The Sunday Soundtrack – 14 Apr 13

Greetings Listeners….

Welcome to another edition of The Sunday Soundtrack. “It’s been a long time, I shouldn’t have left you…” (a little hip hop lyric reference there). It’s great to be back with another edition, albeit overdue, of the podcast. It’s about 12:37 am here in studio, but it’s done. I hope to stay on a regular (to be determined) schedule. Starting with pre-production on Monday for the following Sunday helps, doing a little everyday helps even more. The plan is to finish Saturday evening 🙂

For my new listeners, The Sunday Soundtrack podcast is geared towards giving you an alternative listening experience to the standard Sunday afternoon commercial smooth jazz formatted programs and expose you to independent artists with tunes that provide that same smoothness, but in such genres as electronica, nu jazz, downtempo, experimental, chillout, instrumental jazzy hip hop, and the like. Please feel free to take a listen and leave comments, if u like. You can also reach The Sunday Soundtrack at (301) 458-0499

Without further delay, let’s get to the playlist.

1. Moon Beat – LTJ X-Perience/Moon Beat
2. Consequences (Late Night Mix) – Blank & Jones/Relax 4
3. Gutenmirgenduft (Morning Scent) – dZihan & Kamien/Gran Riserva
4. Subsolitude – Hypoetical/Pendulum
5. Try Me – J Boogie’s Dubtronic Science f/Goapele & Capitol A/J Boogie’s Dubtronic Science – OM Records 2003
6. Square Purity – The Jazzment/Beats – Old Stuff
7. Sunbeams – Uko/Cafe Del Mar – Vol. 7

    Nice commentary: The Sunday Soundtrack

    As you know, I’ve finally come around to bringing The Sunday Soundtrack back after a few months. As said in the previous post, it was a pleasure to get back in the swing of it and I appreciate the comments from all of you yesterday. I gave a particular shout out to Dionne during yesterday’s edition. I found out about how much she enjoyed it via her friend Davis, a follower of mine on Twitter. After inquiring if they got a chance to listen, I received two direct messages he allowed me to post:

    The Sunday Soundtrack on a Sunday, during brunch….that’s what I’m talking about. D, thanks for inspiring me to never take such a long hiatus again. It’s that kinda atmosphere that makes creating the Sunday Soundtrack a sheer pleasure. Glad you enjoyed it so much. Say hello to Dionne for me.

    You can follow the Sunday Soundtrack on Twitter here. You can follow me here. Have a great day.

    Music – The Global Outreach and Eternal Gift (A contest too!)

    A very cool thing occurred this afternoon while at work. A few months ago, I was passing through the usual virtual spots and, as customary, always keeping an eye out for interesting websites that would fit the overall theme of what vibesnscribes.com is about. This one particular site I came across happened to be an indie netlabel called Dusted Wax Kingdom. On that label I found some artists specializing in underground soulful instrumental hip hop, often composed on the all too famous Akai MPC. I took a liking to the tunes by an artist named Skipless, so much so that I decided to feature his tracks on a recent Sunday Soundtrack podcast. He also has myspace page as well.

    I took the liberty to reach out to let him know how much I enjoyed his EP and that I featured it on the podcast. He, in turn, mentioned that he would send me a CD and was grateful that I enjoyed his tracks enough to feature them on the podcast. Noticing his locale, I thanked him, but passed it off as a gesture that probably would remain as that, although we decided to follow each other on myspace.

    Lo and behold, today, our receptionist came to my desk with this:

    skipless1

    skipless2

    Ha…I’m even diggin’ the CD emulating vinyl…it looks cool! That delivery was a GREAT surprise and showed me, once again, how the gift of music can communicate greatly. In addition, the whole vibe, from the first listen, to the online communication, to the gift was very cool. I often sit in my studio workin on personal tracks, messin’ around with beats, our own CD project, the whole nine, and sometimes wonder how many others are doing the same thing I am doing…in a bright bedroom, dark area, minimal gear, maximum set up, professional studio, etc.

    In any event, he not only sent me one CD, but several, and asked me to give them away to friends and continue to spread the word. To that end, here’s a little contest. If u like what you’ve heard on my previous podcast, be the first to send me the country in which he lives, and I will send u one – Hint: Read this post carefully. I’ll determine the winner by the first time stamp of the answer that I receive as a comment to this post.

    Ok…about to get some breakfast and get into the day….a busy one is predicted. Thanks for the read.

    Flow positivity…

    peace,
    F!

    That Sunday Soundtrack Global Outreach…I love it.

    Had to share a comment from the Facebook group…a comment that makes doing this podcast all worthwhile. Have a great day!

    Bonjour Doug ; )

    Happy to read you, i like your warm voice in the night, when candles are burning on my indonesian opium low table and Nag Champa indian encens is burning… Just finish a week-end with a charming south-korean girl :p Chill out attitude is the way of life and musics feed our souls. You have a very good taste in your selection. I feel that you are influenced by european electronic musics, this week, for example. I am already addict to your podcast dude : )

    I see that each week you put a pic with your podcast. Let’s have a look at my travel photos sets on flickr.com. (Backpacker75 is my screenname on lonelyplanet.com travel forums). If there is one you want put a week with your podshow, be free to take one.
