04. All I Need Feat. Ivan Neville

02. Pick It Up!

Finding new music that resonates with us can sometimes be a challenge. There's an immense amount of stuff out there - some that's best served at loud volumes, others that gently recall distant memories of times gone by.

We're fortunate to be able to work with so many talented artists, and equally as fortunate to be able to share them with you. The GrapeVine is designed to help highlight some of these producers and fresh new tunes that deserve your listening ear. This is our thanks to you - please download these, enjoy them, and support the artists that have contributed to this project.

The Philos crew presents our seventh installation of our GrapeVine series, featuring:

Ageless - The News

One definition of 'Fortify' is "to strengthen mentally or morally", something I strive to do as a person and with my music. 

For this 4-track EP I spent countless hours tweaking every little noise and note to create a sound deeply rooted in classic funk, with elements of 90's hip-hop and hard hitting bass. Shout out to @800lbgorilla on the dope cover art. 

A few weeks ago we premiered the album's single "The First Time" with @theuntz and I'm thrilled to premiere the full album with them: http://www.theuntz.com/news/ageless-amazes-us-with-his-future-funk-fortified-ep-philos-records/

Andrew Block is a New Orleans based funk, soul and rhythm & blues guitarist who has shared the stage and studio with legendary artists such as Gramatik, Pretty Lights, GRiZ, Ivan Neville's Dumpstaphunk, Russ Liquid, Oteil Burbridge, Eric Krasno, Adam Deitch, and George Porter Jr. He is either a member of, or performs frequently with The Nigel Hall Band, The John "Papa" Gros Band and Terence Higgins' Swampgrease, and a former member of Big Sam's Funky Nation, Corey Henry's Treme Funktet, Mia Borders, and Russell Batiste & Friends. He has also played along side numerous artists at the Bear Creek Music & Art Festival, where he was as an artist-at-large from 2010-2012. In May of 2014, he was called on to record with Grammy Nominated DJ/Producer Pretty Lights, for his upcoming album and is currently touring with EDM star Gramatik.

Block's tasty and soulful funk chops, honed on countless gigs on Frenchmen St. are prominent on his debut record, You Can Only Go Up From Here, which was produced by Grammy winning producer, John Porter (B.B. King, Buddy Guy, Taj Mahal, Los Lonely Boys). Some of New Orleans' funkiest musicians Raymond Weber, Nigel Hall, Terence Higgins, Tony Hall and Ivan Neville round out a rhythm section that provide a danceable, grooving foundation for the soulful guest vocals of New Orleans' own Erica Falls and Nick Daniels III. The tight, JB's-esque horn arrangements were provided by Ryan Zoidis, of Lettuce and Soulive.
