Do You

Betty Davis - Your Mama Wants Ya Back

A psychedelic rock jazz story about Mr Wonderful, a mysteriously powerful apostle of music.

Hey Mr Wonderful

This album comes from the afternoons when my grandfather picked me up from school in his Windstar. Detroit passed by the windows as we drove across the city to pick up my grandmother from work, sometimes stopping at Eastern Market for ice cream, sometimes grabbing food in the RenCen. The one constant was smooth jazz on V98.7 playing in the background, my grandfather lightly drumming along as we waited outside "old" Karmanos.

The sound of this album lives inside those memories. These songs carry that feeling forward through the way I create now, with technology that allows me translate those memories into music. Mixing nostalgia with a few modern twists, blending Motown drums with a hint of salsa for my mom on "Motown in Havana", and capturing my father-in-law Fast Freddy's hustling spirit on "Freddy on the Scene", this project brings different shades of smooth jazz together through my own interpretation.

This album is my way of honoring family and the city that raised me, a smooth jazz Detroit story told through the eyes of the boy riding in the passenger seat.

Motown in Havana

A-Side Breaks Vol. 3 marks another chapter in a series I’ll be dropping on a regular basis — a steady stream of break-heavy selections designed for dancers who live in that space where rhythm meets instinct.

This volume leans into the raw, percussive energy that powers the breakin’ world: those stripped-down drum sections and groove pockets that DJs stretch out to keep the floor alive. These are the moments breakers train to, build on, and lose themselves in — the fuel behind the footwork, the shapes, the creativity, the flow.
For Vol. 3, I went crate-deep again, pulling out joints that shaped different generations of movement culture. It’s a nod to the roots, a salute to the dancers, and a reminder that the spirit of the break is still beating strong.

And since this series is dropping continuously, expect more heat soon — more rhythms, more textures, more reasons to hit the floor.
Back to the raw. Back to the groove. Back to the break.
