Richard Houghten - Saving a Life

Playing For Change "Groove In G" (Groovin G's Remix)

This is a perfect example of my style as a beat maker, random sounds coming together to make something fire. None of my beats ever end the way I first imagine them. I always end up taking a left turn, experimenting, pushing limits, and creating something new, all from my iPhone.

Play this in a car with a solid sound system or on Beats headphones for the full effect.
Made with iMaschine 2 (iPhone) & MPC Beats.

Putumayo Presents: MALI - Kalaban Coura & Quentin Dujardin

original music -https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5A0VXjKwYHs  The Touré-Raichel Collective is a musical group led by Malian singer and guitarist Vieux Farka Touré and Israeli singer and pianist Idan Raichel. The group's debut album, The Tel Aviv Session, was released on Cumbancha in March 2012.
In 2008, after a chance meeting at an airport terminal in Berlin, Germany, Raichel and Touré forged a friendship with an intention to perform together in concert. This came to fruition in November 2010 with the duo performing at the Tel Aviv Opera House. The following day they entered a recording studio in Tel Aviv. Joining Vieux and Idan in the studio were Israeli bassist Yossi Fine and Malian Calabash player Souleymane Kane. According to Raichel, the group "recorded a mix of Malian rhythms mixed with Israeli melodies — all originals, but very influenced from both our cultures." This spontaneous and improvised acoustic recording session lasted for three hours and marked the birth of The Touré-Raichel Collective. The group's debut album, The Tel Aviv Session, was released by Cumbancha on March 27, 2012. The group toured in North America, with Amit Carmeli on bass, in March and April 2012. The Touré-Raichel Collective completed a European tour in Fall 2012 and another European tour is planned for Spring 2013.

The Touré-Raichel Collective released their second album, The Paris Session, in Fall 2014. This album was supposed to be recorded in Mali, but political and religious unrest prevented this from happening. Instead, they recorded in Paris, France, informing the name "The Paris Session". Songs on this album are sung in French, Bambara, Songhai, and Hebrew, blending the two men's traditions.

Premiere: Mop Mop - Kamakumba (Delonte Rivers Edit)

Music Producer / Remixer / Mixer. Production credits: MCA Records, DKG/Universal Music, Bunim/Murray Productions, Waako Records, EastWest & Black Butta Sample CD's.

Greg has a passion for music and a drive for creative exploration which has taken him on a producing, writing and remixing adventure.

After he cut his first studio demo, in the back of a store front off Dale Avenue in St. Paul, MN., he received a call from a London based lawyer looking to buy his songs. “I began to think that maybe I needed to give this music production thing a little more thought”.

And that is what he did.

Greg's first release on the Beat Oven compilation, Yoda Mistress "Is This Real" featured the silky and soulful vocals of, Melodee who spent many years touring with Alexander O'Neal.

His 1st 12 inch single released in 1996, Superstitch "Come and Get Me", saw nationwide club play, peaking at #5 on the dance charts

In 1996-1998, Greg was signed to Stacey Castro's Hollywood, CA based, GroundWorks Music, a production and management company which led to remix work and also another successful 12 inch single, "(The) Kama Sutra", released on New York's Waako Records. This single went on to see much national and international club success as well as being a choice cut for several compilation CD's released by labels such as MCA Records. It was also selected to the initial voting rounds for the 40th Annual Grammy Awards.

From 2000-2005, Greg worked with producer and former Flyte Tyme Studios (Jimmy Jam & Terry Lewis) guru, Jeff Taylor of Madjef Productions. Work included programming, mixing and producing sample CD's (EastWest Black Butta series) as well as other production and remix work for various artists. Also along with Madjef, producing, writing and programming tracks for DKG / Universal Music recording artists, KUSH and Rhian Benson. 

Greg also had licensed cuts for Bunim/Murray Productions series, Making The Band 2 & How To Live Like A Model on MTV.

On a whim in 2011, Greg decided to register for a producer showcase event in Minneapolis sponsored by New York based company, iStandard Producers. Out of the 50 plus applicants he was chosen as the #2 best producer for the event by a panel of industry judges. To quote JayZ / 50 Cent producer (and judge) Buckwild, “ahhh, what can I say”.

In 2015 Greg collaborated with independent artist, Miss Krystle for a remix of her single, "Don't Leave" https://music.apple.com/us/album/dont-leave-bugs-gregory-after/955292278

Today Greg continues his creative journey and exploration working out of his home based music production suite somewhere in Groovesalot, MN.
