Fresh!

Welcome crew…. The above picture is pretty much descriptive of the day as I type this. Been a busy weekend, so dub this the Sunday (Evening) Soundtrack.

Hope everyone had a good week. I chose a theme for this podcast based on two songs that played back to back on my iPod this week. The theme is Sista Soul, each track is a soulful tune with female lead vox, but with hints of downtempo and chill elements thrown in for good measure - hope you enjoy.

The playlist is as follows:

1. Don’t Waste Your Time (DJ Smash Remix) - Deborah Bond/Midnight Soul 3 (Disc 1)
2. Friendly Pressure - Jhelisa/Future Soul
3. Nutshell - Kim Hill/Midnight Soul 3 (Disc 1)
4. You Will Rise - Sweetback/Sweetback
5. Thrill (Featuring Ma Dita) - dZihan & Kamien/Gran Riserva
6. This Lull-a-bye - Esthero/We R in need of a musical ReVoLuTIon
7. Curiousity - Amba/Amba
8. Perfect For Me - Shang/Beautiful

Shouts to DJ Diva, The Mixtress and Nikki…the female podcasters with (sista) soul. Nod to EJ my DJ, who is a Jhelisa fan, and Jenn who is a BIG fan of Amel Larrieux (did I mention she is a big fan???). Shouts to all my other fellow podcasters as well.

peaceful vibes, strong grooves

 Welcome to The Sunday Soundtrack - 20 Apr 08: Play Now | Play in Popup | Download

Hello and welcome back. I trust everyone is doing well. Hang on…I hope my bagels are not burning….be right back!

Sorrrryyy! Ok…Glad to bring u another edition of The Sunday Soundtrack. It’s always nice to bring a few new artists to podcast and this week, those two, well known artists, are Koop and Kaya Project. I hope you enjoy their offerings.

A question was posed to me last week: Where do you find your tracks? I often choose tracks based on what I hear when I am driving, listening to XM Radio’s Channel 84 - Chill, or listening to  Groove Salad - an excellent source for the genres presented in this podcast. Groove Salad has a podcast on iTunes via NPR that gives samplings of what they play. Rusty Hodge does a fine job of producing that podcast, complete with info on each artist.

This week’s playlist is as follows:

1. Summer Sun - Koop/Waltz For Koop
2. The Flow (Aural Float Remix Edit) - Vargo/Ibiza Chillout Edition
3. Good Morning London - Kaya Project/Elixir
4. City Childhood - Vision
5. Superdope - Jens Buchert/Intersphere
6. Falling Man - Espresso Del Lago/Yeti
7. Bomberclad Joint (Knowtoryous) - Kruder & Dorfmeister/The K&D Sessions
8. Dreaming of You - Chevalier

All the artists, with the exception of Vision and Chevalier, can be found on iTunes

Self correction: I mentioned in the podcast that if I forgot anyone, to charge it to my heart and not my mind….NOT!! Charge it to my MIND and not my HEART! HAHA! Extra shouts to Nikki AND THE SENSEI - Ej FLAVORS! All the links are in my blog roll!

Here’s to a wonderful day, night, and week. Thanks for listening…

peace….
Fresh!

Welcome listeners. Thanks for stopping by. My hopes are that you’ve had or are currently having a great week. A busy one here (I MUST learn to slowwwwwwww down). It’s been somewhat relaxing, so no complaints.

This edition of the SSP follows the format of last week - keepin’ it moving with a gradual, but jazzy descent into chill. Taking it from the top, the playlist is as follows:

1. Summertime Breeze - Larry Heard (Mr Fingers)/Future Soul
2. Wooter - RDM
3. Azure - Beanfield/Human Patterns
4. Spirit - Monet/Groove Boutique Vol. 1
5. Deepness Is Served - J.Axel/Deepness Is Served
6. Aztec - Jens Buchert/Sunrider
7. Cinquo Dias - Espresso Del Lago/Yeti
8. Astral Projections - Tom Middleton/LifeTracks

All of the above artists can be found on iTunes and Amazon with the exception of rdm. His page is here.

Special shouts to two of my brothers in podcasting: Fave with the Friday Favecast, and Darrenkeith Wyatt with Thriftstore Gems and My Love For Music. Welcome back Fave, with the new hotness for the remainder of ‘08 and beyond. The layout is bangin’. Kudos to Darrenkeith for the offerings of the varied genres he brings us in both podcasts, and passion he puts forth in portraying “the different”

Wishing continued success to all the other podcasters also!

peace!
Fresh!

