Sted-E & Hybrid Heights & Norty Cotto feat. Raul Soto - Ochun

Dance music’s founding father of Ancestral Soul offers up his sophomore studio album “Transition”, another rousing body of work which delves deep and wide across a spectrum of soul and African music.
 
Boddhi Satva’s debut full-length studio 2011/2012 album Invocation, released on Vega Records/BBE Music attracted endorsement from some of music’s most respected tastemakers, Gilles Peterson being one of them.
It set the bar high for where Boddhi Satva continues to take audiences currently on the new album Transition. And as before, the roster of names contributing to the set is a-class.
Nigerian pop star Davido and Ivorian Coupé Decalé forerunner DJ Arafat featured together on Naughty wave the flag high for West Africa – It’s a pulsating track leading the current wave of dance-leaning club music popular in the region and beyond. For the signature tradi/modern African sounds Boddhi turns to renowned elder statesmen such as Les Nubians (Cameroon), Kaysha (DRC), Nelson Freitas (Cape Verde), Amos Kangala (Central African Republic) or the new prince of the Malian/Ivorian scene Mohamed Diaby (Ivory Coast).

Because of Boddhi Satva’s unique position and heritage he can and does genuinely draw from a range of geographic and cultural influences. Born Central African Republican, his talents as a DJ remain in demand from Doha to Luanda. Transition bears the mark of a producer who takes his time cultivating real bonds in the numerous destinations where his work takes him. For example, Kenyan emerging solo star Lady Karun sings and co-writes Sound of the Heart. It’s a direct outcome from Boddhi Satva’s participation in Coke Studio Africa – a music reality television series set in Nairobi, which pitted the two together for a unique re-interpretation of classic and new school music.
 
For a further unexpected twist, Declaim and Georgia Anne Muldrow  pair up to contribute to When the Lights, a song that sees Boddhi reaching boldly and convincingly into more soulful Hip-hop territory. Staying in a similar realm he also taps the sensual allure of R&B singer/songwriter Teedra Moses on Skin Diver. None other than UK Soul architect Omar Lyefook MBE crowns Transition’s soul diversion with the lead singleBenefit.
 
Frequent collaborator Ade Alafia Adio delivers a stirring oration on the album’s title track paying tribute to Boddhi’s father. His life and sudden passing early in 2014 inspired the trajectory of Transition, the making of which began in 2012 in Central Africa where Boddhi had returned for the first time in 12 years.

“My father used to play a lot of Jazz, Soul, Disco and of course African Rhumba. Outside of the house I listened to Soukouss, Ndombolo, Hip-Hop and R&B,” recalls Boddhi of the upbringing he enjoyed in his native country.
“My father’s love for good music led me to develop a special sensitivity an ear to different cultures and sounds around the world.”

This album is the best case for what happens when the best of Black music in all its forms is allowed to merge into the purpose for which it was created: to enrich, to elevate, to evolve…. to transition.

"British ambient band Marconi Union has drummed up the world's most relaxing song: Weightless is 8 mins 10 sec. of aural bliss" - Time Magazine, Best Inventions of the Year. 

"An excellent compilation from the always interesting Just Music" - The Sunday Times

"The Ambient Zone is an album that feels like the world is peeling away, layer by layer, into multi-colored panoramas, just for you" - Echoes (CD of The Month)

The Ambient Zone is a beautiful journey into ambient and electronica inspired by universal themes of calmness, purity, relaxation and enrichment where Weightless is coupled with some exclusive first releases and other blissfully ambient tracks from Just Music artists and alumni.

Created instinctively and intuitively by Marconi Union, Weightless has been claimed to have therapeutic properties in the way the track almost appears to have a heartbeat running through it which slows down very gently throughout the piece, encouraging a deep sense of relaxation in the body, It's use of specific rhythms, beep bass tones, frequencies and intervals induce an almost trance like state in the listener.

"The Ambient Zone is an album that just screams (albeit quietly) of pure class" - Fluid Nation.

Dennis Ferrer & Foremost Poets  - Majority Report [JTTS](Rejected Demo)

When words & sounds collide. The Foremost Poets aka jOHNNYDANGEROUs has been reshaping Dance, Funk and the spoken word. jOHNNY is Philadelphia born, raised in Newark, New Jersey. He began his love for music as a Jazz Band & Drum Major in Arts High School & the Barringer High School band in the 1980's. He began his career as a resident DJ at Club America from 1989-1990, alongside DJs Naeem Johnson, DJ Camacho, Carlton Rosebure, DJ Slim, Messy Marv (Virginia), Kerri Chandler "The Great" & many others from Jersey. With many House Music greats, Johnny is one of the original 1990 inventors of The Deep House Sound through his own blend of future funk & spoken word. His career is replete with diversity, dropping a catalog of underground singles under two different names. In 1990, he released his first underground Foremost Poets single "Reasons To Be Dismal?" on Nu Groove/ SBK Records. A few years later, with no promotion, he dropped the jOHNNYDANGEROUs atomic bomb "Problem 13 (I Beat That Bitch With A Bat)" (1993). 

In 1998, Johnny recorded "MoonRaker" on Sound-Men On Wax (SOW) Records. This record crossed over into many styles of electronic dance music and can be heard in big rooms, festivals and local venues worldwide. All DJs from David Guetta to Funk Master Flex use jOHNNY's vocal acapellas as "DJ tools”. Known for various productions and remixes, his vocals are most frequently sampled and his sound is emulated worldwide. 

"There may be many Johnny Dangerous', but there's only one Foremost Poets.
