Love her and all her other songs but thus one just hits perfect 

it's the sound! the sound...the sound.  The sound? Yes!

Hey mate, thinks for this track, I liked it so much I wrote a microreview of it: timhildred.com/do-your-thing-las…me-4-oct-26-2018/

Myron & E with the Soul Investigators.

The road to soul by Northern Cali's Myron & E (Myron Glasper and Eric "E da Boss" Cooke) ran through hip-hop first.  They met while on tour with Oakland's Blackalicious - Cooke was teh tour DJ and Glasper sang backup - and bonded over a love of classic soul music.

While on a separate tour through Finland, a chance encounter led Cooke to an impromptu jam session with members of The Soul INvestiagors, whose work with singer Nicole Willis helped define them as one of Europe's foremost retro-soul bands.  Producer Didler Selin was impressed enough to leave Cooke with several Soul INvestigator tracks.  Back in the Bay Area, he recruited Glasper as a songwriting/vocal team and the collaboration had begun.

Myron & E with the Soul investigators released a string of limited edition 45s which radiated such an authentic soul vibe that they were embraced through Europe and America, and caught on with the low-rider scene in California.

In the past year, the team focused on building its live show and perfecting its debut album, Broadway, now being released on Stones Throw Records.



10 They Don't Know

Under another track of mine, I asked Spacey Panda in the comments if she wanted to do French spoken vocals. Shortly after, she sent me the vocals and I added some music, mixed and mastered it and did the artwork. And here we are. I always wanted to make a track with French vocals and now it came to life. I hope you guys enjoy the track.

Lyrics by Spacey Panda

C'est une symphonie ou le chaos règne
Les mots, résonnent, echos d'une peine
Tel un écho des temps
Une mélodie du mal
Dans les méandres de mon âme en émoi
S'écrit l'histoire d'un amour qui se noie
Telle une alchimiste, je cherche en vain, à capturer l'éphémère entre mes mains
Dans cet océan d'émoi, de sensations
Nos désirs, sont des flammes qui dansent dans la nuit
Consumant tout sur leur passage
Sans bruit
Nous entraient dans un tourbillon enhivrant
Où la passion est reine,
Ou tout est vibrant

C'est une symphonie - feat. Spacey Panda

ADESUWA - "Hot Water" (Sly5thave Remix)

About “The Egyptian Second Line” 

In the spirit of reclaiming that which colonization sought to destroy, I'm releasing the first single from my upcoming album Afro-Caribbean Mixtape at the top of Columbus Day weekend. Like a piece of African patchwork, this track is comprised of a lot of different elements — some old, some new. The main body of this record was constructed from the end vamp of a tune I wrote for Dr. Greg Carr (chair of African-American studies at Howard University) called, “Kimathi.” In fact, throughout the piece, you can hear my turntablist, DJ Lady Fingaz, scratching a sample I chopped from one of his interviews. I constructed a new work by cutting and pasting the best moments of Kevin Hays and I playing keyboards on top of the extended jam, and superimposed that over the groove laid down by bassist Vicente Archer, drummer Joe Dyson, and percussionist Daniel Sadownick. I did this with the help of my mix engineer, Blake Leyh (The Wire, Treme). 

Towards the beginning of the piece, you'll hear a chant from vocalists Yolanda Robinson, Jolynda Phillips, and Christina Machado. It's from a thing my father made up while walking through his childhood neighborhood of 13th Ward New Orleans back in the 1940s, “Na-na ni-ta ho-ho. Left, right. Left, right.” Thirty years later, as an elementary school band teacher at McDonogh #15, he had us chant this whenever we marched in second line parades. It recalls the syllabic prayers of ancient languages used in modern dance songs like Mani Dibango's “Soul Makossa,” of which Michael Jackson borrowed for “Wanna Be Startin' Something.”  


The centerpiece of the single is my recitation of a poem I wrote back in 2006 in the aftermath of the flood commonly referred to as “Katrina.” It's called “The Egyptian Second Line.” The gist of the poem toys with the theory that somehow Africans submitted to slavery in an attempt to become better versions of themselves. After the ladies chirp the hook, I step away from the keyboards and embrace the instrument I'm most known for — the trumpet — and blow a few before we take it out. With this song, I am channeling the energy of the ancestors to help give Africa back to herself in the best way I know how, through the power of music. 


In New Orleans, a “second line” is the procession where we dance in the streets to music played by a brass band to celebrate either life or death. When I think about what an Egyptian second line looks like, I think of the imagery of that photo of Louis Armstrong serenading his wife, Lucille in front of the Sphinx — again Africans giving Africa back to herself.

昨年リリースしたデビューシングル「EP01」は、ここ日本を経由しヨーロッパ各地のビートシーンでも話題となり、瞬く間にその名前を知らしめたニュージーランドの若きビートメーカー／プロデューサー＜クリストフ・エル・トルエント＞、注目のセカンド・シングルはなんと、「ジャズ」。黒人音楽や実験音楽、電子音楽、ブラジル音楽の影響をつよく受け、彼が持つ音楽的な豊かさとヴィジョンがビートミュージックという枠を超え、これまでどのビートメイカーも思い描かなかった圧倒的な世界へと導く本作。現在のビートシーンが突入した新次元の表現のあり方を象徴的にあらわした作品と言えだろう。参加ミュージシャンにはニュージーランドのビートシーンの旗手、ジュリアン・ダインがドラムスにホーンにはFunkommunityとして活動するIsaac AesiliのWNアーティストが全面強力バックアップ、予想を遙かに越えたビートメーカーが描く現代進行形の「ジャズ」、絶対聴き逃すな！ アートワークはNujabesをはじめとするHydeout関連のジャケットも手掛ける、FJD（藤田二郎）による本作をイメージした幻想的で美しい世界観を描いたデザインを採用。

● Christoph El Truentoプロフィール
クリストフ・エル・トルエント（Christoph El Truento）はニュージーランドのオークランド出身の音楽プロデューサー、DJ。おもにビートミュージックを手がけるが、ジャズやエレクトロ・ミュージックの影響をつよく受けており、強い重低音と特異なリズム、ときにはミニマルなビートを作り出すのが特徴的である。デビューEPはグルーブマン・スポットなどの国内トップ・プロデューサー達も注目しカルト・ヒットした。近く発表するアルバムではSUN RA、Alice Coltraneなどにインスパイアーされ実験音楽〜エレクトロミュージック〜ジャズへと消化しビートミュージックを超越したアルバム「What We Used To Know」をリリース予定。