Crew…We’re back once more. Hope all is well. In preparation for the CD release of ‘What Love Is’ this summer, we’ve decided to produce a series of short podcasts to give you some insight on our ‘labor of love’ debut CD project. This second podcast, entitled “Project Status” , gives you a little insight as to where we are currently.

PS: Adding this VERY on point article: 25 Things That Have Killed (and are killing) Urban Music

Since recording this, I’ve had Dan in the studio working on the bass guitar track to the duet entitled “Starting Over”, we’ve recorded our first artist podcast with one of vocalists, Jua Howard, and began work this evening on the string arrangement and drum track for the track entitled “Don’t Wanna See You Go”.

Hope you enjoyed the podcast. Stay tuned next week for the A6P Artist Podcast #1 - Jua Howard.

peace,
Fresh!

Good evening all…Yes evening…
This is the Sunday evening edition of the Sunday Soundtrack (smile). I hope this finds you well. In my constant search for the mellowest, yet groove laden, tracks of downtempo, chill, electronica, and ambient, I strive to bring those to the listening audience. This edition brings some more uptempo tracks up front, to a slower movement towards the end.

Today’s edition brings u some well known artists in the aforementioned genres, as well as, once again, Todd Kelley, aka The Big La vs Todd. I hope you do enjoy it. The track list is as follows:

1. Shinkansen - Tom Middleton/Lifetracks
2. Sure Thing - St. Germain/Ultra Chilled
3. Where Are We - dZihan & Kamien/Freaks and Icons
4. Holographic Universe - Thievery Corporation/The Cosmic Game
5. Afterworld - Alex Cortiz/Magnifico
6. Half Moon Bay (Feeding The Pelicans) - Big La vs Todd/Enemy Of The Crates
7. Get Back To Serenity (Beach Mix) - Vargo/Beauty

Down tempo Chill out United By Grooves PerspectivesThis is a trip out fly by through the world of Love , Peace & Wisdom , Adventure , Art ,Compassion & Beauty from the perspective of an Angel. It’s a good life that creates such a dream.(c)Haus 33 Brighton UK 2008

Crew…We’re back once more. Hope all is well. In preparation for the CD release of ‘What Love Is’ this summer, we’ve decided to produce a series of short podcasts to give you some insight on our ‘labor of love’ debut CD project. This second podcast, entitled “The State of R&B” basically gives our view on the current state of urban contemporary music as we see it today. The podcast is only our opinion after listening to it, and playing it for over 20 years. Many forms of music have been, and understandbly so, evolutionary, due to many factors. This discussion, is not an old one, but an addition to similar ones had over the years. Respect to artists and producers today makin’ it big and those who are following the current trends to do so.

Feel free to leave commentary. For more on AfterSix Productions, you can visit our MySpace page, stay tuned for our OFFICIAL website this summer.

peace,

 A6P - The State of R&B - Podcast #2: Play Now | Play in Popup | Download

From YouTube:This fascinating, brilliant 20-minute video narrates the history of the “Amen Break,” a six-second drum sample from the b-side of a chart-topping single from 1969. This sample was used extensively in early hiphop and sample-based music, and became the basis for drum-and-bass and jungle music — a six-second clip that spawned several entire subcultures. Nate Harrison’s 2004 video is a meditation on the ownership of culture, the nature of art and creativity, and the history of a remarkable music clip.

Good day/evening listeners….Thanks for checking out this edition of The Sunday Soundtrack. This edition is a special departure from the vibes of downtempo, chill, electronica, and ambient beats. Instead, it is a celebratory musical offering in dedication to Jesus Christ on this Resurrection Sunday.

The tracks in offering are hymns and gospel tunes rendered in a contemporary format. The artists featured are The Brentwood Jazz Quartet and gospel keyboardist, Ben Tankard. For those of you familiar with gospel songs and traditional hymns, see how many you recognize as you listen.

The tracklisting is as follows:

1. For God So Loved The World - Ben Tankard
2. Christ The Lord Is Risen Today - The Brentwood Jazz Quartet
3. What A Friend We Have In Jesus - Ben Tankard
4. Holy, Holy, Holy - The Brentwood Jazz Quartet
5. Welcome Into This Place - Ben Tankard
6. Let Us Break Bread Together - Sam Levine (Brentwood Jazz)
7. A Mighty Fortress - Brentwood Jazz Quartet
8. Kume-Bi-Yah - Ben Tankard
9. No Words Necessary - Ben Tankard

I’ll take this moment to give thanks unto Him for paying the cost at Calvary for me, and for every blessing He has given unto me…

Have a great and prosperous day
…peace

F!
